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.

Nice thing to read on a Monday.
Good to hear you are on the road to recovery @jonsie and hope the rest of the journey passes quickly!!
Thanks for the update @Cleoriff.

I forgot to mention that Jonsie may be moved into the general ward today if his condition continues to improve at this rate....So really great news.

Fantastic news @Cleoriff thank you.

So sorry to hear about this. Thank you for letting us know Cleoriff. Get well soon Jonsie

His sons have told him of all the get well wishes sent his way. Must have been a real boost to his morale as the photo I received (which I wont post)  showed him attempting a thumbs up (in fact a thumbs up with both hands). That was the one thing that reassured us the guy who means so much to many of us...was on the road to recovery. Go Jonsie.

Still in the same ward as he had a little more surgery on his leg. He is awake, fully conscious and continues to make gradual improvement. His son said he was 'flirting with one of the nurses'...SO that, if nothing else, proves Jonsie is on the road to recovery. A long long way to go yet, but I update them with the good wishes from his friends and colleagues and these are really appreciated.

Steve  ... I have it 'on very good authority' that you have been 'flirting with one of the nurses' ... hmmmnnnnn ... that sounds like you're on the mend  ... you know Steve, for a bloke from t' wrong side o' t' Pennines in 'Red Rose County' you're not half bad kid  ... we're all thinking about you & wishing you a speedy recovery because we all miss you ... Keep Calm & Carry On Flirting  with love from Jane xx
