Get Well Soon Jonsie :)

[Cleoriff]

Some of you will know that our Jonsie/Steve  (one of the longest serving members of this forum and friend to many) .....was involved in a serious car accident in Thailand on Monday 20th February. He suffered head, chest and leg injuries and was being nursed on a ventilator

Due to the instability of his condition and the fact we weren't sure of the prognosis. I didn't post openly.. even though I had 'written' permission from the family.

Instead I contacted a lot of people via private message and other routes. It was agreed by myself and O2 management that I could post when Jonsie's condition started to improve.

Thankfully that day has arrived.

Steve has two sons who travelled to Thailand to be with their dad this weekend. I have received messages (and a picture) showing that he is now off the ventilator, sitting up in bed and managing Jonsie type conversations with his lads. (In between sleeping a lot which will be due to the pain relief he is receiving)

So great news.

If anyone wants to add good wishes please do so on this thread. (Even if you have sent them to me privately before) I will get them to Steve

As a nurse, I firmly believe in medicine and science. Due to the recovery Steve has made since his sons arrival at his bedside ...I also believe in the power of love.  

Continue getting well Steve.

Woke up this morning in theatre with all manner of machines and a doctor telling me I have DVT in my good(?) leg.... Delightful shade of stocking though!

I'm off to bed now for a bit @jonsie. Reading what you are going through and seeing you still managing to keep your wonderful sense of humour - I have to say you are amazing. Puts my petty problems into perspective I can tell you. Night night jonsie.

Just keep calm and let it happen slowly with shallow breaths at first..As it becomes less painful you can start breathing more deeply..
