Guys...a small prayer and a thought for our Padi!!

Hi guys,

This Thursday our Padi goes into surgery. Without going into details (I'll leave that to Padi), all I'm asking is that we just say a small prayer and keep Padi in our thoughts.

I know it's still Tuesday for most of you guys, but I would love for our Padi to read all your good wishes before he goes under the knife.

All the best, Padi....God speed for a quick and FULL recovery.

JJ

All the best, Peter! If they're providing that bedside phone for free, you may as well make most use if it!

Thanks guys much appreciated,got to ring hospital 12pm on Thursday just to make sure they still have a bed for me typical NHS.James just re-read all the Hospital paperwork and your first telephone call is free.Then you have to buy a telephone card,plus a TV view card rates look expensive.

Yesterday I requested an question as to which 18kt bracelet is best for a DD 1970 era.
Spot within minutes Padi not only answered but also put up some pics of the bracelet in question, all this even though he is not well , in pain & to be operated tomorrow.
I dont know how many of us including myself would reply so spontenously, that too when in pain.
This shows what a great painstaking man Padi is.
I hope & pray that GOD gives him courage to go through his operation & gives him strenght to recover fast & to be amongst us very soon.

Very well said, Rusi. That's just the kinda guy Padi is....a selfless human being who cares for others and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Padi is the kind of friend that would make any person proud!!!

Cheers - JJ
