    The two were unrelated with two very different symptoms, it was just an unfortunate coincidence.

    Mum's was a bowel issue, dad's was because he got stressed about mum and due to the thin trickle of blood now getting through to his brain (blocked and almost completely blocked carotid's - operation due before Christmas), the slightest change of blood pressure etc causes a bit of a crisis which is what happened yesterday.

    Dad's issue is so fragile that he cannot debate anymore, something he always loved, if he gets too excited, too stressed, too full from eating, he does too much etc, it can bring on a crisis although the one yesterday was the worse one yet.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Car would fit. It'd have 3' length spare and 2' width spare...
    Just have to keep to the diet and it'd be fine.


    The Volvo has very long doors, to enable access to the rear seats. It means that to open the door enough to get into and out of the front of the car, you'd need a lot more than 2'. But, did you say your car has a sliding door?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I think you'll be more or less the only person in the country to actually park their car in the garage. The space is far too useful for junk you don't need.

    It's all academic if my house doesn't sell this week though isn't it :)

    Surely you're not waiting for a buyer before going to look at places?
    If everyone did that, nothing would ever get bought, other than to cash or first-time buyers.

    On a similar topic I thought I'd say hello to you all as I've recently had an offer accepted on a 1 bed in inner Herts :) Just got the small matter of the mortgage to sort........... but getting there.

    Don't post here asking for people to have a whip round.
    That doesn't work :)

    All the best with your mortgage/flat. It's exciting, yet scarey, isn't it - but you do have to make a choice at some point and just do it.

    Dunno about other NPs but whiprounds only work with this one when he can see to what it is he's being asked to donate :p:p:p
