Anyone heard from Jock156?
Well it seems jock156 hasn't been on the forum since 8th Jan.
Given how things were going for him, I'm hoping he's ok and wondering if anyone may have a way of contacting him to check?
I've left him a PM in the meantime.

Just a quick update on Jock as I hadn't heard from him for a while.
Jingle has kept in touch though, and he just sent me this:
"Yea I spoke to him quite regularly and spoke to his daughter last week (his missus and daughter have been taking out the Z to keep it ticking over). He’s had the transplant and was doing ok, had a little set back so went back into intensive care but is doing ok again last I heard. Don’t think he has access to social media for obvs reasons so his daughter is signing in to his account to keep people updated. Fingers crossed he’s on the mend and goes home to recover soon!"
I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing him well. I've asked Jamie (Jingle) to pass on our best wishes.
Hopefully Jock will be back in his Z before too long.

I'm glad to hear he is recovering, and wish him all the best.
We've never met, but I sort of feel like I know him as he bought a set of CSL Reps from me!

*UPDATE TIME*
Well it’s that time!!!! Hope everyone out there is safe and well.
Me? I’m still in hospital (Addenbrooke’s) with a view to getting home soon. I’ve been in 2 local hospitals 99% of this year. So here goes............
1. My liver transplant was 100% successful on 27th January and still is it’s just the associated gubbins that surrounds it. The liver arrived on the 26th January. . My wife and all the transplant team have said that I’m a very lucky guy to see the other side. I was in quite a bad way when I was admitted. Really I don’t remember January at all.
2. Because of my condition I slept all through February in an induced coma sort of thing as my body had been put under a bit of stress which led me to “pegging out” 3 times at various times. I don’t remember a thing about the op or February.
3. They woke me up beginning of March where I didn’t even know myself looking in a mirror. Didn’t recognise my wife or kids on FaceTime calls. No real pain as I was morphined up to the hilt and beginning the journey of coming off it. I was mad as a box of frogs at this stage but still with it if you know what I mean. I was pleading with the Drs to get me back to the hospital in Norwich where my family is to help in my recovery. I hadn’t seen them since mid January. They agreed and I was back in Norwich by the End of March.
4. April was just test after test after test. I’ve had biopsies every sort of scan you could imagine and a bone marrow scan at the base of my spine which just takes pain to a whole new level and feck knows how many blood tests, we’ll over a this year. I’ve still got tubes in my nose/ back of the throat etc to help feed me as I went down to 8 1/2St from 15 1/2St .
5. I should have been discharged last Friday afternoon and on the final scan of this whole episode they discovered a couple of viruses, one in my pancreas and one in my spleen. So I’m now feckin diabetic and back in Addenbrooke’s. Just need to sort my other virus then hopefully home in about 2 weeks .
Sorry for dragging all this out but that’s the condensed version.
Thank you for all your best wishes and concerns

jock156!
Good to hear from you mate.
Very sad to hear everything you've been through, but pleased you've appeared on the other side.
We've had his little thing called Covid while you've been away.
Hope the recovery continues well and look forward to seeing you before too long.
Best wishes,
Martin
