Ian, your updates and thoughts on your health and activities with the lifeboat always help bring me back to what’s most important in life. Positivity and helping others as much as possible. 
Take care of yourself.

At first my treatment  seemed to be going in the right direction. Then since Monday last week.Things started to changed. My taste  bubs didn’t  want  to play. I  eat very little. Sunday Ifell out of the shower  and neither  Marina or I could  get me up.Then yesterday  after a wash I fell again.3 hours on the floor.Then via Ambulance  James Paget. All tests my BP standing becomes  low so to is my sodium  levels.Im on a drip to hopefully  improve  those levels.WIl be here at very least tomorrow 

One good thing I've started  to eat a little.

Ian.

Thinking of you Ian.    They are great at James Paget, and on the drip of concentrated ( I was going to say Prosecco sorry just trying to wind Gracie up) good stuff you will soon feel your old self again.       When your levels drop as yours did , you just feel like a limp rag, you have absolutely no get up and go.   Yes I have been there , but thankfully without your complications.     3 or 4 days on the good stuff and I am sure they will let you home.    Moral of this story,   blow showering or bathing , we would rather have you in one piece.      Must say well done to Marina.     God bless you both.

Sod the eating, the good sign is that he's back to moaning about everything! He's got a tv and was watching a home decorating show and saying how bad of a job they are doing!.. Everything crossed they don't put a cooking show on! 

Hopefully you are home soon.

I've  watched all them to.Some of them couldn't  cook for toffees. 

[MargeandParge]

When you say they need a new coach.  Have you asked the driver ? There is probably nothing wrong with  the bus so a plus for your team . 

Get better soon Ian

Kindest Regards Marge X and Parge 

[Chelsea14Ian]

He may do a better job.

Hi All,

I think it's probably best to share a bit of an update on dad. He is still in James Pageant Hospital. His stats had looked good and was off the drip and was eating and drinking well and even sitting up and getting mobile with the help of Physio. Sadly yesterday he become mute and distant and I suspect he's suffered a stroke.  Test results should be back today and hopefully we get some more details soon.  But if you can offer thoughts and prays perhaps that will help.  The family are visiting daily.  I'll provide more details as and when.

[Gracie]

Thank you Jaws for the update. I and I am sure the rest of his forum family will be sending everything in the way of thoughts and love to him and the whole family

If he can understand, please tell him we are fighting in spirit with him and for him 

Love Grace xxx

[DAVIDH]

Don't like reading this. My fingers are crossed it's not a stroke and that he can come back to some sort of normality in his life. He really has suffered over the last year or so. 

My best wishes
David

[addicted]

I am beyond sorry to hear this. He has fought all the afflictions that have befallen him this year with such determination. I can only endorse everything Gracie said. All our prayers are with him and his family.

Carole

All positive thoughts and wishes to him from our family to yours.
