Best Wishes Card!

[Noosner]

Just caught up with the news LD. So sorry to hear in the first place that Mr LD had a stroke but very glad to hear he's progressing towards recovery and that you are both ok in yourselves and even chipper at times. As you say, it is onwards and upwards and it must be such a relief that Mr LD's current port of call has such a good reputation. Hope your cold is better soon and as everyone says, try and remember to make time for yourself, to put your feet up and watch some daft telly or just sit staring into space (one of my favourite activities!) If you can get into the garden, even if only for fifteen minutes, it will do you the power of good. I missed signing your card so here's lots of love and hugs from Ilkley XXXXX

I was talking to my hospital physio niece about recuperation for strokes and she says that the physios will be working with Mr LD but they might not be his best friends as it will be hard work for him, but worth it in the end! They will be getting him 'dancing again' (her words!).

Just popped in at silly o'clock.fr to see your updates .

Lovely news to hear he's progressing...you look after yourself...he's getting loads of attention and will be able to show off to you when you next see him....tis you in need a bit of pampering lass xx

Never mind telling him about the cost of his favourite biccies...just fess up that you've comfort eaten his hoard of them

[muddled]

You really MUST rest LD.
When he does finally come home he will need you to be fighting fit. It sounds as though things have been wearing you down for a while and then to have the shock of Mr LDs stroke...well, its no wonder you are picking up viruses!

So you need to rest now, while he is receiving excellent care and visits from dear friends...you need to be kind to yourself for his sake as much as yours.

What muddled said ^^^ xx

I'm so pleased to hear that Mr LD is doing better, every little change, however small, is a step on the road to complete recovery. Now that things are starting to look up and you're able to relax a little I expect that you will be open to viruses so I'm not surprised that you aren't feeling well. As everyone else has said, take care of yourself, you want to be on top form for when he comes home

[lottie dolly]

Thank you again friends,the power of friends,family vine and prayer,are working well,xxx

[Verinda]

It's great to know that Mr LD is doing well xx

Just caught up with the thread, lottie, glad to hear you get a free taxi all that way to St Lukes. The specialist stroke unit there should give Mr LD the best care and physio, and hopefully he will start to improve more rapidly and be able to come home sooner.

Lots of fresh fruit and greens for that cold, lass, look after yourself, chill a bit, (glass or two of wine perhaps?) and get yourself well again.

Saw him this afternoon,and improvements,they are working him,he was more than pleased to see ME bless him,the physio said he doing well,it is hard to understand how he got some movement in the arm,but cannot find it when it slips off the pillow when in a chair,the leg is coming on a treat,still cannot stand on his own,or without support,so taxi here i come EVERY day,thanks again for all your support peeps,i will post updates as things progress love LD xx

MH,the drivers say they go all over the place,coalville,nuneaton,Harborough,ext,just doing the free taxi service for peeps,when the loved ones can only have a suitable bed placement further afield,it is paid for by the hospital,i think,like the royal,as for wine,you can have my share hehe

Hey LD, you need to take care of yourself gal, now that Mr.LD is starting to make the steps to recovery & is in safe hands you must look to your own wellbeing, when he comes home he will need you to be in 'tip-top' condition, from my own previous experience I would lay odds that not only your sleep but also your diet will have suffered since the onset of his illness, please, please, please try your very hardest to eat 'properly', sleep I know can sometimes be hard but if it helps they best way I found was to go to bed thinking of the moments that had made me smile.

Take care of yourself, MoMmy said so xxxx

[Bigmallly]

Thanks for the updates lottie, I know you have more important things on your mind so it's much appreciated. Am really glad that Mr LD is making progress, like everyone else is saying, take care of yourself.

[Greenleaves]

Really pleased to read that Lottie, but as BB & BM say above, dont forget you! Xx

[lottie dolly]

thank you mommy,i need to loose a good bit off weight,but do take on board all you and others have said,i have not wanted to eat much,plus the horrid head cold i have just seen off,knocked me for 6 as they say,so should start to sleep a lot better now,it's like living in a dream,so long as i get him home,but only when time is right,

[bearded bloke]

so long as i get him home,but only when time is right,

bang on gal and when the time is right for him to come home you need to be healthy enough to enjoy each others company again, fingers crossed for further improvements in Mr.LD's condition
