Just to let yu know.................

Sorry, if my visits to this site are a little sparse of late !

Jan went into Gatwick Park Hospital last Thursday, 7th, and was operated on in the late afternoon for a right hip replacement performed by Mr Drabu, one of the worlds top 'hip-men'.

All went well and the physio's are very pleased with the progress she is making.

No projected date yet for discharge, but hopefully Monday or Tuesday. Then my purgatory will REALLY start !

As you can imagine, I'm being a very 'buzi-boy' at the moment. At least I can keep up to date with footy administration from home when I'm here, and I might even catch this afternoons DFC match at Meadowbank this afternoon, which youngest daughter, (Lia), has promised to run me down to before heading off to Gatwick Park.

Best wishes to Jan, for a speedy recovery !

Gosh, JR. That's a biggie. I hope Jan's progress is maintained and that she will soon be home again and able to keep you and the cats in order........ Please give her my best wishes.

I hope Jan's recovery goes according to plan. My hip (13 years old last May) is about the only bit of me that works without complaint (apart from my warped sense of humour)

All good wishes to Jan.

Just an update.

Jan phoned me at 9:00 today to say that she is being discharged at 14:00 hrs. Youngest daughter and I will be off to pick her up later this afternoon.

She has made rapid progress after a dodgy first 48hrs, with fluctuating blood pressure and two bleeds which transfusion had to rectify.

My problems start as from this evening.

(I must remember to remove the 'clapper' from her little brass bell !!)

John,

Best wishes to you both and I hope Jan recovers soon.

If you adopt the Gordon Ramsey style of cooking I trust it will be in terms of food rather than language

All good wishes to Jan, & I hope your bedside manner is all polished up JR!
