25 July – Fairford
If the last 2 months have been quiet July has been even more so. All travel plans came to a halt when Gerry was admitted to the Great Western Hospital in Swindon with a recurrence of the acute abdominal pains of a year ago. This time they found a problem and major surgery followed to resection Gerry’s small bowel. Released from hospital after 11 days and the loss of 14 lbs in weight, Gerry is on the slow road to recovery. We await the results of biopsies etc to determine the underlying problem. Annie has played a blinder looking after Gerry when she is herself still recovering from knee surgery.
Gerry was building a summerhouse just before going into hospital. Our very kind neighbours have completed fitting the doors and windows to make it weatherproof. Neighbours and friends have been super and Annie and Gerry are very grateful for their love and support.
