Six weeks ago Dave (aka Gatsby) had a fall and it has been discovered that he broke his hip. He is undergoing surgery today so please add your good wishes and I will print this off and enclose with a card that I am sending to him.

Get well soon Dave, we miss you.

Edited to say that FT forum rules go out of the window with this one - post images if you like but PLEASE avoid copyrighted images.

Get well soon indeed , dear boy. It won't be the same around here. All my good wishes for a speedy recovery.

This is Hazel, she would send her love if she could.

This is Gnawra and she is sending her love too

And this is me sending a rose and her love



I would 'talk' some more but I cannot - I'm too focused on praying...

Polly and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery. All the best.

All the best, Gatsby. Get well soon!

Please Get Well Soon.

Be Good and try not to hit on all of the Nurses.

Will be anxiously awaiting your return.

Sending you Hugs(gently) and Love (heaps)

Bonnie xx

Wishing you the best, Gats. Hope your recovery is short, and relatively pain free!

Hope it all goes well, Dave! Your presence will surely be missed.

Sorry to hear about your op, hope it all goes well and you make a speedy recovery.

Oh no! Hope the surgery helps. In the meantime, please let us all be your "crutch". It's really okay to lean on folks sometimes - best wishes!

I'll echo the others and wish you a speedy recovery too, Dave.

A speedy recovery to a very special member of the forums - you take care Gats, and hope to see you posting again soon! xx

Get well soon Gats! Here's to a speedy recovery!

We must have had falls at almost the same time! I slipped and fell on stone steps at the local swimming pool, falling on my back and was taken to hospital. Fortunately I didn't damage my spine; very painful but just a cracked rib, now fully recovered.
Your injury was worse, but will I'm sure heal in time, so best wishes for a full recovery

Hope you're back to full fitness soon Gats.

That's good they found out- maybe it was why you couldn't move not long ago. Hopefully either way you'll be a lot more mobile when it's fixed up. Look forward to seeing you back.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

All the best, Gatsby, and I hope everything goes well.

Adding best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Best wished for a speedy and complete recovery.

Rest well and best wishes for a speedy recovery Gatsby oxoxo

Tezza and her cows from Western Australia wish you a speedy recovery.
