Well, I'm back home again, having had "drop bot" surgery in Glasgow's Southern General hospital, and I wish to say thank you.

The staff on ward 3 were simply the best. The surgeon, Mr Graham Sunderland, couldn't have done a better job of fixing what has been a right "bummer" for some considerable time. I was treated with compassion and met some amazing patients with very serious health issues. Yet, they often managed to make light of such matters.

Thank you dear Bags for travelling some distance to visit me...the first time I met her she visited me after hip surgery. She thoughtfully brought along a picnic basket full of goodies...different types of tea, buttery biscuits and homemade flapjacks, juice, dark chocolate and a book that I've almost finished reading. Her company lifted my spirits sky high. A beautiful card and welcome home message from Bags and Gransnet friends, has just this minute been delivered. flowers

Thank you for many kind messages. Harrigran thanks for the super cat coaster, I shall use it every day. Most appropriate! grin

Mr soop is taking good care of me. Rory gave me a right warm welcome. Tail up...purrs and much dribbling....Rory, not Mr soop! wink

I'm about to catch up with the laundry. Back later. [Sunshine]

Happy returns Soop, your theatre experience completely passed me by and not to mention that I get confused between the Soops and the Sooks and ... anyway here's a joke for you: www.gransnet.com/forums/pictures/1199234-Gransnetters

Sounds like a bit of a new lease on life that you have there.

Just back from 2 weeks holiday in Portugal, and for the last week have had a mega chest infection. So much for the holiday!!!!! Of course I missed you hospital experience Soop, hope you make a quick and good recovery. I sounds like painful stuff, hooray for your great sense of humour. Hope the sun is shining in Argyle and you can sit in the garden with your feet up, Rory on lap and Mr Soop attending to your every need. Get well soon. wine flowers brew sunshine
