Good news from Ellie

...John has been operated on and is in recovery.
No alarm bells are ringing.
Much love to Ellie and all the very very best to John

I spoke to John this morning, and then again just
recently. He seems cheery, although tired of course.
He told me the surgeon said we can see him tomorrow
afternoon. John says ICU is great, cuz the TV is free,
unlike in the rest of the hospital where it costs
something like a euro per day. He says Hi to all you
well wishers.
