This is a message from Clive who saw Jerry Thursday evening:
Hello everyone - I visited Jerry late this afternoon (Thursday) soon after he had come round from his operation. He looks great - good colour; very animated and feeling good.He said that his message was "he's feeling over the moon - he's survived the operation" which he never thought he would do!
I was also there when the surgeon came round. His view was that everything was going according to plan and the operation had gone well. They had not removed the spleen which Jerry was worried about. The surgeon's comment to Jerry was that everything was fine and he should just relax (no comment!!).
He is currently in the high dependency unit in St James's (Leeds) but despite it's name the ward is great - modern, very spacious and comfortable, NO TELEVISONS etc. He has lots of wires coming out of him and he is so animated the one on his finger keeps falling off resulting in the monitor seeming to announce his death! You can tell he seems remarkably well despite what the monitor says!
He looks well and is in great spirits. All he wanted was my strawberry lip balm as his were dry!
Best wishes to all of you
Clive

And remind him that he has completed step 1 in his new and better life and should be very proud of his accomplishment!!! His stomach has served him well all these yearse but now it is time for a new way ( a better way) of life!!!! Lots of love to you both!

Clive, Thanks much for the informative and very encouraging post. I am thrilled that the procedure went apparently so well and look forward to talking with Jerry personally as soon as possible. Dennis
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Jerry is so well so quickly and enjoying the drugs and vibrating bed. (sounds good). As the 13th follower of the blog (our lucky number) please tell Jerry we wish everything good for him and will see him soon.
