Was doing Parkrun but slinky comes first....

[davelinks]

Decided not to Parkrun today, firstly my wife who some of you may know on c25k as slinkylinky had a benign brain tumour removed on Wednesday which went very well and she came out of hospital yesterday, so I'm looking after her, then the weather is tipping it down, and I don't fancy coping with mud over the park this morning. Then I'm doing a 5k virtual poppy run booked anyway for tomorrow when sun is forecast, so I think gaining a step nearer to the 50 milestone red shirt can wait another week..😊

Good for you Dave, loved ones come first!

What time are you running tomorrow? I will do my poppyrun at same time...I’m guessing 11am?

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to Millsie-J]

Maybe before that, as my nephew is volunteer warmup leader at junior Parkrun tomorrow, so looking at joining in the warm up..

[Millsie-J in reply to davelinks]

Best wishes to Slinkylinky - I am glad to hear the operation went well and I hope her recovery will be swift and full.

[davelinks Graduate10]

Thankyou, I took slinky to the clinic today to have the clips taken out of her head as written on the hospital form to be done from the 14th, which I thought a tad early at 6 days, and the nurse with a 2nd opinion decided it was too early for them to be removed, so a a new appointment was made for Monday.

I could say the treatment and recovery has moved along very swiftly and maybe a tad too swiftly at times, nothing wrong with that in a sense but healing can't be rushed. Full credit to modern medicine, surgeons, doctor's, nursing staff and the great NHS....

[HeleneCorsa Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

That's good news. You're right about healing taking time though. Even an op that goes perfectly well is still a shock to the system, physically and psychologically.

Hope all goes well on Monday.

Aww Dave, I'm so glad to hear your Slinky went through her surgery well. I haven't been here on HU much recently, but my first thought to check up on someone was you... big kiss to you nad Slinky xx
