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.

So,ya fella completely got rid of your bush?
Is nothing sacred these days...

Ah but.....the jasmine he razed to the ground is having it's revenge. It started to grow shoots from the stump he left and is now blending in nicely with the new bushes I planted when I thought all was lost....

Even more homesick now :smileysad:

Strangely enough I am still in my pyjamas but it didn't stop me going outside in the glorious sunshine and 25°C heat 😉😂😂

Sorry @jonsie ... I didn't mean to make you more homesick 

If I can't get a lift part-way to you via a mutual friend of ours ... then I'll get as near as I can to you by train then bus / taxi ... it'll be the only chance I'll ever get to meet you ... this is important to me  you can give me a tour of the hospital gardens ... will you please let me know when I can make visiting arrangements ?

The Wonder Of Jonsie ... I believe @Cleoriff said that of you 

You're A Hero Of Mine   

[jonsie]

I was only joking about being more homesick Jane 😀

I will have to get back to you Jane about visiting because next week I'm supposed to go to Hope Hospital (Salford Royal) for an operation on my leg but I'm not sure if that's a definite or just a maybe.

I've no idea how long I'll be there but I'm supposed to come back to North Manchester Hospital for recovery and recuperation. Again I don't know when or if it's definite.

I will certainly get back to you and Alvin as soon as I know for certain and where I will be

I like the name of the hospital in Salford ... = ... Hope Hospital ... when / where you go have the op ... hope all goes well for you when the time comes

When you are in recovery / recuperation afterwards, back at North Manchester hospital, maybe a good idea to come & see you then ?

Thank you for putting my mind at ease ... I was uncomfortable about making you more homesick

A quick update

@jonsieeventually went to theatre this afternoon for assessment and treatment of his badly fractured leg.

No news as yet, but I expect he will be very groggy post op...and probably has no access to his phone!

Hope to hear something tomorrow... so wishing him all the luck in the world

Thanks @Cleoriff for the update. Glad to hear @jonsie finally had the op and I hope all went well.
