Christmas Eve Pressie.....Freedom!!! Yippee!!

Hello, hello , hello! I'm still in Hampstead under the shadow of the hospital but I've been set free!! I'm so happy, really, really happy. It's funny how these things mean more in different circumstances, Anyway, I'll update the photos this afternoon so you won;t get too bored!

Seems like the swelling went down enough for them to zap me again which they did. No problem there, We're just waiting for my drug basket to go home with but it seems like the whole hospital is being discharged today so we have to wait our turn. I do have to pay massive respect and love to my mum and dad who have been coming up and down to the hospital tirelessly to look after me and bring fresh pyjamas! Thanks guys I'll do my best to repay you in love when I can.

I had another though for blog games. Guess the hospital dinner from the photo...coming this evening.

Everything is fine at our end. It couldn't be better for the moment. Thank you so much for your blog comments they really give ALL OF US strength, happiness and laughs. If you don't know what to write then a joke or poem or just your name is brilliant.

Finally it's 14.00 in the afternoon and I believe I've already had my best bit of the day. My old friend Graham came round to visit and brought me a pressie. He gave me a compass to make sure I don't get lost again like i did on friday. That made me cry.

Love to you all and happy christmas

love

Ali

Hey Ali,

Good to hear you sounding chirpier. Have you thought of an alter-ego to go with that mask yet?

My best point of the day was making it back home to Gustard Wood to suprise my family for Christmas - first time home in 9 years!! Big smiles all round.

Cross Keys or Brocket Arms tonight - will say Hi to Toby for you.

I hope you have a great christmas with your family. Eat, eat and be merry...

Love and best wishes,

Hi Ali. So pleased to hear you are home for Xmas. Enjoy the break from the Buzzymachine and then return refreshed for it to do the "buzziness". Still no Jellyfish on the playlist I've noticed!
Love to you all and keep blogging

Heh Ali

I spoke to mum today who said you were unwell, so i thought I'd drop you a line to give my support.

Sounds like your being looked after fella and getting massive support from family and friends.

Take it easy and I hope you're back up on those slopes soon (even if you are skiing and not boarding.... ;-)

Have a great Chrimbo

Cheers Bruce
