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.

Thank you @Anonymous though I'm a bit down today. They tried to get me to stand up today and move from a walking frame to a wheel chair. Just no strength in my emaciated arms and leg to support my body. So... watch the footy and try again tomorrow.

Sending strength!

@jonsie you've come so far - be positive it will get better one day at a time. Only wish I could pass some strength through my phone to you - if I could I would.

you put me to shame @jonsie ... rest assured, we are all sending you our very best wishes ... you are an admirable man ... shall be thinking of you tomorrow, as always ... you & your loved ones are in my night-time prayers

@jonsie. They seem to be in a bit of a rush to get you walking. It took them ages to sit you out and really you need to get used to that. ...probably with a regime of of gentle muscle toning exercises....then when you are stronger you can take some baby steps. Take care mate. xxxx
