phil thats brilliant news i understand what you mean about sharon being unsettled but she seems like a girl who knows what is what so to speak promise to take her out for a knees up if she does well a month will be amble time for new eyes and new blood to assess sharon and with the evidence you have i think they might just take note and push sharon as far as she can plus a bit more at least i hope so and a month is good news and if sharon pulls it of it could be longer couldnt it take care phil love to sharon

hi phil im please sharon is going to be reasessed hopefully by a new team who will give her a chance take your camera with you and all the supporting items you can muster i was very cynical when lin was moved although not to rehab but the new team of drs has sussed that lin wasnt getting the care she needed and due to their help lin is making minute progress every day is different as you know finding out everyday drugs are being withdrawn weekly i agree with your apraisal re the prevoius situation but hopefully there is a new team in place with fresh eyes hopefully and dont forget a week can be moved into more than one week at a moments notice i do understand how you feel but explain to sharon why she is going and that its up to her to try and make them understand its what she needs please dont give up on sharon or the team she is gong to be under before she gets there hopefully fresh eyes and team a lot can happen in a week cant it. you have taught me well i will never give up on lin because of sharons comeback as small as it is but to both you and sharon its massive i wish you both well and have my fingers crossed for you both chin up mate give both sharon and the team a chance please keep us informed i for one will be on tenderhooks waiting for news take care phil and dont lose heart hugs and cuddles to you both and the family xx

hello sweetheart please dont feel too down you have managed to recover so well so far i hate it when im on my own its gives the brain to much free time to think god i know that feeling i understand your thoughts on the new coiling and the reasons why nothing like a wedding to buck one's way of feelings mind you you might feel just as unwell if you have a couple of tinnies at the wedding dont forget the pictures the angio isnt something to be frightened of just imagine the dr naked when he does the angio and dont forget you will be thought of anyway now you have new friends over here and elsewhere im pleased you are able to work which is a very good thing and the fact you seem to be managing very well as for the driving well just sit in the back and pretend to be posh :lol: nad enjoy thease people wouldnt give you the rides if they didnt think you needed support which is nice as for paul just like all us fellas we arnt mind readers like you women :lol: i think he does know and i can only suggest you sit down with some tinnies or choclates and have a heart to heart with him he proberley does know but may have the same problem as you and dosnt know how to explain his feeling to you without upsetting you and himself i think its time for a nice meal and one to one time and chat and have lots of hugs and cuddles i think you both have to support and clear the air of fragile eggs lift them away instead of treading on them debbie talk to him and let him talk you you then give each other a cuddle take care sweetheart and well done and keep it up hugs and cuddles

hi nora welcome to the family you have done well so far just keep it up and wishing you further improvement take care

i know there are two trains of thought over asprin i hope this might put things into prospective asprin is a known blood thinning agent as has been given to certain people to thin the blood down when some of you were is hospital you were possibley given clexain which is given to prevent blood clots therefor reduceing the chance of having pulmoanery embloism because you were not as active as you were pre sah hence giving the chance of pulmoanary embolism espeacily as you were flat in bed not moving how many of you were wearing compression stockings when in hospital raiseing the risk of pe some drs swear by asprin and others draw back because the asprin does thin blood some people benifit from a daily dose of asprin and it does in a small way what clexlain did when you were flat and immobile by all means one should always check with gp as to the pro's and cons hope this helps

ps as for the housework get a toyboy in to do it lol

ann dont you every say you are a failure and have let people down you have done so well in your recovery and i dont think the people who you were working for would say that either , all you have done is try to push the boundaries a little bit more than normal which is very admeiral but as you said you wanted to try it for a week or so but you did what all of us would do just because you enjoyed doing what you were doing you ignored your own guidelines naughty girl lol you have learn a very important lesson that is slowly slowly catchee monkey have a rest then start again and this time abide by your choice to do a couple of weeks then rest this is the only way you will achieve victory and full recovery SO DONT TELL US YOU ARE A FAILURE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE you have done more than you expected you have learnt a lesson listen to your body sweetheart slowly slowly catchee monkey and so well done ann because you arnt where you were a year ago your miles ahead smashing there is one saying ive had since spending time in hospital with spinal injury dont go down get angry this helped me through one sort of nightmare by getting angry gives you the positiveity to move on well done ann so no more feeling down you have done so well rest and move on when the body tells you take care sweetheart and dont run yourself down
