Yes, all recovered, thanks. It was a quadruple bypass and knowing I was considered an 'urgent' case - and yet still being pushed back along their waiting list took some serious distraction to push outta my view.
Thankfully, my friend and bandmate Corky hit a rich seam, so Thought Bubble worked on lots of tracks. We actually released three albums in that period. And then, through a casual natter about stuff and things I also started working with Earthling Fred, from my home studio. It helped massively.
Yes, I was drumming despite awaiting major heart surgery. Part of me was thinking I was creating music for posthumous releases.

Within four months of my operation I was out playing hand percussion, at little festivals, with various bands. At Kozfest, I played with NINE acts.
