See you each Monday & Friday for my next video
You are a trooper sir! Speedy recovery.
Thanks Joe, things have improved a lot since this video 👍
Thanks for sharing such an honest account Martin - your attitude is second to none 👏
Thanks Sam, that's nice of you to say 👍
This is so courageous of you to still make videos like this. Keeping us updated allows us to at least feel and understand even a small amount of what you're going through. Keep your head up and keep fighting the good fight.
Thanks Kev, I'm hoping just one more of these videos in this series and normal life will resume 🤞
So the trouble with your bladder lead to a second operation. I’m so glad you were able to get that done immediately. Hope the second operation went well ❤️ again, thank you for sharing this
Aye, I wasn't expecting an extra OP but needs must and it's done the job, I just need to get back to normal now and I'm getting there 👍
Wow. Thank you for sharing your journey so openly and honestly. Unfortunately, I have witnessed similar situations with some of those I love the most. It's a terrible disease. You obviously possess great strength and bravery. Keep it up. Keep fighting. Keep running the race. You are in my thoughts.
Thanks for that, it has been a difficult period of time, sharing it has certainly helped me along the way 👍
Thanks for sharing 👍 it's inspirational to see you will get thru this episode and return to beautiful trails 🌞
Thanks Timo, I'll be back on the trails as soon as I can, though I do need to be a bit patient 😬
Martin - you are strong and brave to share. Thank you! This was hard to watch and glad that you are feeling better. Praying for a full recovery for you. Take good care, my friend.
Thanks Ray, thankfully feel as if I've turned a big corner and things are progressing 🤞👍
It has all been said by others Martin. Sounds like you went through the mill with that one. Glad you are now feeling a bit better and I hope your recovery continues. Don't try to do too much too soon, I am sure we will see you out on your mad mountain runs before long. All the best friend.
Thanks Peter, you're right with not doing too much to soon, glad to say I'm seeing improvements, but yes take it easy 😀
Hi Martin, not to repeat what others have already said - i’ll simply say “wow”. I did pick up what you said in one of your previous run videos - I knew it wasn’t clear sailing at that time. I’m so glad you’ve turned the corner. A sharp one at that. Waiting for your next installment. Thanks again always for sharing your journey. Wayne
Thanks Wayne, I'm looking forward to being able to bring you all along on my runs again as soon as possible 👍🏃♂️
Thank you for sharing my friend, it's really amazing how you are dealing with this situation, you are so strong man, keep pushing. I wish you a quick recovery!
Thanks Corriamone, I'm looking forward to it being a few months down the line and this is more in the past 👍🏃♂️
Well your looking good at the end of the video except for the last picture of you in the bed at the hospital! Hang in recovery is a difficult thing. Best wishes with the recovery!
Thanks Davinder, I'm feeling like I'm making progress, it's been a difficult period but certainly looking better now 👍🏃♂️
You're looking a lot better Martin. Sounds like you've been through the wringer though!! Looking forward to your next upload.
Cheers Jim, on the whole feeling a better, saying that the past 12 hours have been a bit duff, but duff periods are getting fewer 👍
Those stomach spasm sound awful! What a absolute nightmare! I hope that's all behind you now mate! Take care and stay safe matey! 😎🤘🏻
Thanks Ben, I'm sure the worst has passed and things are going as planned now (apart from the lottery win)
@@TheDeterminedRunner I am glad you're on the up mate! I am starting to get withdrawal symptoms from not seeing your beautiful scenery on my screen. Take care mate and keep playing that lottery! 😎🤘🏻
@@BenNotley I get Ingrid to do the lottery, that means I can concentrate on toys 😁
@@TheDeterminedRunner 🤣 smart move!
My prayers are with you as you go through this treatment program. Hope you will have a full recovery soon!
Thanks Robbie, all being well I should see big improvements in the coming week's 👍
Sounds like it’s been a difficult road. I’m glad you’re feeling better.
Thanks Angel
Sounds like you’ve had a rough time Martin, but hopefully through the worst of it and your certainty looking much better. Wishing you a speedy recovery 💪🏻
Thanks Tony, certainly past the worst and on the right road now 👍
Wow, thanks for keeping it so real and honest. These are such difficult topics to discuss for a lot of people, but your efforts are helping to normalize the discussion, which I believe is SO important to helping others seek out proper medical and mental health care. So glad to hear you continue to be on the mend :) - E
Thanks Adam and Elise, it's going to be great getting back out there and it's getting slowly closer 👍🏃♂️
Wish you a quick recovery in this journey Martin! Can't wait to see yout next video with you running! Sending all the good thoughts! ✌️
Thanks Mihai, I'm looking forward to that run myself 😀🏃♂️
Sorry to hear about all the challenges but glad to see you're looking well with high spirits! I hope the recovery starts trending upwards soon.
Thanks, things are on the up now, I'm looking forward to getting on the trails again, I just need to make sure it's bit by bit 👍🏃♂️
Sounds like quite the scare and painful experience! Will be looking for episode 4 to hear how things are progressing! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks, episode 4 is out on Friday 👍
Wow, that sounds like none of that was fun 😳. Hope all of this will soon be over and just a bad memory. Stay strong Martin 💪.
Thanks Steph, I'm looking forward to it being in the past 👍
I love how open and honest you're being sharing this journey with all of us - the good, bad and ugly. You have such an amazing attitude with it all. Wishing you a speedy recover still after that operations and sending you lots of good vibes!
Thanks Jenn, I'll keep my👁👁open for those good vibes 😁
A very frank and brave account Martin. Gee that’s a lot you’ve gone through. Glad it now seems to all be on track 😊
Thanks Wendy, it'll be interesting me looking back on these videos in years to come 👍
You are so strong and so inspiring my friend! Sounds like a rough ride but your honest reporting is going to help a lot of people. I wish you a quick recovery! Keep pushing!
Thanks Paul, I'm definitely feeling much better, after a rough period for sure 👍🏃♂️
Wishing you a speedy recovery!! Sounds like an ordeal!! Love the positive vibes you still have!! Keep it up!! ❤❤
Thanks Jess, it was no wonder I had to postpone our chat 😀
Sounds like you really went through it.
It wasn't as straight forward as I thought it was going to be
What a journey for you and your family. Hoping for a speedy recovery! (Future running is going to be a piece of cake after this!)
Thanks Becky, it's been eventful, I'm looking forward to running again 👍🏃♂️
Holy crap dude. I was wincing and watching most of that through my fingers. What a traumatic experience. Hope you're on the mend for real now 🙏👍🏻
Cheers Mark, I'm heading in the right direction now, it'll be something to look back on for sure 😁
Stay strong 🙏
Will do, thanks 👍
Sounds like you’ve been through the ringer mate, thanks for sharing your experience, great to see you well on the road to a full recovery 🙏🏻💪🏼
Cheers Soupy, aye it's been eventful, all in the past now, back to it soon 🤞
@@TheDeterminedRunner just think how worse it could have been if they hadn’t found it as early as they did 🍀👍🏻
@@soupyruns9709 I know,I've actually been lucky in a weird sort of way 🤪
Ah mate, sounds hard to get through, you're really positive about it all! Think I'd be in bits.
Thanks Ian, it was bloody hard at points but going as it should now (thankfully)
I can’t even began to comprehend the amount of pain you had to endure Martin.. you are a brave, courageous man ! Praying for your recovery🙏🏾
Thanks Majors, in the grand scheme of things it was a period of short term crap to deal with long term positive outcome just around the corner 👍🏃♂️
Hang in there Martin! Walking is absolutely awesome! Sorry that you went through shock after your surgery. I wonder if the spasm was just a reflex from everything going on? Sorry that the spasms got worse. You gotta listen to your body if you feel the need to go into the hospital don’t hesitate ❤️. You’re an absolutely champ for sharing all of this with us. I have so much respect for you. Keep telling yourself that YOU WILL CONQUER THIS! Because you will! 🙏🏾💜
Thanks Daniella, it's not been the most pleasant of times but short term pain for long term gain and I'm past the worst now 😁
Fighting through it Martin 👍. Why did you go into shock?
Thanks James, I'm not entirely sure, I wasn't really with it at that point, just a memory of shaking and lots of Drs around me 👍
Jeepers....
@@movemorenowjames indeed 😱
Scary thinking about the pain you went through as I might have to have mine out If my biopsy is not good
I have been told that I wasn't a typical case following surgery & recovery, so hopefully, things will be more straightforward for you. I know lots of people that have had treatment & it's been a lot smoother for them. I seemed to be the very small % they talk about.
Thank you for all your transparency and honesty throughout the process Martin. I can't believe the set back you experienced. Have you looked into medical marijuana? Is that legal where you are? When I broke my back, ribs and wrists, it really helped with pain and sleep, just a thought.
Thanks Sage, if I started with marijuana I'd be having flashbacks to the 90's! Good idea though 👍
@@TheDeterminedRunner Lol!!! Those were some good times... wait, did we just date ourselves... damn it!
@@TrailSage ha ha, I think we did 🤣
I'll be honest I could not watch the whole thing.. I was cringing with empathetic pain. We're a similar age and I fear I may need the same thing someday too.
I think I've been a bit unlucky post op, apparently it's usually much more straightforward, even with my experience it's still much more preferable than if they hadn't caught it early. Thanks for watching Greg 👍
Bloody heck Martin... drugs stronger than morphine... thank goodness !! Get fighting fit asap buddy
Thanks Neil, thank goodness for strong drugs! On the right path now, I'll be back on the trails asap 😁
Hi mate, That was all sounding pretty positive until it wasn't!! Sounds pretty rubbish
Aye it's been different for sure, past the worst, just getting inpatient now 😬
