My dear friends. Thank you for all your wonderful wishes and prayers. It makes a big difference to me but you're still not getting a mention in my will.
The medical team here are absolutely fantastic and I'm deeply touched by their professionalism and care.
As well as a general anesthetic I also had an epidural and this has blocked out all the pain.
A couple of mentions from your messages:
Good to hear from Phyllis.
I particularly liked my old school friend Jay's comment "Don't worry, only the good die young."
My spirits are high and I'm making slow but good progress. I stood for the first time today. Unfortunately Oli chose that exact moment to walk through the door. (Oli here, I should explain I witnessed his naked behind through his backless gown with white stockings pulled up to his groin. It was like a horror remake of the Mrs Robinson stocking scene in 'The Graduate'.)
Much love to you all.

Jon,
ReplyDeleteI never thought I would turn into a blogger!! There you are with numerous nurses looking after your nether regions, being served on hand and foot, flashing your backside and generally living the life of Riley whilst I'm blogging for goodness'sake! Am having to go away for the weekend to break the habit and hopefully on Monday I shall be normal (a non-blogger) and come to visit you! Just keep the private bits to yourself when I do!! Glad all's going well! Lots love, Pam (and Jan of course) xx
Having visited my dad in hospital today, I am so proud of how brave he is being! He is the best patient the nurses could hope for and I am amazed by his strength and courage. I am so lucky to have such an wonderful daddy!
ReplyDeleteHi JB,
ReplyDeleteRemember in Canada, when you left the brake on Freda's wheelchair when we left the seaplane ?? And we pushed it up the ramp and you told Freda she ought to lose weight ??
Lucky we saw Russell on the seafront and he spotted that the handbrake was on.
Yet another JB Classic !!
Get well soon, need more fun times.
Love to you, and to you Marilyn. We have opened the wine and TOASTED YOU BOTH.
Love Phil & Sandie Hall
Wonderful to find you are coming through all this bright eyed and bushy tailed! You are definitely your father's son (and Bob was always one of my favourite people): positive thinking and sense of humour and loads of love will get you through anything. John sends love too - bit jealous of your sexy full length stockings as he's still wearing his white knee sox. Love to Marilyn, Jen and Oli - we're thinking of you with much love, Velda and John. PS: Not confident this message will reach you, as this is my very first blog, but the love will anyway!
ReplyDeleteDear Jon,
ReplyDeleteI have just succeeded in breaking into your blog and what an interesting place it is! I have kept up with your progress via Pam and Jan
so have been thinking of you. I know you have
had your up and down moments but I am sure you
are well on the road back home now. You looked
so strong and fit when I saw you at the Nuffield, it's hard to believe that you have had to go through all this shit. I am sending
lots of love and light for your speedy recovery
and to Marilyn and family too. Pleased to hear
that you are being looked after so well at the
Nuffield, you deserve the very best. Love
Lesley Masters
