My recovery i...Thank you Gill for your comments. <br /><br />My recovery is going very well and I'm nearly back to 'norma' whatever that may be. Once the atrocious weather clears up a bit I shall be back to our daily walk, not quite as quickly as I was able to but getting there.<br /><br />I have been following your blog and the trials you and your family have experienced during Geoff's illness. It does seem incredible that the medical profession still can't give him a diagnosis, but I was pleased to hear that he has regained a little bit of feeling in his fingers and that his physio is helping. They surely won't discharge him home if you have nowhere suitable for him to move to will they? Here's wishing you as Merry a Christmas as you can and hope that the situation resolves itself soon.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-20067163924671184462021-12-09T13:12:01.215+00:002021-12-09T13:12:01.215+00:00Wow Carol.

As I've just said to Jaq above it was a few day after the event that the reality hit me, that life would be different now but we've never been one to shirk an adventure and our life has always been like that. The hardest part for me was putting my family through that phone call that they would have received telling them that I'd taken a turn for the worst and they needed to come to the hospital. How so very awful for them. But, I am so glad to be alive and I can face the future with my family's support.

It was only a few days after that I felt the full impact of what had happened both emotionally and physically. I'm feeling stronger every day and wish the weather was a bit calmer and I could get outside for a bit of fresh air! I am strong and we'll get there together. xxxCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-32015808521735834672021-11-27T07:43:15.041+00:002021-11-27T07:43:15.041+00:00Hi Sandra love you lots too and hope to see you in...Hi Sandra love you lots too and hope to see you in the not too distant future xxxCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-79660964700877993512021-11-27T07:42:32.437+00:002021-11-27T07:42:32.437+00:00Mike - thank you.
