That's some rough stuff. I hope all goes well for her and she's feeling good soon.

Thanks again for the update, Kev. Wishing Leigh a successful surgery and speedy recovery. Hopefully she will be able to log in herself once she is feeling better.

Keeping Leigh in my prayers too, and give her a big hug from me when you see her.

And thanks for the updates and info.

Saw leigh today, just popped in on my way to a meeting and ending up staying for an hour and a half she is in good spirits and was happy about having a radio, she sends her love and has had some good news, she may not have to have open heart surgey or a bypass but some other surgery to make her arteries ok again.

It was good to natter with her, she is so full of life.

That's all good news Kevin. Surgery or not, I'm glad she is getting this taken care of.

More hugs and lots of prayers.

That's very good news and it sounds like Leigh is feeling better.

Thanks for being such a good friend to her Kev, and for sharing this with us.

Kevin...

Cathy....I remember that picture you shared here
when you were in Austrailia ...
You and Leigh were simply shineing with recovery.

Leigh ....Are you helping the other nurses with useful
tips yet? While I'm sure you could do so.....please
try to relax and be gentle with the youngsters.

Good to know you may need less rather than more.
Wishing you a speedy recovery...

Sry I am late on this. Your a wonderful person for going to visit her and letting all of us know how she is.
I dont think I know who she is. But I am sending my thoughts to her.

Hi Guys,

I have been in bed for the last 3 days with a gastric bug. Spoke to Leigh this morning and she is back at home awaiting an operation, she has medication and is hopeful the op will be soon. Will probably see her this evening at a meeting.

Maybe she will post here soon

Kevin
