A bit nervous about it,but I need it to make Lucy proud of me and for myself to honour my beautiful Lucy :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: who I believe saved my life after 2 heart attacks both at home Thursday 26th May 2022
And the paramedics, who I am truly grateful to John And Matt God Bless You Both :blush::handshake:

If anyone is in the area and would like to visit me after a couple of days in ICU from here,I would love to meet you,even if for a short time,I don’t have anyone and I’d appreciate it.

Always thinking about you all, and sending much love and hugs to you all

Hi Martin
So pleased for you and think of this as a second chance that Lucy made possible for you. She wanted you to live on and you will be just fine.
When you are home again do look after yourself, eat the correct sort of food and get some exercise and please don’t dread the weekends. I always arrange for something to do. A walk in the countryside or a trip out with my dogs on the bus. (I do have a car).
I am too far away to visit but my thoughts and prayers are with you.
God bless

Hi Martin
Just look at all those little pink hearts below your message! We are all thinking of you. You aren’t alone. Don’t want to sound like an old nag but Pat is right, when you get back home take care of yourself. Be kind to yourself. Best wishes xxx

Hi Martin, I haven’t been on here for a while, as when I read the posts, I get upset.

It’s 8 months since I lost my husband Martin and tomorrow would have been our 47th wedding anniversary, so when I saw your name and the date of your surgery, I felt I had to wish you well. I’m not having a good day, as I’m dwelling on my first anniversary without Mart, normally we went away for our anniversary, I’ll be glad when the day has passed.

I’m not too far away from you, near Newton Abbot but haven’t been to Plymouth in 40 years.

I sincerely hope everything goes well and will be thinking of you.
All my best Budge :hugs:

Thinking of you today Martin.
Not long to go now until you are home, although Lucy will be with you wherever you are.
I’m too far away to visit but, like us all, I’ll be with you in thought.
Sending you lots of love and big hugs for a speedy recovery

Hi Martin,

Just to let you know I’m thinking of you today. Lucy will be with you all the way. The way you’ve taken this as an opportunity to live again (as best as you can) has been so inspirational and I believe like you that Lucy was looking out for you.

Let us know how you are when you feel up to it. Thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery. You’ll be home again soon enough.

Love Nic xxx

Hi Martin

Hope all goes well.

I am sure you will be well looked after.

Just a gentle word of advice, be prepared to take things very slowly for some time and don’t get disheartened if you easily feel exhausted afterwards, it’s all part of allowing your body time to rest so that in the longer term you will benefit.

God bless and very best wishes.

Beth
