Having to go back into theatre is something you could have done without I'm sure. However getting photos is brilliant idea~ do we get to see any??

Annie Wan said...

glad to see you're back though, xx00000xx

Robin said...

That knee will take some gettign used to - all that clicking in and out before you get going must be a PITA.

But it is better than what you had, right?

I'm so glad you posted! I was getting worried about you. Doesn't sound like it went all that well, but at least you are home and on your way to recovery, right??

So, you are going to post some photos, right? I love watching that stuff on TV!

Anonymous said...

A lot of us have been patiently waiting for some word, and finally we got it this morning. I am glad you are home and I hope for a quick recovery for you. I just send you a couple of letters, one is 6 pages long and is something to read for a laugh, something you might need. It's a comparison betwwen your country and ours. Anyway, good thoughts are streaming your way and it was very good to hear from you. The Stickman

Akelamalu said...

Oh honey I'm so glad to see you're home! I've been thinking about you every day since you went in and sending love and Reiki to you. So glad the card found you, I posted it the day you went into hospital. It was a sign, definitely. You look after yourself you hear. xxxx

Welcome home and welcome back to the bloging world.

I hope all is going well now that they have set you loose.

Eat well, rest lots and take it slow and easy. Drink lots of good tea...will ya! Read books, listen to music and sit out in the sun. Don't forget to have lots of chocolate and other sweets and I think the beetroot will heal you.

Check your e-mail and let me know if I can pass your address on to two of your very good fans.

Hugs & Kisses & Squeezes and all that mushy stuff from me to you.

Hello gorgeous!

Jeez ... what a lot I had to catch up on with my return to the land of blogs!

Luv, hugs and best wishes for a very speedy recovery xxXxx

Lisa said...

I'm so happy you are back home in your own little bed! If you see that like a zillion people have been visiting your blog, it's just me, checking to see if you were alright!!

You take it easy! And now I will go eat something chocolaty! It won't help you much, but I will feel better for it and I know that makes you happy!! LOL

Lora said...

Glad your back home....take care of you

Anonymous said...

Sorry it didn't go as well as we all hoped, but you're alive and I just know you'll soon be well. I missed reading your blog while you were in the hospital. D. J.

Go Figure said...

Glad you got sprung! Probably had to drag you out of there. I know how much you enjoyed the place, am I right? Best.

Lisa said...

Marmy! You crack me up! I should send you a really long apron, with some sexy legs and knees appliqued on, except, you would probably trip and hurt yourself!! LOL

buffalodick said...

Marmy- My sister had this done, and it didn't go perfectly either. However, with time- it got great for her, and she recovered to a better than before level! I know this will be the same case for you! If I could hold your hand, you would feel the power I send you- a pinky on the screen will have to do..:) Be well, get well!

Katrina said...

Thank you for the update; I'm so happy to hear that you are home at last. I pray your recovery goes smoothly and no more "fiddling" is required. :)

JBelle said...

Hello Pretty Girl!

How's the new knee? You with all those drugs and me, all the way over here. damn.

Word Tosser said...

Well, kid... take good care of yourself... don't over do..or you will have to redo...
And we are all waiting when you are up and around, to hear this story.. it ought to be a whopper...
hugs from all of us on the other side of the ocean.. and those on your side too... So glad you are home..

susan said...

So glad to hear you again. You have a package on the way from Texas. They wouldn't ship it to you, so I had it shipped to me, and I will take it down to the post office tomorrow.

You have been in my thoughts everyday. I wish things had gone better. I am sorry you are in pain. Let's hope for the best outcome, though. It may take a bit longer, but it is still possible.

Much much love,
Susan

Kati said...

YIKES!!! I'm sorry to hear that you had to go back into surgery. I hope things heal quickly from here on out, and tell those boys that your friend in Alaska says they need to PAMPER YOU and do laundry and dishes and make the meals while you recover. *grin*

Oh Toasty... I do hope you heal quickly. You're such a lively lady that I cannot imagine sitting around feeling poorly is an activity you particularly relish.

Welcome back!

Totty Teabag said...

Nice to meet you Marmite. My son-in-law calls me Marmita, derived from All Snot and Marmite. (The pair of us suffer from rhinitis.) He's Snot of course....

I wish you a quick and infection free recovery, and a speedy return to your version of normality.

Jackie said...

marmitetoasty: I'm so glad you're back!! I was so surprised (and pleased) that you came for a visit and said 'hello'. Hurry and get well...Will check on you later...

Anonymous said...

Mel -

Make those boys of yours do all the work around the house for your recovery - thats what they're there for!

Love ya my friend -

Sorry to hear that things are not brilliant but hope you are now over the worst. Try & keep resting & don't do too much too soon.
Looking forward to a complete recovery.

Hey, my fave Brit Blog-lady...I had surgery on one finger this weel...which has incapacitated my right hand for a while. The only good to come out of this is that I'm LEFT-handed. I know about intense leg/knee pain from severe gout attacks in the past, so I can sympathize with ya! But even now, Mizz Marmee, your spirit shines thru...hang in there, hon!

Toriz said...

Welcome home :)

Sorry to hear things didn't go as planned, but I'm sure you'll be your usual strong-willed self and be feeling better soon. *hugs*

PinkAcorn said...

Oh no, I've been off the blogs for almost two weeks...and come come back to find your in a poorly state. I hope you don't over do it Ms "I can do it all". Take it easy!!! I know, I know, easier said than done.

Unknown said...

I certainly hope those staples are fix right now. There's no need having them redone over and over like a deb trying on new shoes.

My prayers, of course, continue. Heal well and soon, my dear Ms. Toasty.

Dumdad said...

Blimey, you're a tough cookie. I've just finished reading your last post (well, I had three hours to kill) about your footballing days. I loved that goal - but so sorry that you injured yourself. I love watching football but never played (I went to a rugby school). For my sins, I support Leeds (I've suffered, I tell you!)

Anyway, I wish you a swift recovery (as I do Leeds to the Premiership).

Mari Meehan said...

Hang in there, kiddo. This too shall pass!

Pamela said...

I wish I could make you some chicken soup.

Come on. You know you want to!

Charles Gramlich said...

Hope you are feeling richly soon.

Anonymous said...

Melody: I did get your card today, thanks. You sounded a little down and out but that was two weeks ago, so I hope you are much better these days. Like I said, I sent a couple of things, one a letter and one thing about England and the U.S. I haven't heard if you ever got the stick or not, I sure hope so as it's been quite a long time now. I haven't heard from Mr. Green either, so I am a bit concerned. I have been making some amazing pieces of late and maybe one of these days I will send you a true art piece, one to talk about for years to come. I sure wish you could have picked out your own, then I would know that it fits you perfectly and would be of great use to you now. I hope you are feeling better and we all were sure pulling for you there for awhile. You must be loved it seems. Take good care of yourself, The Stickman

Christy Woolum said...

I am sorry you had to return to the theater... but I know you will make a good recovery. You have so much support and love pouring in from both sides of the pond... now rest while you can. Thanks for the comment on my poem. You always make my day.

Toriz said...

LOL @ the temperature / knickers comment. Too funny!

Seriously though, I hope you're feeling better soon. I'm sure it's no fun feeling that bad :(

And, yeah, I'm calling you stubborn. But sometimes - especially times like this when you need to be getting yourself better - being stubborn is a good thing. lol!

Jackie said...

Just dropping by to see how things are going! Hope you're recuperating nicely...

goatman said...

Just another blobber here come to visit. Hope your feeling not so poorly now. You have a lot of readers 'cause your friendly I guess.
Thanks for visiting the old house. I have ducks up now. Usta have some Khaki Campbells, which were domesticated in your fair country.
Coyote got em a few winters ago. But we push on with life.

WithinWithout said...

Where's the pix?

Glad you survived, Toasty. Hope things is as good as they can be, considering.

Sue O. (aka Joannie, SS) said...

I found your blog on the blog of a friend-I'm so sorry you're laid up, but I couldn't help thinking, you surely have a new career in journalism and radio! All you have to do is publish your blog and tell your stories. They are just fantastic! You're a natural, just as great a story-teller as an athlete! You'd do better than the calendar girls. Hoping for quick recovery-my mom-in-law had a knee replaced and we can't keep track of her! take care from over the pond, though not too far...(East Coast)

My gawd woman... have you NO IDEA how much you are loved????

I think you don't. That leaves me breathless. You are the sun on an otherwise cloudy day... in so many people's lives.

I think I will declare a day for you.

I think April 25 from here on after is Marmite Toasty Day!

Yes.
It is.

Kiss kiss... heal... don't make me spend my whole life savings for Sue and I to come take care of you.

Annie Wan said...

hope those big lads of yours are looking out for you too

Toriz said...

I'm sorry to hear things haven't gone as you'd hoped. Things like that take time, and you can't always be in control of situations like this (no matter how much you want to be). Keep your chin up and try and just look forward to when this is all over with. *hugs*

KAYLEE said...

glad you are at least okay :)

KAYLEE said...

OMG are you okay??? that last update worried me :(

thinkinkmesa said...

Headed over here from Sylph*Nascency to wish you well. Hope the fiddling they did will do the trick and you are on your way to recovery!

LadyStyx said...

Following the crumbs in from Tori's blog as she said you were home now. Sorry to hear that things arent going as well as you'd like, just know that you're not the only one that the body tends to be stubborn with (have had my own share of stubborn body syndrome...lately infact). Well I hope you get to feeling better soon....just take it nice and slow and dont push the body faster than it wants to go at first. *hands you a vase of pretty spring flowers*

~:*:*:Sparrow:*:*:~ said...

Marmy - I'm really, really, really worried about you... is this infection MRSA? Are you going to be hospitalized again?... crap, perhaps you already are. :o(

This infection is serious... I am sending healing vibes and I hope you are alright.

You are loved.

AuntieM said...

MT, I'm so glad you're back! The blogosphere just hasn't been the same without you! Sorry you had a rough time of it but it sounds like you're on the mend now. Keep doing that physical therapy no matter how much you hate it and you'll be back in top form before too long.

hi I just came over from Mei Del's blog, I now remember that I found you sometime last year and seem to remember that you were in this area and were busy chasing an escaped rabbit trying to return it to its owner. That was soooo funny don't know why I never came back must have forgotten to bookmark you. Anyway I am back just scanned your lsat few posts........that snow realy was a surprise as we never get it when everyone else does.

My mum had her knee op at Haslar last year it is a very good hospital if you can get there. I also see you worked for MOD for 10 yrs Im guessing at Dryad as I see you have photos of 'Suvik' my 8yrs were at Sultan.

Anyway I hope you feel better soon it can be hard but rewarding work being a single mum of 4

Robin said...

Just sending you good thoughts....saying prayers, lighting candles, killing.....oh, nevermind.

Be better, Mel. No one deserves it more than you....

Robin said...

BTW, we have now named a dog toy (chicken) and a Hydrangea bloom, Brian, in honor of your postie. Well, my husband has. It's a long story and I fear that within 12 months time, anything of emotional value in our house will have that name....the computer, the remote, the Jeep, the ice pops in the freezer...

How you DO affect people.....

I see from my blog that you are in fine form these days! Or maybe the meds wore off?

Anyway, not to worry, there were no stinkin veggie bags in the giveaway after all. I can't sew fast enough to get ahead.

But, I am thinkin of makin reusable tea bags out of a load of lace thong knickers I found out back of the local whorehouse. Lot's of string you know. You do drink tea, don't you??

Glad you liked the card. Kelly (the hubby) chose it. He thought the cute picture on the front might cheer you up a bit.

I can understand your worries but I'm sure whatever happens you'll make the best of it. And, even if your leg doesn't heal properly like you hope it will... Well... At least you'll know you tried everything to fix it. Besides, you've got another leg... Maybe you can learn to hop? LOL!

Seriously though, I hope you're feeling a bit better at least, and that you're up and about chasing those nippers you mind, and doing all the things you do for your lads that are hard now and probably aren't getting done while you're not well. LOL!

LOL! He's Canadian and apparently lots of people over there get called things like that. It's his Dad's fault according to his Mam. LOL!

Anyway, I know it'll be a while before you're fully on the mend and that, but you've gotta think possitive and look forward to when that day comes.
