Well everyone this is it, I'm now on my way back to Istanbul.
00:07
It's been an emotional week and a half.
00:12
I don't know how I've managed or coped.
00:16
But it's been an amazing experience.
00:20
The hospital here have been amazing, the staff are amazing.
00:23
I can't fault them. I can't fault anything that they've done.
00:27
They've literally saved my life twice in a matter of a month and a half.
00:33
And I'll never forget my time here in Izmir, it's been amazing.
00:39
I wish I could have got out more but due to my surgery I couldn't.
00:43
So I had to basically wait and try and have one time out but I couldn't manage it.
00:50
I want to thank my wife, my kids, my family, my supporters, my followers, everyone for being there for me when I needed them the most.
01:00
Thank you and I'll see you all very very soon.
