    DH is trying to chat to his parents on Skype but he's so off his face on his new meds that I'm having to finish his sentences for him....it's hard going. (but quite fun when I keep suggesting the wrong words :) )

    He was in a car accident Claire and has spinal damage - he's taking loads of different stuff but they've just started him on some new ones that are the strong nerve/muscle relaxants that they give for epilepsy as he's having huge muscle spasms that are almost like a whole body tic (but with mega pain)...he's got to up his dose daily, we've got to day 3 and he's about 5 minutes behind everyone else.....he's got to work up to 12 a day so I can't begin to imagine how bad he'll be by then :rolleyes:

    He's got damage in his neck which causes loss of feeling in his arms and hands and loss of movement in his neck and then damage in his lower back which mean he's almost 98% reliant on a wheelchair.

    Looks lovely Becky - I love Southwold

    It was on the news tonight because an estate agent is trying to sell a beach hut for £40,000!! The thing is it is smaller than the usual ones (which go for £100,000) has a boarded door and window, peelin paint and a roof that is falling apart.

    Somone will buy it because the are so sought after, but obviously they have more money than sense!
