A Word Of Thanks
Ah, my dear CS friends, thank you for all the well wishes. It is very much appreciated. As for the two or three remarks with the hidden barbs in it, thanks too. It helped me to form a clearer definition of you.I am ok; as the quack said, very lucky! Although I still talk ‘funny’, my face is almost back normal. It is my arm I’m most worried about, but I will be receiving therapy as from next week. I also walk with a limb; not too bad though.
Somebody is helping me to type this. The old quack said very little or no permanent brain damage. Luckily there was not much up there to get damaged in the first place; you cannot damage what you don’t have!
He also said no laptop for the next week or two. Luckily the old coot said nothing about my desktop computer; I forgot to tell him about it. Only now I see what I’ve been missing for the last few months. It is bigger, better and faster.
Needless to say, my daily routine had been drastically altered; mostly because of my dumb hand, but even that is improving.
I cannot drive my car and I battle with my PC. Otherwise I have most under control. And I practise typing as much as I can.
To my friend, the aspiring doctor, here on CS: Eishh, you should have spoken earlier. I could have saved myself a small fortune consulting with you. For the cost of this little outing I could have stayed in a five star hotel for a week. I’m flattered that you humbled yourself to giving your opinion.
Then lastly a bit of advice; don’t ever read old novels in bed. It could be detrimental to your health. I was snugly tugged in bed reading ‘The key to Rebecca’ when it happened. Just as well; I might have had a hole in my head too.
Thanks again for all those good wishes, eCards, flowers and private messages.

Sorry, I almost missed you, but he did not.
He says: Out and about? No, more like house arrest!

You heard what he said: Yes boss!

I'm sorry, but he's looking at no movies until I see fit. He loves Laurel and Hardy.
Thanks for trying. He appreciates it.

He said: I was not gone. Just delayed elsewhere.

He said:
No chance of that. I may not even look at the video clips my friends sent me. I am a prisoner in my own house.

And rightly so daddy!
He says: I'm fine now. Only a lot of fuzzpots surrounding me.

He said: No such luck buddy, A cat has 9 lives.

He had all areas blocked. He showed me how to open it. You are welcome to try again if you wish.

Second one about th nurses. I think they look different here than over there my friend. Totally unappetizing!
I hope I did not skip anybody. If I did forgive me.
I can smell a fire outside and will have to cancel their plans. My dad must get some sleep. I will not be surprized if he is behind the whole thing. Everybody arrived about the same time.
This computer must go off now. If he behaves I'll let him read some more a bit later. As if I would have any say to that.
Thank you for embracing him the way you do.

Do not be discouraged CAT is the main
When my husband lost his sight in one eye and doctors fought for the preservation of vision in the other eye my children have dedicated themselves to him a fully(I earned money here)
and he was very upset and I said to him on the phone
"You've had only two eyes before now you have a five"
Soon, very soon everything will be good.
Thank you DVR
not often I give my own gender flowers but exceptions can be made(LOL)
Please do not think I'm forward. His daughter has her hands full. Catfoot insist on all comments to be answered. I make it easy on her. When I left there less than 2 hours ago he was sleeping.
When he sleeps he sleeps so qiuet I watch his chest all the time to see if he is alive. Whe he is awake I see his eyes and I know this cat has a lion's heart. Very much courage. A family of fighters. Strong people who live long.
His daughter does not allow him to view videos now. I'm sure she will preserve them for later. Thank you for caring.
I work at the hospital where he was. I saw him an hour after it happened and I see him all the time. He is getting better all the time. He will be typing his own blogs again.
Thank you, he will appreciate your message.
Finally I met you here and now rather than a few hours later
Thank you dear kind soul
I so often lose good people that I needed to know that my new friend is fighting and winning
I rarely call a man my friend
But he is a friend
Thank you Nancy again and not only once...
I appreciate your help. Sorry for sending you all away today, He needed rest.

My father is still sleeping and I hope he will sleep all night. I promised to look after his blog before I go to bed.
DVR
He still wanted to read a few blogs, but I am not going to wake him now. I will tell him about you when he wakes up.
DVR
He asked about you before he fell asleep. I will tell him you were here. Thank you for dropping in.

My father has forbidden me to answer, or help to answer, any of his personal messages. He insists on doing that himself when he is capable.
When that will be is unclear, but it may be sooner than expected. He has that same dogged determination as my grandfather who had a hip replacement in February and is now driving his own car again and walking without a stick. Phenonomal at the age of 85.
He will not be working on a computer for at least a week. I gave him his old keyboard to 'practise', but his hand is very clumsy. He will start therapy on Monday.
I thank you for all the messages, cards and flowers on his behalf. Bear with him. He will be back.
DVR
He says: I still have 8 left, buddy, I took me a while to suss you out for genuine.

haha... ok.
