Message from Mike
Hi guys, I've just logged on for the first time this evening and this pm was in my inbox.Its from Mike's daughter Amanda.I wasn't sure if she had sent it to all members but can't see any posts relating to it.Anyway here it is...
Hullo this is Amanda, Mikes daughter, he has asked me to put a post on but I have no idea what Im doing and finding your message to reply to was pure fluke, so I hope that this is ok!?
He would just like to let everyone who has wished him well know that he is ok. Surgery was more extensive than expected so keeping him in hospital until about Thursday to allow some healing and reduce infection risks before letting him home.
Thank you all for the well wishes you have sent him, Im sure that as soon as home he will be posting away to you all.

Really great news! Thanks for posting it on for all who are thinking of him. Look forward to reading his comments again soon.
Thank you Fishy - it's good to know he's on the mend now - and if the surgery was more extensive than expected hopefully that should mean that they've got it all, so I think that's positive.
If you're able to, please pass on our warmest ((hugs)) and positive thoughts and say we're looking forward to being able to chat with him and benefit from his knowledge and experience
Please thank Amanda for her message.
