For anyone expecting quick help from Conor, if you read back through this thread you'll see he was about to go for surgery and expects to be away for some time.

I can report the initial op went "as well as expected" but there is more yet to be done. Knowing Conor, he will probably be trying to persuade the nursing staff to give him a room where he can get online, but please be aware that in reality, it could be days or weeks before he is able to respond.
