Since my last blog Steve has visited the surgeon who has been looking after his left elbow. Steve will have to have further surgery on his left elbow in an attempt to increase its mobility.  To be honest Steve is not thrilled at the idea of having to have yet another operation but is going to approach this task like always head on.

 

Steve has been visited by family and friends this week and always gets a lot from conversations and laughs he has with the people who come along to see him. On Saturday Steve was visited by Emma Hughes the daughter of Graham Hughes who was a fire fighter at Bolton North fire station and Colin Price from Fire Service Headquarters. Emma and Colin have been putting a lot of hard work into arranging a Cabaret night in honour of our Steve which is being held at the Reebok Stadium on the evening of the 4th June. Steve was very interested to hear about what was being planned. He really made all of our days when he agreed to attend the function along with Pauline. This will be the first function he has attended in the Manchester area and he is pleased its at the football ground of the team he supports. Steve told us all it is an opportunity to say thank you personally to a lot of people who attend the night. He is really looking forward to seeing many of you there and in true Steve Morris style has chosen a table near the Bar! If you want to come long please ring emma on 07931729199 or Colin on 07979708476 or 608 4022 you can also contact Gail Price who works on C Watch in Fire Control. Steve and his family will see you on the night.

 

Overall putting the elbow operation to one side Steve is carrying on with managing his recovery and is keeping positive. He talks more of the future now especially his future with Pauline and what that means to him. Steve wanted me to thank everyone who has been nominating him for the Pride of Britain Awards. I have told him of the messages I have received from family and friends supporting him still and he is very grateful to you all.
