It's coming up to 5 o'clock and I'm approaching my 90th hour in hospital. Late on Tuesday afternoon, I felt a bit strange. Things got progressively worse and Marilyn finally insisted on ringing an ambulance. It seems I've had a stroke and am now set up in the specialist stroke unit of the Launceston General Hospital. My problems are centred in my right arm and leg but my speech and cognition have not been affected. I expect to be here for another week at least.
Sadly, we've had to cancel our trip to the Philippines and Thailand in October. I'm confident that I will have improved enormously by then but we had planned to be away for three months, and that's too ambitious. Best to postpone until we see how things unfold.
it's difficult to type with the 'wrong' hand so I'll keep my posts short.
