Hi Stacy & Family
Welcome to the forum nice to have you here 🤗 Great to get some positive news on your dad, As you say its been a a roller coast rider over the past 6 weeks for you all while he been in hospital.

It sounds like he making great progress, Good to hear that Roo put a smile on his face while on a video call with him this week. Hopefully he will continue to make great progress over the coming weeks and will soon be back home with you all very soon and back here on the forum as there is something missing here without him.

Best wishes from
Nigel & Sheila

Hi Stacy, welcome to the forum thanks very for setting yourself up on here to keep us informed, what a great idea! Might save Roo’s fine typing finger a little. So glad to hear of the continuing improvement in your dad’s health. He has certainly been through the mill. We are all willing him on here with his continuing journey back to good health. Pass on our best to Ken and the rest of the family.

Hey all, just had a brief chat with him, he’s still not well but making shed loads of progress and has been moved to a private room but on a general ward, he sounds quite chipper but humbled by the whole affair bless him. Seems there’s life in the old bugger yet………top news

He is, he’s quite chipper and was quite on form yesterday. I’m giving him a shout on Tuesday to see how he’s doing. I’ve sent him some funny memes to make him chuckle and cough so no doubt I’ll be getting some Yorkshire snipes when I speak to him.
He’s now able to use his phone and has been reading all the replies and posts of good wishes and was quite humbled by it all. He’s a very proud chap as you know but thanks you all for all the kind words.

I’ll give you an update on Tuesday if Stacey doesn’t bob summut up here first
