Thanks all. Much appreciated. Still in hospital. Oxygen sats improved today. A nephew is back at my new house assembling an office chair. (Humbling). He's 10. Saw DS last night and midday. He's returning soon with BIL and 3 littlies. They've been adding messages to my home chalkboard. DS has to return home tomorrow evening but needs something fixing on the car he borrowed first!!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

If you think having a ten yr old sort something for you is interesting, try (a lot of yrs ago when they were new) having an under 4 teach you how to program a video recorder when he couldn't even read. I really really do not like those instructions that are only pictures, I never understand them & still need him in his 40s to interpret.
