Family Crisis

After the last lot of happy news, things are turned around again. In the early hours of last Thursday, my poor hubby had a heart attack and then, while he was being treated for that, he had a stroke. They told me it was all caused by blood clots. While his heart has hardly been damaged, he has lost the use of his right side and his speech is badly impaired. We're lucky he is still with us, but it's going to be a long road to recovery.

Naturally I'm spending a lot of time at the hospital with him. Meanwhile the neighbours are fighting over who will look after Jade and take her for lovely walks. Yesterday she was taken around Badbury Rings again. I think she is still pleased to see me when I collect her in the evening, even if she is just looking forward to her supper. It's so good to have her company in my empty house.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope your husband is able to make a full recovery and that you can stay strong through this difficult time...

I am so sorry to hear this Jean. I do feel for you. It is good that you have kind friends and Jade will be a comfort to both you and your husband. Of course it is early days yet and I would think it could be worth trying to get as much physio and help as possible. Good luck.

I hope that my last message got through to you Jean. The page told me that my comment had not been saved. I hope this one is. I said how sorry I was, and wished you good luck, among other things.

Jean, I'm so sorry. Prayers and best wishes. Hang in there. So glad Jade can give you some comfort in the evenings.
