PHEW!!!!

Well the day finally came and Richard had his operation for prostate cancer yesterday and we have been told that all went well, so now we are on the (rather long) road to recovery. I saw him last night and while I was there, he had a cup of tea and a sandwich which must be a good sign. It was a 3 hour operation, longer than I thought it would be so he needs to do a bit of sleeping, which he has always been rather good at, to let his body mend. Various bags are hanging off him which he has to drag along with him wherever he goes but he has got used to that recently because our beautiful twin girl grandchildren wrap themselves around our ankles and we have to walk with them hanging on. Very good for the leg muscles!!

Not sure I can write any more at the moment, my head is spinning, but thank you to everyone who has called, emailed or texted with best wishes, thoughts and prayers, they are much appreciated.

Take care and talk again soon.

I'm sure you and Richard are most relieved now that the surgery is over. That's a lot of worry and it has been protracted with the wait. So glad everything has turned out well. Still in our thoughts and prayers. Sharlene

Good tidings indeed Hazel!

You both have been in my thoughts. Hope you could feel that way over there!

Tell Richard I send him all my best.

And take some for you too.

Just a quick note to see how things are faring.

How is Richard doing?

How are you doing?

If you find a moment - leave a comment here or over on mine - only if.

Thinking of you both.
