    Me too, LL. Lovely Victory - thinking of, and keeping everything crossed for, you.

    MUCH love, R&G x

    Me three. I didn't want to post again in case Victory felt obliged to update but I do think about her and her family all the time. I am always checking for news.

    I really, really hope all is improving. Love to you all Victory.xx

    Just wanted to wish you and your OH all the best, Victory.
    Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j

    If all else fails, remember, keep calm and hug a spaniel!

    Still thinking of you all, and hoping that things are getting better.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Thank you for having me in your thoughts, prayers, your PM's, your support, to each and every one of you, thank you very much. I realise I will never meet you but please know that even though this is cyber space all your care and love and support has helped me a great deal, thank you very much.

    They took OH in the air ambulance there and brought him back home in a blue light flashing ambulance in the middle of the night.

    It is almost like they brought back a different person.

    This person looks very ill, is in agony, can barely walk, came with a carrier bag full of medicines to take every few hours, has lost weight, is fragile, vulnerable.

    OH asks me the same questions all the time, where is he? Where are his meds? What time is it? What day is it? He looks round for me but can't really understand who I am and what he is doing here .

    OH screams in agony, screams in so much pain, is very emotional and desperate.

    The police have stopped ringing, they have all the info they need, the in laws went back, they covered nearly 1,500 miles and we covered nearly 900 miles in total.

    In total the CCU saved OH 4 times when he stopped breathing. 4 times he struggled to make it.

    OH is exhausted, bruised,broken, can barely walk and will need care 24 hours a day.

    He has been signed off for 4 weeks initially and will be monitored every 7 days initially and then up to 3 months, we need to get some mobility aids.

    The CCU were fantastic, the in laws beyond the call of duty, the neighbours have helped with shopping and the mundane, his work colleagues have sent through the post cards and sweet gifts, you have all been great, thank you.

    Victory, fragile, in pain and disorientated he maybe, but he is also loved, supported and alive. I wish you both a new year of continued recovery, strength, courage and love.

    Thank you, it is going to take some love to get him there, he cannot do anything for himself.

    I wish all of you the best xmas and new year you have every had because I am a great believer in do good and you will get good back, you have done me good and you will be rewarded by good coming back to you all.

    Lots of people talked to me about guardian angels and prayers and when it is your time it is your time, I am not sure I know about any of that but what I do know is I know my OH is in there somewhere.
