Hi this is Wendy,
Russ can’t type because he’s shivering too much as he has a temperature. Consequently he is being deprived of his blankets so he’s shivering. The day after surgery is arguably the worst day as the anaesthetic has worn off and he’s in a lot of pain. His op was almost 7 hours and I imagine all that drilling and screwing will have taken quite a toll on him. He perked up slightly this morning but is not feeling great this afternoon and they’re currently investigating whether an infection is brewing.
At least the surgery is now out of the way and Russ is really grateful for all of his lovely messages and to Pia and Cress for visiting. He may be slow to reply to messages as he’s not feeling great but he will get around to it.
X Wendy

so hoping Russ is in less pain and that the possible infection turned out not to be one
I was thinking of him yesterday and will you send him my love. Such an inspiring person. Love Margaret x x x
Chin up, lovely. Well done for getting through the op!
Stay strong Russ, I am in awe of all the turmoil you have endured, you’re one tough guy.
