To all at FOTMD
I am home, after an exciting early morning ambulance ride nearly three weeks ago to the ccu in our local hospital, where, after due deliberation, and much prodding and poking, it was decided that my old ticker needed a couple of modifications and a bit of a tune-up. Not the best way to avoid doing the Christmas Shopping, but I am assured that I shall be as good as new now, I hope that someone has told my wife, LOL.
My grand daughter has tried to keep me informed of happenings on this site, and I was surprised and gratified to hear of the comments made by my friends, thank you, I will be in touch as some as I get back in the swing, just feel a bit drained as of now.
Its good to be back tho'

Hi John,
I've heard that a little malt whisky is very good for thinning the blood after such a trauma - for purely medicinal purposes of course!
I hope you are back on your feet soon!!!

Good to see you're back with MOT secured for yet another year. For the Americans among you it's a kind of licence to practice - in this case Mountaindulcimer Occupational Therapy.
Glad to hearyou're feeling better after the Op - it's been quiet in the UK without you!

I've just been to see John Henry in hospital this afternoon. He's very cheerful - but rather bored! His operation which was due last week was delayed because of equipment failure, and has been rescheduled for tomorrow. He was tickled pink by the interest and concern of his friends on this site, and would love to hear from them.

We, like all John's friends and admirers, wish him well and trust he will be up and out of hospital before Christmas.
If not, there's an ever-present risk of a mass dulcimer-relatedvisit - which could put back recovery by months...
Let's all play for him as well, Rod.
