Progress

What a great time to be convalescing, what with the 5th Test and the World Athletic Championships! What a treat today with 15 wickets and bowling Australia out in less than a day. Great medicine.

The dressing change today went OK and the infection seems to be settling down on its own which is good. We will see what tomorrow brings but hopefully it will continue to recede and the hole can then begin to heal itself.

We went on from the hospital to do a bit of shopping and it was great to be out and about with the wind in my hair ....... and elsewhere.

A good weekend ahead with visitors planned for both days. Marilyn is out in London tonight with friends for a meal and theatre. It is great she can now put her shoulders down. She has coped magnificently and has been of enormous support. I am a lucky man. On my admission form I had to put down the relationship of my next of kin. I put down wife/lover/friend.

  1. Hiya Beales,
    Firstly Happy Belated Birthday Jon, not the most of enjoyable ones I expect but all means to an end (so to speak!)

    Just got back from three weeks in Italy and found that we've missed so much!!!!
    Great to hear that the reversal has taken place so soon, that's definitely a good sign and means you can go on your jollys without Winnie. Hope the infection has settled down now and await pictures of the first poo. Did you ever receive the whoopee cushion by the way? If so hope it was like music to your ears.

    Thinking about you always,
    Much love
    Staceys xxxx

  3. Hi Jon. Good news of your continuing progress. Well done. Haven't got anything to say, but want to keep the old blog hits going to get you to 5,000. I suspect that Twitter has taken over and the poor old blog is the poor relation now. Lots of love to all, from the Simmos xxxx
