Special Message for David ( Yorkslass Husband )

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

So pleased to hear such good news and positivity, Sue. We're all here and rooting for you. It's amazing how sharing something can make such a difference so thanks to Jeff from me too.
 
Sue this is fabulous news.
If his recovery rate is anything to go by, the graft will just have to be a success.
Think positive, stay strong and your futures so bright, you're gonna have to wear shades!

I hope Davids recovery continues at speed.

Sue and David, typify what I love so much about the people who make up this fantastic group.

They are both honest, funny and have a real and genuine respect for everyone they meet. No need for a facade, what you see is what you get and what you get is an awesome couple.

Hope to see you both at a meet sometime soon.

Ed

Back Home

Hi everyone,

David came home on Friday. The procedures he had seem to have been successful. It's truly amazing what modern medicine can do. After 10 days he was allowed to eat and drink again. Cos of the laryngectomy we are finding new ways to communicate, writing, he's getting a clearer whisper and,when the swelling goes down an eletrolarynx, oh and a few hand gestures:lol-053:

R and R now, hopefully ready for the off next year.:camper:

I did think I might have more time once he was home, no trekking to the hospital and back, fat chance.:raofl:

That's such great news Sue. Bet you're secretly loving the opportunity to spoil him rotten! Just watch out for rogue hand gestures now that he's feeling better Shock.gif
 
Keep the good news coming, Sue.
Don't spoil him too rotten.
See you next summer.
 
Thrilled to bits for you both! Keep the news coming, we all need to be kept up to date!
R&C xx
