Hello Gillian, my best wishes go to you and your family. I was quite worried last night when I went to bed as you hadn't posted back on your threads.

Thank you all for your positive thoughts and support. Morris came up last night, and he had a drink before hand, he was tearfull and expected me to tell him off for drinking, but I cannot do that. He has to lead some sort of normal life, but what was good but sad was, despite having had a drink, and being a but merry, he had his heart spray in his pocket. He was upset, probably the drink as he is not a drinker, trying to deal with the fact he believes Stephen died to save him. Hopefully he will get his op sooner rather than later, I cannot imagine what it must be like for him.
Bless you all XX..

I'm not very good with words Gillian, but just want you to know that I'm thinking of you. Hope you're not waiting too long before Morris gets his op. Please try to stay positive.

Hello Gillian
Morris must be feeling very confused at the moment and concerned. l would have done the same as you, what good what it have done to tell him off. Can you write to the hospital or ask your gp to write and urge them to get the op done asap. You must think positively Gillian, that will help Morris to see/hear you being positive. Keep pestering the doctors.

Take care and get a good nights sleep, l'm off in a mo.

Not looking forward to the op, but at the same time, wish it was tomorrow, Morris is trying to be brave, but he must be in turmoil, wondering if he will still be with us tomorrow, this crappy silent killer is a big thorn in my side and obviously Morris's as well. He must be going through hell XX..

Been thinking about you all and Morris especially, and hope the op can be done as soon as possible. Maybe he will need some counselling to help him through, especially as he feels he lost his brother through his need to be saved. It might help a little.

You have had and still have so much to bear Gillian, I hope you will find peace and comfort in the days ahead.
