Soup and Jelly

Hi all,
Jenny thought she would sneak a quick trip to the UK to see her family - M & D & sis & family. But a quick trip has turned into a extended trip to a hospital in Chertsey and a nasty abdominal op! I won't go into the gory details - suffice to say intestines were involved. She's on the mend now but she gave us all a scare. After almost a week in hospital, yesterday she was finally advanced to soup and jelly - the first token solids.
The ambulance took her to hospital 12 hours before she was due to fly back to Sydney. Lucky it didn't happen over Outer Mongolia!
So the moral for all you travellers out there - expect the unexpected!
I'm sure she would love to read a few comforting words of encouragement on the Roff Report when she gets out of hospital.
Love to all
Martin, Adam and Tania

That sounds so scarey Martin. And she was such a long way away. Glad she came through so well. Love from the Sydney Roffs Jenny.

I can't remember the actual quote, Jenny, but it was something like, "That which doesn't make you shorter, makes you stronger". I bet you did this just to escape the Australian elections. Hope you recover quickly and make sure Martin keeps us up-to-date on progress. Best wishes from the Melbourne branch.

As one of the Roff travellers this year and one of the few to come back carrying a still lingering Peruvian bug we are very sympathetic to dealings with the overseas medical circuits. Jenny yours sounds very serious and we hope you are on the mend. I prescribe a relaxing stay in WA with relatives who love and care about you!!
Speedy recovery wishes from John,Jan, Kate, Zac and the Mauritian holidaying Liz.
