Hey Jezza
I just read your update & it's emotional stuff. I feel a bit like you as my eyes started to water!
Loving the updates & no doubt it's helpful for you to be writing your thoughts, keeping us all informed & fully supporting you throughout this time.
Reading the messages everyone has written to you is heart warming. You are a very loved man & it's great to know you have such support. I believe love is the most powerful healer & I'm sure the support you have from all of us is going to help your speedy recovery.
I looking forward to the Halloween photo update,
Love you Jezza, see you on the otherside!
Ben

Minnie Riperton - just one of the many ways you've made me smile :)

Poppz, you truly are one of the most beautiful people I have been lucky enough to have as part of my life.

I've really enjoyed this (rare) glimpse inside your head - genuine, really interesting and at times, a bit difficult to read for those of us who love you.

I'll do my best to look after Mamma this week and can't wait to come and see you on the mend XxXxX

You're one of the truest, most prosaic people I have ever known, so I know you'll walk this and come through smiling your beautiful (surgically enhanced) smile.

Much love to you, as always Jezza.

Jez,
I am truly amazed and proud about your attitude.
In your home page you write "This is me, I have always found you live up to that statement and I am sure they were attributes that attracted Fi to you.
You are fast becoming a legend and I wish you all the best next week and a speedy recovery.
Have you ever considered writing as a career? More power to your keyboard.
One love,
Dad xxxx

Hi mate

Great to read, I find it really inspiring and I wish you all the luck possible.

If we had more people like you in the world it truly would be a better place.
So glad I picked up the phone to you that day when I was at GMG.

Let me know when the celebratory party is so I can unleash those vicious dances moves again.

Speak soon man.

The photos not too bad for viewing, I think it looks like they will cut where they did last time, leaving your face to heal just as well.
Glad your smiling x x

Wow,mixed emotions reading through your blog.
Its great to read how your marching on through this also sharing your thoughts with us,on the downside when it's one of your mates dealing with it it makes it that bit more real if ya get what I mean.
If your ever after a smile just think about that journey back from skeg in the blue fiesta,flat tyre (so we thought) alarm/Calv ripping through the wires as if he'd lost a winning lottery ticket!!!
Still makes me howl to this day!!
Wishing you all the very best,and most of all a speedy recovery.....and I'm guessing down the line there's gonna be one massive party!!
Respect to you mate

Mate, eventually I needed antibiotics to get the cough out.(Airway infection) Maybe visit a doctor before the opp? Otherwise you go in ill....
Or are you not allowed to take any strong medicine before the opp?

Feel better soon mate!

Hi all, I do hope this finds you riding the wave of groove that I’m feeling right now...  I don't know why I've suddenly logged in and started typing really. I'm feeling emotional, so that's a familiar trigger, we'll run with that... So much happening in my tiny world just now, that I really...

Evening dear congregation; So, this has been somewhat of an emotional week. There have been tears, many self-pitying tears. There have been melancholy days and the HOLE IS BACK!  On Monday, I noticed a little mouthwash freshened up my nose. By Tuesday my voice had changed back to the nasally...

It has been a long time since the last Sunday Sermon, enjoy... I find myself home alone for a short while. Fi and the boys have attended a faaamily birthday event, I'm still too hanging/rough/full of self pity to endure a day of social pleasantries. I used to recover so much faster than this. 5...

What a day..! Today is the gateway to the fulfilment of my inner peace. I’m slightly mental, but I’m well happy to be driving into the sunset once more, albeit on the M4 somewhere near Newbury rather than through an opening in the mountain and over the ocean.

3 months in the hole. A rather hypocritical self imposed blogging exile… So, I guess I’ve lost a lot of my regular readers. You may be the only one left. I’ve not dropped any bloggery knowledge for exactly 3 months. During which time, more so recently than initially, I’ve discovered the...
