Only me, just to say really enjoyed my visit today,great to catch up with all the weekends gossip.It was So nice to be able to sit and chat just like old times.It amazes me we never run out of stuff to talk about.Forgot to say David, your knitting is coming along great just so you dont feel left out.love Marie x
Things that haven’t changed since the stroke:
1. You still don’t like swearing
2. You are still not good in the morning
3. You are still the central point for your family
4. You still sort things out, you were even doing that from your hospital bed on the phone to me and various others, helping us.
5. You still plan your diary and trips away
6. You still laugh at mine and Janes jokes, even when we are taking the piss.
7. You still organise “clinic” discussions, e.g. sat down for lunch on Friday and you said “right first we’ll talk about you and work”, you’d make such a good chair person at a meeting.
8. Your laugh is as hearty as ever
9. Your straight face when you are saying things which sends us into kinks of laughter and you say “what are you laughing at”
ETC, etc I could go on and on.
The best things since the stroke:
1. The strength of your relationship with David, which is a joy to see, its always been there but now you are alot more open and obvious about it.
2. You talk even more about yourself
3. You put your arm around me when I’m leaving
4. I’ve seen more of you
5. You have always been my longest friend and now the friendship feels even stronger, like its embedded in stone.
6. You have always been a strong person Karen, but the stroke has proven how strong and how determind you are. If we could all share just a bit of your determination we’d all be alot better off for it. Any going spare you know where to send it to.
7. The stroke and the accident has put a lot of things in perspective for you, especially in terms of relationships and what is most important in life, we all need to take a leaf out of your book on this subject.
8. Given your current limitations you are living life even more to the full. Prague, London and Spain trips,to mention just a few.
Take care Karen, the recovery process will never go as quick as all of us would wish, but grey matter and the muscles will heel with time and exercises.
