Hello, everyone. You may have wondered where I've been these last couple of months. The answer is - in hospital! On 27th October I went for a routine appointment with my GP and collapsed with a stroke right in the middle of their car park. As a result I was rushed to A&E and from there through the helter skelter of hospital treatment, contracted a chest infection, nearly died but didn't and then spent the best part of 2 months being rehabilitated. I have only just been discharged home. Fortunately my mental processes haven't been much affected, although I can only walk with a frame and get very tired. However, things can only get better.
Much of what I went through throws light on what people with dementia must go through and I will post about it when i have regained some strength. All I would say for the moment is that it has been an eye opener and a warning to all carers to look after their own health. My stroke was put down to the stress I have been under culminating in Margaret's sad death.
Meanwhile a very happy Christmas to you all. God bless.
