What A Difference A Day Made

Hellooooooo All
I am on cloud nine ten and bloomin eleven as when I got to the hospital tonight Gordon was sitting in his chair talking to the patient in the next bed.
He gave me a big grin when he saw me and i was grinning too ( not a pretty site with my big mouth all those teeth haha ).
He had eaten his breakfast, lunch and evening meal was back to being Gordon.
He let me give him a wet shave and i gently gave his hair a brush and i must admit he really did scrub up well and looked even more like himself.
We stayed for three hours until he said he felt tired and so i helped him get comfy on his bed and left him to relax.
The surgeons reckon it was a spontanious aneurysm which i think means it just shot up like a firework on its own rather than being part of anything more sinister.
He has been told with this kind that yes he could have another one but also he may not so instead of worrying about it to go on living the life he still has and enjoy living.
And thats exactly what we both intend to do.
Its going to be quite a while before he is one hundred per cent but thats ok hes in good hands.
Our friend Tim who takes me to the hospital every night have just had a chinese take away with a glass of wine to celebrate today.
Im not getting too excited as i know he could be on a downer again tomorrow but i couldnt help having a little celebration.
Once again thank you all for your kind wishes and i dont think it will be long before Gordon sees them and thank you to those people who have sent cards to the shop for us, i will be putting these up at home for when he comes home as he cant have cards or flowers in his ward.
I have also learnt more new things at the shop today on the buisiness side so i think he will be shocked when he sees what i can do now.
Speak to you all tomorrow.
Love and Smiles Rob xxxxx

  1. Hi Rob & Gordon
    just caught up on the last feww days blogs and wanted to say congratulations to you both - so pleased for you both. Rob you will have to learn to use that foiling machine now to do your own invitations (lol). So good to read of the improvements each day and I hope it won't be long before Gordon (& Harry) are home where they belong. Nice to see you learning more about your own business too Rob. You'll be serving at the NEC before you know it.

    Love to you both Patsy May.

  6. Oh I'm so happy Gordon had a good day and that it made you happy. I have only ever shopped with you once but I'll never forget Gordon helping me out with the problem of paypal. I talked to him about it and sorted it. Great service and with a smile I dare say.
    So wish him continued recovery and I hope he can come home soon
