A long time since you posted here Ron . Even though I have never met you I have been through times of despair in hospital and out of hospital etc and have an idea of how you may be feeling . If it helps to post on here then please keep us updated as we are here listening . I am going to send you my mobile phone number by DM so if you ever fancy a chat or just a text message it would be a pleasure .
Try to keep positive even though I know it can be hard :thumbsup:

Good to hear from you again Ron, but sad to see things are getting you down.

You really do need to keep your pecker up though. You never know there may be a nurse who can help with that. :lol:

Try to stay positive, and all the best. :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear that progress is still slow after so many set backs. Keep motivated, it will make a difference to your capacity for recovery.
I hope you’ve been able to spend some time with Mrs Ronk and support each other.

I was thinking about you only yesterday, Ron, as it has been a while.
I can't help with any encouragement; just thinking of you and hope things improve shortly. :) .
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Things aren’t too good here at the moment .
I’m not walking yet and still in my hospital bed awaiting investigation now from the cardio team on Thursday.
