Greetings from Skip

Rob Barron · 11-01-2008, 23:16

As many will know, Skip returned home on 28th Dec after all the treatment for his brain tumour and we have been looking to see a real improvement, especially in his speech and clarity of thinking.

I am pleased to say the most recent email received today shows a cnsiderable improvement, the text being clear and fully lucid. He said his speech is now at about 95% normality which is great. His thinking is also now at about 70%, a very real and welcome improvement from before Christmas.

He has been enjoying a good time with his family and is taking a really positive outlook on the future. I for one can't wait for him to be back on here being sarcastic about my photos <g>

He asked me to say Hi to everyone on Pixalo and I have already replied sending greetings from you all as I know that is what you'd want me to do.

Cheers,
Rob

That is great news. Let's hope that he continues to improve and feels fit enough to come back to us soon.

Thanks for the update Rob

I'm sure I speak for us all when I say that we appreciate you passing on our greetings to Skip

What would be even better is if Skip could see our personal messages to him, himself ... what's the chance of Skip logging on for a quick chat, d'you think?

Meantime, wishing Skip all the best for 2008. I have thought of you often, Skip (hope you do get to read this) and I too miss your dry crit's - they make me look tame
