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.

One main thing Steve, I have absolutely NO worries about the care you are getting now. You may miss Pattaya but you need the UK NHS to restore your health. Long and painful but you are in the very best place now mate. The fact you are getting fed up is an indication of your strong will and impatience to get better.
Of course the other benefit is... you have many people who are able to visit and cheer you up

I would be first through the door Steve but various reasons keep me close to home at the moment. Certainly when I am 'back up and running' I would love to come and see you. (When I am able to slip straght back into Sister Harrison mode) ...
Flowers for @jonsie
Steve, if you let me know which hospital & ward you are in I should like to send you some real flowers

Thank you for the virtual flowers @Anonymous but please save your money. Just knowing I have friends who care is all that matters

If my health was better would come up to visit. Love Manchester and it's been ages since I've been.
I know you are down and fed up but as @Cleoriff has said you are in the best place to get better and fully recover. You will see improvement but it will take time. Easy for me to say I know but it's true. We are all here rooting for you so chin up mate. I'd say think happy thoughts but I know how difficult that can be. So all I can do is send my best wishes and love
