Birthday weekend

 A fabulous weekend courtesy of my great family.   I now need a few days recovery time.   Not necessarily alcohol but everything packed into the celebration.    Geoffrey was sorely missed but we all agreed that his tolerance for travelling might not have lasted…..there was a lot of travelling involved.   Boats had to figure somewhere and that came with an excellent lunch on board one of the Thames trip boats.

The intention was to visit him on my return and take all my cards and tell him about the weekend.    However………..best laid plans..........    COVID has reared its ugly head again.  One of the patients in his bay has tested positive so we are on a visiting ban for 14 days..  

There are also rumblings from the hospital about the next stage..   they obviously can’t keep him forever!   Due to him getting physiotherapy every day, he is making progress, but not quite at the stage where he (and we) can cope at home in Cornwall.   He has an appointment with neurology on 20th January at the John Radcliffe in Oxford,so unlikely to have a change before then.  At least we hope so.   The longer he is receiving physio the more we think he will improve.

We are trying to find an interim solution at the moment, but finding accommodation in the Oxfordshire area that is suitable for someone with mobility issues and that is not at a silly price is not easy.

We await developments..........................................
