Sir John, my absolute thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
You've spoken so wonderfully of your family here that I know you will be looked after as well as any human can.
I may be many miles away, but if there's anything at all we could do, please let us know.

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat.
Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl.
Go lonraí an ghrian go te ar d'aghaidh.
Go dtite an bháisteach go mín ar do pháirceanna.
Agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís,
Go gcoinní Dia i mbos A láimhe thú.

If us lot can help in any way, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Reading this John makes me so sad and puts into perspective me feeling a little sorry for myself because I have Covid, as others have said you have a strong family unit that will be there for you and your wife, you are a tough cookie as well, so i`m sure you will be strong, all the very best. Brett

Thank you so much guys, you have no idea how much it helps.

To give you an idea as to what family can do. Two daughters have been taking both me and her indoors to hospital appointments. Son in law took me today. Eldest son is driving down from Nottingham to take me to my hospital appointment in Ascot on Wednesday. Don't know what we'd do without them.

Nothing I can add to what's been said, John. You're both in our thoughts and kind wishes.

I had my own endoscopy a few weeks back. You've reminded me to make an appointment to check on the results. I've been having them for years and have got a little blase. This is the kick up the arse I needed.

As its been mentioned already I think everybody has posted what I'd say anyways, look after yourself John (and of course your good lady), super to hear that your family is rallying around for you.
