Getting there.

 Well I understand from various sources that my  messages have not been getting through - I have been pressing the wrong buttons, so here I am trying again.

Here is the 'low down' on the state of play.   I seem to have developed Grand Mal Epilepsy and have just been in hospital for a fortnight after a very bad fit  not nice  for any of us.  I was in Darlington M|emorial  Hospital -delightful staff from all over the world - lovely doctors- lovely food and nothing at all to complain about.   Now bit by bit my drugs are being changed.   I am feeling strange and not thinking straight.

Thank you all for your concern and good wishes.   I will be back when I feel well enough. In the meantime much love dear bloggy pals - missing you.

  27. The drugs for epilepsy can make you feel you can't think normally. I had to take the epilepsy drug carbamazepine for years (for trigeminal neuralgia) and hated the way it made me feel. I hope the feeling settles down soon as you get used to them. Take care.

  44. So very reassuring to learn directly from you what caused you to be away from your blog for such a long period of time. Thank you for putting my mind, and those of so many others, at ease. I am sure it was not an easy task for you blog that this time. I have learned that following the doctor's orders and informing the doctor of any changes in my physical and mental condition that I would notice helped me on my road to recovery. I hope you are resting easy knowing that you are greatly loved by so many bloggers and folowers of your blog. Stay positive and try to return to your normal daily routine when you are able. Think of the comments left here for you as Get Well cards expressing love to you from both near and far. Be safe. Be well. Be Happy. Hugs!

  47. It's so good to see that you are back home, safe and sound. I can imagine how changing meds and being out of your normal routine could be trying for you but time should put that right. Take it easy and be patient with yourself (that's as hard, if not harder, than being patient with someone else). We will all be patient while waiting for your return to blogland.

  99. You will never know how much your thoughts and messages have meant to me - At least for the time being the combination of all your messages, plus a plethora of very handsome young doctors!! lovely helpful young nurses - many of them from places like Latvia - all with good English. The food was good- no complaints at all. I went back yesterday for yet another scan and my druges are being gradually changed. Now I take things easy and hope things improve - time will tell but ninety good years means I have had a good shot at life so what will be will bexx
