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.

Mouth clamps being taken off now. The problem is breathing.

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

So the intubation and respiratory support have been removed too. Just feels like I've swallowed the rough end of a pineapple. 

Never ever let any one try to devalue the common ice cube, right now they are way above a smart phone for my enjoyment needs!

I hear you....

[Cleoriff]

Get a bowl of ice chippings @jonsie. Much better for your poor throat. Easier to swallow and so damn good to help with swelling and pain........

[jonsie]

This breathing independently takes some getting used too.... 55
