Déjà vu: same story, different day...

Operation number 4! Apparently the operation was successful! my pec tendon was re-attached with 3 metal anchors and reinforced with tendo-achilles allograft (sterilised achilles tendon tissue taken from a cadaver...) and biologically enhanced with platelet rich plasma (taken from my own blood). I am feeling surprisingly good, nowhere near as drowsy and numb as post the previous operations, but considerably more local pain in the chest – the ‘nerve block’ obviously did not work, and my back is numb instead of my chest... anyhow, I am feeling confident that this is the final step to full recovery and I will be back sailing again before the end of next year...
