Greatnan...nice warm huggles from drop-bot-that-was, in sunny Kintyre
What are you reading at the moment?
Is there a toiletry you can no longer buy and miss?

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. 
Thank you for many kind messages. Harrigran thanks for the super cat coaster, I shall use it every day. Most appropriate! 
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! 
I'm about to catch up with the laundry. Back later. [Sunshine]
littlegran Having done the complete round of Glasgow hospitals, Stobhill is one of the best. For all we know, we may have met.

Lovely to hear you are back home (and see you back among us) where you belong. R&R is what you need now and you are in the best place for that.
soop

You lot are far better than any pick-me-up. Thanks for all your kind messages. They mean a lot to me.
jings... glass is right, you do have a good heart and you make me
Am disappearing for a wee while as I'm feeling slightly queasy. I shall return.
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. 
Sending you some sunshine soop even though it is the middle of winter we have had lots of it lately, lots of cold chilly nights too, but I won't send you any of them. I hope you are feeling much better.
Dear soop! Glad you are back where you belong. Rest!!
soop You're a very good influence on here, you make us all soppy Welcome back xx
jingle you are a right softee really .
bags thank you for looking after soop
Some for her too
That Bags isn't so bad really is she?
Glad you are home soop and that that is over and done with.
Pleased you are home soop - make haste slowly, as they say. Antibiotics can make you feel very tired, so those, along with the anesthetic for the 'bot op' mean you will need to rest well. Feet up, forget laundry and all other unnecessary activity, just concentrate on getting back to 100%!
Take it easy Soop, that laundry, and everything else, will wait. So pleased that you are home and in fine fettle xx
Took letter from hospital along to the doc and a wee sample of wee. Appears that I've a UTI. Have come home with antibiotics. Got a thick head at the mo' and a slight temperature. Going to sit with feet up and relax. Back with you lot tomorrow.
