I’ve taken a fair amount of time away from the forum but recently felt the itch to return.
This news has completely flawed me. As someone has eloquently put, we are all ‘virtual’ friends who have never had the chance to meet in person. But we’ve chatted over many fun topics over the years. Reading your post I cried. Dave I’m so terribly sorry to hear your news. Not sure what else to say but this feels pretty apt. From a Scouser to a Yorkshireman… You’ll Never Walk Alone Dave !! When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of a storm There's a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain For your dreams be tossed and blown Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone. |

Dave, I've had my own close encounter with CA and I somewhat understand your position. My hand on your shoulder buddy, try to find solace whenever and whereever you can.

It seems strange and quite dysfunctional, but the majority of my life is spent in a bed now. It is very off-putting at how "quickly" can become the norm. A big bonus was that I was nearly able to complete a shower totally unaided, not quite but, as daft as it may seem, a proud moment.

Good morning Dave,
That shower must have been lovely! Did you manage to get any info' on Saturdays game? 4 goals and 3 penalties, unfortunately Bamford missed his and the Magpies scored their two. Very exciting game though. Sam seems to have got your boys 'fired up'. Frank's Chelsea don't appear to have a clue at the mo'...a draw, against Forest, at The Bridge!! I wonder what Pochettino's reign will bring? We're all thinking of you Dave, and hope Carole and your family are getting all the support they need. I'm sure I speak for us all on here, if there is anything we can do to help, in any way...just say the word. |

I am still in hospital, I say to hear things because I think things are lost in time, a little thing seems important and can be forgotten in a moment.
A lady/girl was taken part the ward today on a trolley, her ear splitting screams of pain where heart renching, she was begging for releif. 20 seconds was all I heard but this poor poor lady was in so much pain. I will, but never want to hear it again, it may be me. Please, please check all your symptoms, there are no heroes here, the pain always wins. I have been here 2 weeks, I am not strong enough for chemo but I will go to another hospital for rehab and walk to the oncologists office when I am able and show him I am ready, you just watch me. |

Dave - I have no doubt that you will walk into the oncologists office very soon, shoulders squared, eyes steely, just like the proper British soldier that you are.
I'm still praying everyday for you buddy. |

May be home today, still very weak but making progress, hopefully will be ready for the next step. 6am and a cheerful nurse wakes me for a blood pressure test, a soft voice and I am soon drifting into a nicer carefree world. Was she an Angel? Right at that very moment she was to me. She quietly looked down and asked, "cup of tea?" What beautiful words, not needed but so, so nice. The tea was glorious. Such a small gesture but just at that time, just at that very moment, I was the most special person in that hospital. In the world even.

I don't know which hospital you are in, but being a Leeds fan I can assume LGI.
Although I don't think that changes the fact that the healthcare professionals in the UK are second to none. The care my family and I have received from them has always been fantastic and it sounds like they are doing their best for you. Even down to the tea. |

I open this thread every morning and am thrilled/relieved when I see you posting Dave. You cannot imagine what kind of inspiration you are to me and to TRF. You really are setting an example to us all.

I'm not prone to 'over emoting' mate but, reading your post this morning, made me feel, a bit strange. I called my wife in and told her to read what you've said about this morning. She held my hand and gently squeezed...no words were needed...we couldn't even look at each other.
It's going to be warms and sunny today, get home and enjoy a nice cuppa in that lovely garden of yours. She quietly looked down and asked, "cup of tea?" What beautiful words... Poetry Dave,.....poetry. |

Truthfully fellas, this has been the best day ever, besides a cathater slip, no spillage though. I slept all through the night pain free, I am awake in bed having some toast in my own bed, just pain free, it's the first time I can say that fov5 months, oh my goodness, it's glorious. It is just the best feeling ever.

Excellent news
The sun is coming out in Yorkshire, everything is starting to flower and with west ham having an eye on Europe and big Sam getting something out of these players, it might be a good weekend for Leeds |

That is fabulous news Dave! So glad to hear that you were released from the hospital and overjoyed that were able to sleep free of pain.
