Thanks for that Phil.
I read him all the messages last night and he was really chuffed by all the good wishes.
It's like collective care and concern coming through the ether.
 
All the best to you both...! Keep fighting it Dave and I wish you a speedy recovery!
Make sure you look after yourself too Sue I know how difficult it is. Xxxx
 
Quick update, The op is on. Phoned him turned 8 am and they arrived to take him to theatre.
 
Hope all goes well and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Thinking of you.

morning sue, well its good that the op is still going ahead and not been cancelled plus going to theatre an hour or so ahead of time to which you thought.

have you managed to get a parking space for the van.....im sure under the circumstances you will be able to park up for the night....car park probably almost empty thru the night......take care you are both in our thoughts.....xxxx
 
Another update.

Been to see him tonight and as I expected he was in the twilight zone. Pipes and wires everywhere and machines bleeping. The nurse said that given what he'd been through he was doing ok. He did open his eyes but I doubt he'll remember that we were there.
The nurse said they hope to have him out of bed on Thursday to lessen the chance of getting a chest infection.

Thanks for all your support.
 
thats good news sue, the fact that the op is overwith....david will be more with it tomorrow hopefully......keep positive......god bless. trixiexxx
 
Let's hope that you both can move forward from now and David makes a quick and successful recovery.

Our thought are with you.
 
Try to stay strong Sue, there will be times when it won't be easy, but you will have to be his 'rock'.
Glad the op appears to have gone well, massive hugs and healing vibes from us two.
Rog and Chris. xx

Another update.

Morning Phil and all my WC friends,

I havn't seen him today yet, but yesterday, though he was a bit more awake he was very tired. I think it's going to take a while for the anaesthetic to get out of his system and he's on a morphine pump.
The plan is to get him out of bed today but I can't see that happening. Appart from anything else he has a ton of spaghetti attached to him.
The surgeon said the op went as planned but it's the outcome that's important now, and I guess it will be sometime before we know about that.
He managed to write down what he wanted us to know but he managed to fill an A4 sheet of paper with 4 words.
His recovery is down to time now, and not picking up any infections.
If everything goes according to plan he will be home in about two weeks.
I'll keep you posted.
 
Even though we're physically miles away, we're parked beside you in our hearts.
Won't be long before we're having good times together again.

One week on.

A week has passed since David's op and the rate he's recovering is amazing.
He no longer has any drips, drains or monitors attached to him. The only thing he has now is a feeding tube. They plan to do a test on Friday to basically check whether the graft in his throat has healed enough to enable him to start eating again, or as I put it, to see if he's waterproof yet. Apparently it's 50/50, but cos I can see to the tube feeding they may let him out anyway. I'll be honest, I'm sitting here like a dog with two tails. So far we have been so lucky, it must be all the good wishes you sent our way.

Someone else I have to thank is JEFFMOSSY for starting this thread. I probably wouldn't have said anything, but I'm glad he did cos your messages were a real help.

Thank you all. Sue and David. Xxx
