A belated Happy New Year to you all. I knew prior to going into hospital that I'd be out of commission for a wee while. Quite how long was/is something I'll have to judge on a day by day basis. Anyhoo, despite a couple of setbacks I'm now finally back ensonsed at Medd Towers. In between receiving visitors bearing hard boiled eggs and nuts, I've also been penning a thank you letter to the hospital. In the last 30 days or so a number of very special NHS workers (they know who they are) between them, it's no exaggeration to say, saved my life. And for that I know I shall never be able to thank them. Not fully.
Anyway, how are you all doing? How was your Christmas and New Year? Good, bad or indifferent I'm sure it was well doucumented.

That's enough exertion for one day. I've no idea how much energy I'll have to write anything meaningful at this time, but I will be reading your blogs and may even leave the odd comment. It's good to be back. J x
