  • Hey Taxi,

    Just dropping by to see how you are doing, you are often in my thoughts.

    hope you are enjoying the closing ceremony. I ahve been entirely sucked in by the Olympics!

    Taxi - I am very sorry that you have had all of the ammo and still have to fight again. Seems very unfair to me ...

    Having said that, the medics seem to be acting with appropriate haste and you seem to have been having a more balanced life during the first bout and subsequent recovery.

    Very good to hear you do not need the painkillers and have had some sea air.

    All the very best

    Yes! That expresses it exactly!

    So does the rest. I'm glad you're not having to fight too much pain, Taxi, and had a couple of walks. Have you been able to get interested in the Olympics, or is it passing you by, with the shock you've had? :(

    Oh my word. I hope she does well! I managed to get tickets to one event (men's volleyball) and was up in London to get a free spot to watch the men's triathlon (the Brownlee brothers) - but there's no tickets at the mo for the paralympics, I think. Don't know if there's stuff like the triathlon, where you can find a place on the road to watch, that would be amazing!

    Hope you're doing okay at the mo.
