Another good day.
Our very good friends John and Rita came round for coffee this morning and it was lovely to see them. Quick phone calls to my brothers in Oz but could only get Bob. I always enjoy talking to him and we had a good laugh. Is there no respect for my condition!
Marilyn, Oli and I then went for a lunch time walk in the lovely spring sunshine and got as far as the pub. It would have been rude not to pop in so we had a leisurely drink and then home for lunch.
Marilyn's friend Elaine popped round with a beautiful cake she had made and stayed for a coffee.
We spent the afternoon reading all your wonderful messages. Lovely to hear from my Epping gang. We have all been such good friends since we were 15. Also good to hear from Jessie my favourite niece(don't tell the others).
I had to have a nap this afternoon as I had pain for the first time. I think it is probably the stress of waiting for the prognosis.
Fully recovered and out this evening to the pub with my very good hockey and now golf pals Malcolm, Chris and Peter. Lots of mickey taking and abuse but also real affection and concern. Marilyn and Oli went to the cinema. Jen is coming back home tomorrow to stay and I can't wait to see her.
I am beginning to get a bit nervous now as Tuesdays case meeting approaches.
How ghastly must it be for people like me without the support and love of family and friends. I am very lucky.

Great talking to you on the phone Jon and thanks for letting me have a little bit of glory over my recent surgery. It can't always be all about you - anyone would think that you have cancer or something! Glad you had a good day - think about you lots. Love, as always Frances and Skip xoxox
ReplyDeleteAll blessings to you Jon.

Hello Jon
ReplyDelete2nd attempt to Blog (can't find the first message sent yesterday)- apparently this is so easy no one can stuff it up!!
Can't believe you're crook. We are all thinking of you and have everything crossed. Make a swift recovery and get over here so we can have some disgusting laughs together.
Love
Martin & Jill
Room buddy
ReplyDeleteGreat evening last night, really good to see your spirits are so high and positive. You really didn't think you would get away without some stick did you?
Your friendship is very precious to us both, despite your lack of agreement with my taste in music. What's wrong with Herman's Hermits?
Good luck on Wednesday and will be in to see you as soon as we can. Have a great lunch today.
Lots of love
Malcolm and Tricia

Hi Sweetie,
ReplyDeleteI know it can't be a good day for you today what with the world dropping out of your bottom and all that. Know that we are sending you love and thinking of you at all times. Good luck tomorrow, talk to you soon,
Frances and Skip xoxoxoxox (extra kisses and hugs today)
Jon,
ReplyDeleteJust to say that we are thinking of you and really hope tomorrow goes well. As you are aware you have lots of support from your family and many friends who'll see you through this.
Love Sara, Les and Samantha
P.S. We, like Martin and Jill, had a problem with our first message.
Hi Jon,
ReplyDeleteSorry it's taken so long for me to post a comment, I've only just got to a PC (there is at least one benefit of working on a bank holiday!)
I think it's so great that you've decided to publish your experiences online... If nothing else, it has certainly increased awareness in our household: Lodge has offered to 'screen' me thoroughly every morning and every evening.
In fact it's almost time for my evening check-up, so I really should dash... He's a great friend.
We all love you so much mate, I'll be thinking of you this week, and am looking forward to seeing you very soon for carpet bowls and cold beers in the shade of the rhodedendrons.
With love as always,
Tommy x
