Welcome back, Jackie.
Sorry to hear about the complications, but it sounds like
you are in fighting spirit regardless.
All the best for the New Year.
George.

Hi Everyone
Apologies for cross-posting as I appreciate several of you
are on both the Access UK and VI-Gen lists.
However, I want to wish you all a very happy and healthy
2008, and to thank those who have been so supportive in
offering their good wishes. They have meant so much to us
in getting me through what I can only describe as two weeks
of complete and utter hell.
I got home today after an incredibly complex operation on my
back. In short, I lost a lot of blood and, worse still,
Cerebral Spinal Fluid. The latter caused my blood pressure
to nose-dive that led to severe headache and loss of hearing
in my left ear, both of which I still have.
But you can't keep an old dog down, and though I'm under
strict orders to be good and rest, I'm back! I have to say
though that the care I received was fantastic and of the
highest order, and access to amenities and assistance from
staff was phenomenal at all times. I even used my mobile
all the time without anyone complaining - just as well when
there were no Patientline facilities on our ward. I even
had my own room with en-suite bathroom. I couldn't have had
better treatment even if I'd won the Lottery and paid for it
that way (smile). And Ian was looked after by everyone as
well as I was. They gave him his dinner, and assisted him
to and from the ward when he arrived and left, it was
brilliant.
Finally, did anyone receive anything techie from Santa?
Apologies if you've done this one to death already. Just
curious (smile).
Jackie
