Hi Jo,

So glad to see you back and even more pleased that you continue to retain your humour and remain upbeat.  As Jules says, you are positively amazing.  Hope your recovery continues well and look forward to reading more of your posts.  Hope x

Good morning Jo,

So glad to see your post and that you are back home. I hope you had a good night and have the pain under control.

I see your sense of humour hasn't been dissected out of you. !!!!

Fancy offering you braised liver, anyone would think you are short of it.

Dogs are wonderfully supportive pets and learn very quickly whats needed and whats not.

Well hope you get lots of rest and recover well.

hugs

Hi Jo,

As promised I thought I would do a role swap and stalk you for a while this weekend.

How are you?  (appologies - I bet you are sick of being asked that question.)

I truly hope you are doing o.k. and finding a way to continue the fight against this cowardly disease.  You did come to mind again a week ago when, during a few days break in Stratford we went to a Safari Park which is something I have always wanted to do.  Of course there were Meerkats and I have taken some, if I do say so myself, decent pictures of them and other wildlife.  I think there may have been something wrong with them though as none of them seemed to want to follow me and stalk me as I wandered around the enclosures

Anyway I seem to have dropped straight into "ramble" mode so will just make this message a quick "HELLO!" and send you a big - huge - massive hug! 

Please take good care Jo.

Hi Garf,

Thank you, firstly for resurrecting this thread as I now realise I didn't respond to all the lovely messages from everyone - forgive me folks! Thank you for all your lovely posts! Am I going mad or did I start a new thread after the liver op? I have no record of it in my 'thread history' - worrying that I can't remember!

And secondly, thanks for stalking me on two threads this weekend!  

I am feeling great thank you for asking. Enjoying the summer holidays before heading back to school in September. It's amazing to think that it's nearly a year since my first op! By coincidence, my next appointment with a consultant is on the anniversary of the op - but this one is to find out what's happening in my lung and what the plan is for this!

I had a chuckle when you said I'd come to mind when you'd been to a safari park recently! Without getting to the end of your sentence, for some reason I assumed you were going to make some reference about monkeys! What does that tell you about how I see myself?   Thankfully, it was the Meerkats that brought me to mind!

Well, it would seem I'm going into rambling mode and grammar and spelling seem to be compromised too (this is a late night for me!)

So take care and I'll continue to think of you and look out for your posts,

Sending you Big hugs, Jo xx

Good morning Jo,

So glad you feeling o.k. right now but I can't believe the time since your last op.  Years seem to be like wagon wheels --  they are not as big as they used to be!

At the safari park there were no monkeys as they decided to remove them quite some time ago due to the damage they were doing to people's cars. I have no doubt that if I had seen any there are any number of people who would have come to my mind, most of them from work.

Hope you slept well after your late night.

Best wishes as always.

Garf. xx

Morning Jo

Glad to see your 'old' thread 'alive and well'  and pleased to read that you doing good.  Bet the 'puppy' is growing up and I too was amazed at your 'year' anniversary.  Definitely a case of as I get older the days seems shorter (except the hard ones) though I am still revelling in the fact that being 'old' means I get to travel for free around London - one day will definitely make the most of this!!  Take care and enjoy the rest of the school holidays (I have my eldest grandson for a sleepover one night next week so am in 'planning mode' though apparently I am making toad in the hole for dinner and will have 'gingerbread men' in the tin!!!!!!!!).

Garf - have pm'd you so hope you have time to sit down!!
