Jane, thank you very much for taking the time to keep us updated on Jock Scot. I am glad all is progressing well, but painfully. As a medical professional I know how these recoveries can be. Tell Jock we're rooting for him and please, you keep in touch as well. Regards.........John

All this is wonderful news.

I have tried to read back but I am unable to assess what happened to Jock. Can someone bring those of us up to date on the cause for this results and injury of Jock??

Hello everyone.

Jane here. I have been asked by "Jock's" family to explain, best I can, what happened to Himself.

"Jock" was watching a tree being felled in the park, from a safe(!) distance of about 80 yards. The tree was a very large Horse Chestnut weighing about 25/30 tons that had seen better days and was being cut down by the estate foresters.

The tree hitting the ground with considerable force,as they do, somehow caused a stone, about twice the size of a golf ball, to "squirt" out of the ground at great velocity and hit "Jock" on the head. A freak accident and absolutely no one's fault. Fortunately, the foresters were quick witted and being ex military, had a good knowledge of what to do in the circumstances and there is no doubt whatsoever that they saved "Jock's" life.

Having been airlifted to hospital "Jock" had an emergency operation to remove a blood clot on the brain and the rest you know.

"Jock" is having a real battle at the moment and "Team Jock UK", of which you are ALL members of "Team Jock International" by the way, are keeping his flag flying. Thank you so much for the messages and pictures, they really do help.

J.

Jane - it is reassuring to get your upates and I thank you for keeping us informed. Please pass my personal wishes for a continuing recovery. I have said a misheberah (Jewish prayer for healing) for Jock.
