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.

Any news @jonsie? I ask as it's Thursday and knowing the limitations of weekend transfers  between NHS hospitals (due to shortage of staff)....

The Professor popped into to see me on his daily rounds with his students for all of 5 seconds. 

Quote... "Still waiting for the bed at Salford so nothing to add, ok?".... then he was gone! 

Thanks for the update Prof

Well I've finally been moved....

Not to Salford but to an open ward full of whining old men, coughing and farting every 10 minutes. Deep joy!!

C'mon Salford, pull your finger out....

Sorry to hear you've been moved to such an awful ward. It's not your sort of place is it. Hopefully you'll be off to Salford tomorrow or the next day and finally have your leg sorted. Thinking of you as always

Well that's bloody annoying Steve. Just keep asking them and maybe get Jeff to have a word. Psychogically..a move of this type doesn't make you feel very positive. I know there will be reasons (possibly moving the Manchester victims in to other more relevant areas) but if you don't ask you wont get reassurance...

My garden is looking well. I had a chance to get out and do a little work in it today. The sun was gorgeous. @jonsie you may be pleased to hear that those shrubs you recommended 18 months ago 'Weigela Florida' are doing very well. About 4ft tall and spreading well..

For those of you who didn't hear the story...About 2 years ago before I went to Spain I asked my other half  to 'trim back my jasmine bush as it was overhanging'.

I returned to find the whole bush had been razed to the ground taking with it the trellis fence!! The air in Cleo's household was more than blue for at least two weeks. The new bushes were recommended by Steve and after my husband bought and fitted a new trellis fence, they were planted and are doing well. He is no longer allowed to 'chop back any other bush or shrub in the garden'....
