Had a long day today and just came on the wind down. We went down to see son Steve in hospital (3 hours each way). Spent a lovely afternoon with him although
it was all very poignant, he does not look like the same son who was here 5 weeks ago but is gritting his teeth and dealing with all that is chucked at him.
He has been given an 80-85% chance of recovery which is a lot better than none but we have managed to get some of the serious talking done that needed facing
up to - now with that all out of the way we can all just concentrate on getting him better. Whatever people say about the NHS (including me at times) the help
he is getting is out of this world, found the overall atmosphere so friendly and smiley although he is in a special isolation room where the air is all
specially filtered to de-bug it. The technology supporting him is fantastic. We are indeed lucky that this particular ward is in his local hospital.
As many of you are aware this has not been our only concern over the past couple of months and I have been very remiss in thanking people for Angel Envelopes, Fat Book pages and Card Swaps. I know there are special threads for these and where possible I have sent PMs before but I know that there are some people who I have forgotten to thank. I have tried to check my outbox and such like but am just in a muddle with them - they are so full with PMs of support that all seems beyond me at the moment. I would ask that you bear with me and I don't mind if you PM me to check if something has arrived - I do understand and hope that you do too. I haven't been able to think about organising the next East Anglian Sheenie Meet but if someone else would like to do it I would be grateful - I will help as far as possible.
So Thanks folks for everything, Happy Birthday to all I've missed, Welcome to all the Newbies I haven't yet greeted, knowing you are all there gives me the strength I need at the moment. Special hugs to anyone who has problems of their own.
I think that just about covers everyone and if anyone is forgotten a gentle reminder won't offend. I have tried replying to 3 threads but they disappear so will give up on that for tonight.
Hugs
