I am totally stunned and overwhelmed.

Well over over 100 get well messages. I am afraid that I will have too make a BIG collective thank you.

I am also stunnd by the treatment I have received by the UHS despite being grossly understaffed. From death's door with sats as low as 86 and a breathing volume of just 250 ml.

I was told I will probably be discharged today, nothing short of miraculous. Many IV infusions and injections but no real choice but to accept them with grace and so obviously required Even managed a much needed shower this morning but there was no extractor very steamy and ended up needing assistance to dry my hair, my first time ever and had to swallow my pride.

Of course I have accepted multiple examinations by trainee consultants, as it is so important that they get real world experience. Thank you all once again.

Great news that you will be going home,but,you must rest up and not be your usual busy self until you are feeling well enough.

You now realise how much everybody on HU thinks the world of you and how much we've missed you,even for a few days!

Great news to start the day off!💞

Take it easy

Strewth 2greys I must be losing my grip. I completely missed your post followed by the hundred and more replies wishing you well. I assumed your absence was due to your sailing holiday, what is happening about that? So glad that the Grim Reaper lost his grip on you at the critical time and hope that you are soon home and comfortable again. 👍😁

Supposed to be goin on Saturday . But if recovery continues at this rate, then we will go with a modification that I will only be a passenger down below and maybe navigate. There is a heater below. No beer though will be a downer but the scrumptions food will still be there. Michael can skipper as an experienced sailor. A case of wait and see for a few days. If the worse happens there is a very good coastguard service.

I'm sure you will be bombarded with "don't do it's", but as we both know, the best treatment for recovery is doing what you like best. 👍😁

2"G's worry not about sats in the middle eighties,they are the norm for some of us at the lower end of the lung capacity scale and if they were deaths door i should forever be walking around with a sickle on my back.However our trust friend O2 helps bring them up again.

The important thing is those nasty bugs have been attacked with a vengeance by some thankfully very efficient medicines and equally efficient Nhs staff but you know yourself you have to be vigilante for some time to come lest the nasties return,take care and take it easy for a while. :) x

Thats fantastic news,I wished you a speedy recovery and it came to pass :-) I was in hospital for 9 days with my pneumonia during which I certainly could not have tolerated a shower in the incredible heat with the lack of ventolation.

So, you are on the mend and sparkley clean too...well done.

You don't need to be told this as i'm sure you already know but do take it easy,don't over do things as it will take some time to get back to your old self again xx

They away I se it is that it just as easy to recover in warm cabin as at home. Plus better food.

Crikey, though, 2greys! I’m really surprised that you’ve got this far so quickly. You must be very fit. I can see your point about the warm cabin, but wrap up warm, scarf n all, for the trips to the pub, for the grub. We don’t want to lose you, though as my granny used to say, ‘A bit of what you fancy does you good!’

Very difficult to be just a passenger. I do hope you manage it but remember the waterproofs . Keep warm and dry and the fresh air will do you good.

It's really good to know you're doing better. That's an amazing recovery. Your diet and exercise really seem to be paying off. I hope you'll be well enough to go on your sailing holiday, a not entirely altruistic wish on my part, as I'm really looking forward to hearing about your adventures. Keep warm and have a wonderful time ⛵
