[Return of the Rev]

lord b has asked me to post an update on his state of health since he's been very touched by the thoughtful wishes he's received all the while he's been ill.

He was admitted to st. Thomas' hospital in london (northumberland ward) last week where, on thursday he had an epically huge operation (a pelvic exenteration) which his surgeon told us is about the biggest operation that can be performed on anyone. But on the upside, it is intended to be curative and was certainly life-saving. He spent over 9 hours in theatre and the surgery went well.

He will be in hospital for up to 3 weeks and then the recovery process will take some months. They've already got him out of bed and yesterday he managed a little, assisted, stroll down the corridor. Right now he's distinctly on the woozy side but was quite capable of arguing with the providers of bedside tv (and ruinously costly phone calls) whose appallingly priced services he declined to buy. So normal service is slowly being resumed!

i believe my nephew bumped into the lord and lady up at guys in august,hope all goes well with his recovery

 

[WATFORD zero]

Get well soon

 

[Drumstick]

All the best wishes to you both. Not much fun being stuck in hospital for so long. I hope to see him back in the north soon.

 

[El Presidente]

He's got a contract S3, a Kindle HD Fire and my tiny little laptop up there with him - all allowing easy access to the internet using the free hospital wi-fi. Not surprisingly, though, given the alarming bandwidth it'd use up, the wifi services blocks iPlayer and any other TV viewing sites. Still, once he's a little more recovered he can saunter down the corridor to the day room which has a decent and free TV so that's an incentive to get him moving!

I've got a 500gb hard drive full of films, many of which use a foreign language, that he is welcome to borrow and plug into his laptop.

Send him all our love and best wishes xxx

Hope you get well soon, i had to google pelvic exenteration and it sounds pretty horrific but glad you're on the mend

People like Lord Bracknell are what make the Albion different to other football clubs - the imps are thinking of you old mate.

Tell the old bugger to pull himself together and to stop being a burden to his lovely wife.

Yep. Best of British Lord B.
