From The Man Himself - Mark II

This update comes from Mark himself... this time it was not dictated.  He actually keyed it in himself... what a star!

me again! thanks again for all the messages, cards and visits, very much appreciated! 

...had a pretty chocca weekend of visitors which was great, though i was pretty tired yesterday and ended up having a snooze towards the end of the England match, it was pretty dull mind! good result and all that but going to make for some boring games! 

....in other news general feedback on the 3 week beard has been positive, not sure jenna is convinced but allowing her to tame my monobrow with the tweezers placated her somewhat, also worrying comparisons to my dads beard of yesteryear may convince me to shave!

....other than that have been spending lots of time in bed watching football,  sounds good i know but today other activities included having the staples removed from my surgical scar, getting on the tilt table ( which is getting me ready for getting out of bed and in to a chair, which Will be great) i managed 40 degrees which is a big improvement on my first attempt when i got to 10, 


on the flipside gravity took its toll and my trousers need a wash, revisiting my formative years! a little too much information maybe?!! 

right my hands tired, thanks again, love Mark

  6. Hi Mark

    Great to hear from you, and I must say I think the beard is actually ok!

    Hope it wasn’t too painful getting the staples removed; I’ve got goose bumps just thinking about it!

    It’s really good to hear you will hopefully be in a chair so soon, I’m guessing that will happen in the next few of days if you keep progressing as you are doing - you may then be able to escape the tweezers!

    Take care, keep positive and don’t forget we are all very proud of you and Jenna.

    Hope to see you at the weekend (if the schedule allows) so just let me know if you want a big mac or fries, etc…!

    Lots of love
    Suzanne xx

  7. Hi Mark glad to see you are maintaining a positive spirit good effort on the table not far to go now and you've done really well. As a small token gesture we took Al out for a few beers last week purely to get him bollocked for staying in bed all day the following - a plan which seemingly worked. With regards the movements doth South don't worry - I do that without the requirement for a badass stunt. Just thought I'd leave a quick comment seeing as though you have made the effort to type yourself!

    All our love and best wishes

    Danny, Shelley and Henry xxx

    You are doing great! 50 degrees today! And I agree with the introductory paragraph, you are a star!

  11. Hi Mark, I've only just seen about the accident so have just had a little read of your blogs. What fantastic progress you are making, well done! Looking forward to reading more & wishing you a very Swift (bum bum!) recovery. Take care mate, Bev McDermott (ex GT) xxxx

  12. Mark, great blog mate and yet more moves in the right direction with the typing, tilting table and the possibility of getting into a chair sooner rather than later ( me thinks security will have to be on full alert when this happens as i can see you heading down the A19 as soon you get the chance !! ) Seriously great progress fella
    As for the beard and tache, defo keep it. When I was young my tache wasnt dark enough so I put some boot polish on to bring it out, went down the boozer, took a swig of beer and without thinking wiped away the froth from my tache. Needless to say my mates didn't say anything so spent the whole night with a black nike style smudge ( should have patented it ) all over me face !!
    Speak to you soon and with you all the way

    Hi Mark - sorry it's taken a while for me to leave my first message but I find these blog things a bit scary at my age - a big thanks to Betty for setting this up. Well done for all your progress so far, as everyone will agree we couldn't expect anything less from you. With regard to the beard I would have to vote to keep it, but only if you can keep the smoulding eye look with it. A young George Clooney if ever I saw one! Keep up the good work, I'll be reading about you every day and it's your positive vibe that makes this blog so fantastic! Take care - XXX.

  18. Howdy! This blog post couldn't be written much better! Looking through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He continually kept preaching about this. I most certainly will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he'll have a great read.
    I appreciate you for sharing!
