This is a photograph taken by Jackie soon after I returned from surgery yesterday;
and here is one I produced of my new slippers requested by my good friend, Quercus. I can’t fit into the left one at the moment.
I’m a bit off my food at the moment, so I settled for orange juice, a ham sandwich and yoghurt for tea, and dispensed with dinner.
… I note you also dispensed with your usual glass of wine too, Derrick. Good luck with your recovery progress.
Many thanks, Roland.
Thank you for posting Derrick. Enjoy your recuperation xoxo
Many thanks, Pauline XX
Best wishes for an easy and speedy recovery–
Thanks very much, Donnalee
Take care, Derrick. May your recovery be speedy!
Many thanks, Bob
God bless I hope you get better soon
Many thanks, Cinnamon
Enjoy your rest, Derrick…you need time to heal. Nice slippers!
Thanks a lot, Jill
Take it easy Derrick … new slippers and all ?
Many thanks, Val
Best wishes for a speedy recovery my friend!
Thank you very much, Sofia
Thank you for letting us know you are all right! Get better quickly!
Thanks very much, Gizzy
I hope your recovery goes well for you, … One slipper fits ok… You’re looking a little pale Derrick, I think you needed to touch-up you photo, your beards looking a “Whiter Shade Of Pale”

Wow – that’s a version I never heard! Awesome.
Yes the full orchestre sound is wonderful.
Nice one, Ivor. Many thanks
Get well my friend.
That is a wonderful version–and what a beautiful location, too!
Get well soon my dear friend.
Many thanks, Laleh

Hope you feel better soon.
Thank a lot Cindy. I have confidence 🙂
Get well soon, Derrick.
Many thanks, Byung
Speedy recovery!! ?
Best wishes for good recovery, Derrick.
Many thanks, Frank
I love that you’re sassy enough to photograph your slippers for Quercus in your recovery bed. Excellent.
🙂 Many thanks, Jodie
: )
There you are! 😀 … may your painkillers not wear off until you are ready for them to. 😀
Thanks a lot, Widders. That would be nice
You left foot looks at peace with its knee while the slipper waits patiently for return of the occupant. Those are fat volumes at your bedside. Jackie has got the framing right. Wish you a perfect recovery!
She has, hasn’t she, Uma? Many thanks
I’m so glad you’re out of surgery and doing well. Take care. Hugs and blessings, 🙂 <3
Very many thanks,Natalie
You’re welcome Derrick?❤️
Looking forward to seeing you up and about. Speedy recovery!
Many thanks, Carol
Classic slippers, and a good colour too, vibrant without being gaudy. All in all, an excellent choice.
I note that Jackie could justifiably add “photographer” to her list of talents – the photo captures a lot of character.
Get well soon – and remember the longer you stay in hospital the more likely you are to catch something. 🙂
How true Mr Q How true.
I hope you’re keeping well too. Supporting a husband and a garden must take a bit of energy! 🙂
🙂 Many thanks, Quercus
🙂
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks very much, Geetha
You are very welcome Derrick 🙂
OH! I love the new slippers! A cool color!
Your appetite will return soon!
Continued best wishes for healing and recovery!
(((HUGS))) 🙂
Thanks very much Carolyn
Well done for posting, Derrick. If you feel a lot of pain, make sure that you get painkillers. There’s no need to endure it silently!
Thanks, John. You are quite right
Get well soon Derrick!
Thanks a lot, Arlene
It’s good to know you’re well enough not to break your tradition of posting every day, Derrick. 🙂
I hope your recovery goes smoothly.
Now, I’m going to listen to A Whiter Shade of Pale and play it for my husband.
Thanks very much, Merril a great song
I hope you recover quickly. In the meantime, you’re taking photos from a different perspective. ?
:} Thanks very much, Jean
Nice slippers! ? I was told to keep my toes pointed at the ceiling. I hope your pain is bearable. It wasn’t too terrible for my first knee, but the second one was a doozy. I hope your physical therapy is going well. ?
Thanks very much, Julie
Derek, I hope you soon recover. Compared to one’s home, hospitals are not a good environment. One needs to get into one’s slippers, the two of them. Love, Micheline 🙂
🙂 Nice comment, Micheline. Many thanks
Hello (from Paris – France)
I wish you could recover at best
Than you very much, Yoshimi
I hope you’re doing well and recuperating quickly, Derrick. Nice Slippers!
Many thanks, Diana
At least the operation has been done – you must be relieved! Good luck for a speedy recovery.
Thanks very much, Helen
Derrick…Glad your surgery went well and love your slippers. Jackie seems to be taking great care of you while in the hospital and will do the same when you return home. Remember from one who has been thru 2 of these surgeries….. the key is to not be complacent about doing your physical therapy. It is a bit uncomfortable at first, but the more you move your knee now and bend it as far as you can, the easier it will become and the better results you will ultimately have. Wish you speedy recovery !
Oh! I was irregular again and didn’t know about your surgery. Glad that it went well, Derrick. I’m sure you’ll recuperate steadily and, will again be on your regular diet very soon 🙂 The colour of the slippers is nice (it’s one of my favourite colours).
If we access our comments via the reader they always come in reverse order. Thanks a lot, Maniparna
Yes, I know… 😀 You are welcome, Derrick… 🙂
Nice slippers, Derrick! Glad all went well. You will be eating well again soon, too. 🙂
Many thanks, Lavinia. I’m beginning to feel guilty about how much of the very good food I send back
You’ve got nice Roman feet!
You soon be back quaffing some malbec, I reckon.
Many thanks, Yvonne. Two broken toes notwithstanding?
Am sure your appetite will return once the anaesthetic is processed out!
Stay strong and thoughts with…
Thanks very much, Rob
Nice slippers. Your appetite is bound to return soon.
Lovely slippers Derrick – before you know it you’ll be up and about. Have you started to get stomach rumblings yet?
Bonnes récupérations a toi ?
Merci beaucoup Osyth 🙂
Cant believe you felt like eating even that much–iron stomach!? Your slipper is simple but smart 🙂
Just determined, Cynthia. Many thanks
We well soon.
Many thanks, Pamela
Your feet look well!
Thanks a lot, Lynn 🙂
Hope those pics are well out of date by my late reading and response Derrick.
Keep an eye on that Bunion mate, they can be painful.
Cheers.
Cheers, Ian. Ah! so that’s what it is 🙂
Sorry for the late reply; I do hope you recover quickly.
No problem, Persia. I know you are thinking about me. We are getting there. Thank you
Good to hear, Derrick. Rest up. x
I hope you are healing well.
Slowly, but well, Cristina. Many thanks
