Hi everybody, it’s great to be back home after two and a bit weeks in the hospice. My stay was comfortable and had perks such as reflexology, head massage and Reiki, but most importantly I had access to a bath. I would like to say thank you to the staff at St Michaels who took such good care of me.
But there is no place like home, particularly when it comes to watching Oscar who is growing evermore rapidly. A huge smile comes to my face every time he comes into the room, which is now more often than not under his own steam.
I will write more over the next few days but it may interest you to know briefly that we have hopefully resolved the Advanced Directive issue positively, more details to follow so watch this space.
Speak Soon
Neil
I would like everyone to take a few minutes to link to the South Pole 2008 expedition being undertaken by Doug Oppenheim and Jeremy Rogers. Today is the day they leave. Continue reading ‘South Pole Expedition’
There’s been so much that I’ve wanted to write recently, but not got round to it. I’ve been taking some photos around the house for some time now, and meaning to post them, as I think they can say a lot, whereas, I just don’t have the time or energy.
Some of these photos seem so old now. I just wanted to share them as I think they best describe some emotions which are unimaginable to most. Continue reading ‘Our House’
Hi everybody,
Thank you all for your responses to my earlier posts, particularly the ones regarding the advanced directive debate. I have been thinking about this and all the other associated issues quite a lot over the past week as I have had an unusual amount of time on my hands. Continue reading ‘On a dark desert highway…’
Hi everybody, you may remember a few days ago I was talking to you about the joyous tasks we have been having to perform. Things like the preparation of my Advanced Directive. Continue reading ‘Clear as Mud’
Twice in as many days, blimey. Not much by way of news since yesterday so I thought I might as well use the time to launch the crusade. Continue reading ‘Crusades and Questions’
Hi everybody
I can’t believe how lax we’ve been, given the date of the last entry on Plattitude. So if I’m actually writing this message to myself, given that all of you kind readers have given up and gone home, I completely understand. It has however been a really busy six weeks. I’ll try and fill you in but please ask if you think there’s a gap in the tale. Continue reading ‘Memory boxes and cardboard boxes’
Hi everybody. I meant to mention yesterday the fantastic efforts of Megan/Sas and Sara in their fundraising for the MND association. Megan’s sponsored woddle has been amazingly successful, as has Sara’s ‘Knocking-on-a-bit’ for charity! Thanks very much to both of you from me as someone who benefits from the invaluable help the association provides. Continue reading ‘Fund raising.’
Hello again
I return as promised! Alas, much like Louise, I’m having difficulty in figuring out where to start as so much has changed since I last wrote (21st July).
Louise’s most recent posts seem to cover the physical progression pretty well and I don’t particularly feel the need to go into any more gory details. Given that I don’t know where to start, I’ll start with yesterday: Continue reading ‘Pot holes & hot holes’
Hi everybody, it’s Neil eventually. Sorry I’ve not added to the blog for ages, but I have been holding interviews to try and find a suitable secretary. This is a quick note following Oscars massively successful First Birthday party last weekend. Louise, Oscar and I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everybody for all their help, gifts and giggles, we had an amazing day. We would be grateful if you could send us any photographs you might have taken.
I hope to do another post over the weekend, so speak to you soon….
