Good morning everyone, Thank you so much for caring, you have all lifted my spirits...hugs
In the immortal words of Victor Meldrew, "I don't believe it"
I set off to go and visit Stephen in hospital yesterday but never
got there. Instead I was sitting on the Derby ring road broken down for
over an hour until my breakdown service arrived. Ended up being towed to
my usual garage and still awaiting a report on it. Something broke in
the engine and it's going to be costly! Can anything more happen to us
now?
I never got to see Stephen but Susan went last night
and she said he was very tired. They must be putting him through his
paces in rehab!
This morning I am going to have a try at
driving Stephen's car. It is a lot bigger than I have driven for many
years so I think I will take a turn or two around the village before I
venture any further!
To cap it all, I had word from my cousin that our wonderful Uncle Doug has passed away. He was the nicest person anyone could ever meet and will be sadly missed. He had cancer so we were expecting it, but it's still a shock. R.I.P. Uncle Doug 1920 - 2013
Oh well, onward and upward as they say!

So sorry Jackie. Life has a habit of throwing these things at us and always at times one after another. I so hope your son progresses well and your car gets better too and it is not as bad as first thought. As they say chin up and keep on motoring!! xx

Good grief Jackie!! What ELSE!! You poor love. I do hope the car doesn't prove to be a huge money pit. It never rains but what it pours eh! Thinking of you love. xxx
My heartfelt sympathy Jackie for the loss of your Uncle Doug.
Sorry about your car - gosh, everything is just happening all at once :-( Hope you will be able to drive Stephen's car OK and not have any problems with it.
When my Mum had a stroke, they got onto the rehab very quickly and she was so tired as they pushed her to keep trying to walk (she had RHS weakness from the stroke)and do all the exercises from the physiotherapist - and she is now 98% back to normal with just a slight speech impediment. You will feel very encouraged as you see Stephen improve a little each day even if it does take some time.
Sending lots of {{{hugs}}}
