Surgery started late and lasted longer than expected, I don't know why it took so long but it is over now and Nathan is now in the recovery room. Not much more I can say now.
Hi Kate hope all is going well and he's back on the ward and wide awake I've also got some bits to send him, he did tell me its the hospital you work at the [xyz] but he didnt tell me which ward!!! Could you let us know when you get a moment, thanks love, I hope you and Charlie are holding up well as well!!! Lots of love Joey

I'm just home, Nathan had surgery today and is already in a much better mood, he is in loads of pain but sent a text saying "I feel like I'm listening to Depeche Mode on repeat, my head is pounding and my chest feels empty", he still has a chest drain and the surgery wound hasn't been permanently closed yet, there was a hitch during the surgery which the Consultant says he will explain to us both tomorrow, he does say it's nothing to worry about but I can't help but worry some more. Thanks for all the best wishes and the offers of sending cards, I did tell Nathan and he says just knowing people want to send cards is good enough. I think he's had too many get well soon cards in his life already he has certainly had too many hospital stays. I will ask him again tomorrow but I don't think he will give the address out he doesn't even open cards from my family when he's in hospital. I also work at the hospital and because of past problems I don't he will want to give my work address out. I will let you know what he says though.

thank you all for the best wishes.
Thank you so much for this update. If he is able to say that about Depeche Mode - then he must be in good shape... He always likes to lash them all the way... Take care. Try to get some sleep tonight.

Happy to hear that his mood has already got better My dad's surgery lasted way longer than expected too so I know that feeling very well, but I'm sure the hitch is nothing to worry about Take care of yourself, looking forward for the next update!
@kate We're all rooting for him from all over the world. & for you too. you must be in a heck of a state worrying. But don't. You know him better than us. He's a tough old so & so & with you & us behind him he'll be just super fine. I'll have the entire Depeche Mode discography posted in the morning for him. Ask him if he wants the limited edition he asked for. I can do that too
A quick update as I'm about to leave for my Mum's, the hitch was because of Nathan's blood, he has had very high blood pressure his whole life and it does sometimes cause problems, his blood is very thick, he says it's like jam for vampires. So the surgery went well, he can still hardly move as the chest drain is still attached and the surgery wound is still not permanently closed. He is definitely recovering as he managed to shout at the tele today, I think Tottenham lost and that cheered him up.
I sent a parcel to Joey yesterday, should arrive today and also one to figie in Greece. Received a parcel from Lisa thank you for that.

You are very welcome. That was in return for his generosity. Enjoy. Now Laperose and I have matching shirts. Lol Hope he is feeling better.
Well ..... I am alive, sitting up is bloody painful so this is just a fleeting ramble. Everything seems to be going as planned, I was kept awake a couple of nights by an annoying cough, that has now gone and was apparently expected. Breathing feels really strange, laughing hurts so much!! I have some "dodgy" blu rays with me, was watching "Pompeii" and the FBI Anti Piracy Warning popped up, made me laugh, a warning on a blu ray that isn't yet available to buy, not so clever these FBI dudes. Anyways, ta for all the best wishes ...
