Exercises

Thanks for all your comments. I will pass them on.

Quentin's drain is now out and he has taken a walk up the corridor with the physiotherapist. He has exercises to do to start getting mobility back around his chest, arms and lungs. Of course he gets me to do them too, ever confident he will beat me, even after major surgery.

He still has local anaesthetic going into him, permanently. They will take that out tomorrow and I guess it will be a whole lot more painful without it. But I am equally sure Quent will be determined to try some stairs - the next step, if you'll excuse the pun.

We are still hoping to get out on Sunday and we have a film lined up for this afternoon, when Quentin wakes up. Otherwise, life is very calm and the time flies in spite of doing nothing most of the time.

I have given up on the hotel /Costa coffee wifi facilities (I can't get them to work and my help desk is in hospital). Instead, I am now a proud member of Cheadle library, which does just as well.

We are so glad it has gone OK and are impressed with the start of the exercise regime. Hope the recovery continues good and fast.
(And Finn wants to say hi to Oakley.)

Lots of love - Rach and Rich and boys.

Hi, it's Sunday evening so hopefully that means you're back at home.
Good luck with keeping your end up on the excercise front Hels.

Dear Quent
Glad the operation seems to have gone well, and hope you are recovering OK - keep up that singing, whatever rude comments Helen may make!
With love

A romantic Valentine's day then? And has it been Oakley's birthday or am I mixed up?

Take care - and remember singing is good for the soul - although sometimes best limited to when you are in the car on your own,
