The biggest news of the day is that Laurie is out of intensive care !! He would welcome visitors and is in Room 222 in St Andrews Hospital, Spring Hill.
The surgeon (Dr Walker) said that Laurie's palsy on the left side of his face and the resulting speech difficulty will only be temporary. These issues are side effects of the aggressive surgery aimed at providing the best long term outcome. Laurie is expecting to have both radio therapy and chemo therapy in about six weeks as a further positive strategy for the future.
As you can see from the photo, Laurie is quite mobile and the physio is happy with his movements after making him walk up and down the room.
He had a number of visitors today and is glad of the company as life in hospital is not what he is used to after leading such an active lifestyle.
Go Laurie, Go!!!
ReplyDeleteAfter such invasive surgery you're looking good. No, you can't have your bike to do skids up and down the corridors. Just behave! Love to you and Cheryl. gk
