Thank you. It was a big op done in less than perfect circumstances so recovery is gonna take time.

She's had to learn to walk again and struggles to do anything that needs core strength but she's 100 times better than she was two weeks ago and 1000 times better than a month ago

I love reading your posts and seeing the photos of the history of Stoke and surrounding area.

Not Wood and Son related, but I did trace my great, great grandfather and his family to Mintons cottages in
Hartshill.

Still standing and still occupied.

Thank mate, she finally made it home, but it’s gonna be a tough few weeks adjusting to the changes and rebuilding her strength.

Thanks Roachy, she came home Thursday evening. It’s like having a new born in the house, she’s up every few hours in the night, can hardly walk and she tires easily, although I’ve never seen anyone with an appetite like she has now, which I guess is a product of having no colon.

Me too, she's been there for weeks.

Today I learnt something...

Our doctors keep sending my wife messages about her free flu jab despite the notes on her record indicating she is in hospital 40 miles away.

Thanks Mick.

Ten bucks for a bagel! Is there a tariff on that?

That's about eight quid in real money. I'd want it wrapped in gold leaf

I'm pretty sure that was actually still a barracks for the TA last time I was in Newcastle

But I think it is important to acknowledge that the ideology of Trump2.0 is fascism and the 'fit' here is remarkable.

It is, as it were, 'early stage' fascism - the camps aren't death camps (yet), the masked goons aren't terrorizing citizens (yet), but that's where it will go if not challenged.

Just make sure you turn up last

Those who want to send ‘em home, also want shot of the NHS in favour of private healthcare.

It serves their pockets to cripple the NHS.
