I am pleased to report that Adrian Hills had a call from Martin today from his hospital. Martin said that he is recovering well and looking forward to getting back to a more normal life. He appreciates that things may be different but is happy to embrace whatever comes.

  5. Well, thankyou dear fellow members. I got home today and am trying to adjust to my return. Given strict instructions to keep off a cycle for a while. Apparently I collapsed while riding a bike with a group of locals cyclists. The guy who was leading us was surprised when the bike and I fell to the left, seeing as there was no effort to catch the ground with my hand/ arm, bruising my head on the ground. As there was a first aid expert in the group and it happened by a house lived in by an ambulance member, and a phone call to the local ambulance to pick me up, I got to hospital in 15 minutes. I was moved to the Norwich lookers after Stroke patients (Beech Ward) after about a week and was treated there. I sort of entered real life on 1st January, although the first few days felt like a dream. After that I progressed to “normality”. Bodily there has been little problem although mentally its been a struggle. My memory is still a bit spacious but I’m close enough to good for the hospital to send me home. My youngest daughter has moved in to keep an eye on me, and there will be regular visits by hospital experts to check that I’m doing well recovering. Thanks again for your reaction.
