Thank you one and all for the kind wishes you have sent me over the last weeks I really appreciate them all I’ve had some dark days.

I’m nearly home, have gone into supported housing for a week or two to get my strength up, have physio and generally have people around if I need anything.

Still not eating very well, but that’s not going to hurt I’m drinking plenty. Tho when I wanted a Gin got some funny looks, no sense of humour for some.

Still get very breathless even when I stand up and don’t do anything, sats are appalling but are getting better.

Will admit find it hard having people look after me, but I can’t even make a sandwich, without wanting to fall into a heap on the floor.

Miss my kitties tho I did face time them this morning, good thing no one was about would have thought I had gone completely mad

Fortunately I have retained my sense of humour even if the rest of me is knackered.

Love and hugs to one and all and big thanks for all your messages

You’re in touching distance of home now judes and being back with your kitties. Build your strength, enjoy being looked after and keep that great sense of humour. I have a G&T waiting for you. 👍😀

Love and hugs, Carole xxx💜

Yeah Judes we have finally reached part 4 and a bit and part 5 the homecoming is just around the corner .🙂

Hopefully a few more kittie face times 😻should do it and then you and they can enjoy the real thing.

Love Skis and Scruffs 🙃😻x

So glad you are hanging on to that sense of humour. 😀 There is nothing so depressing as having a humourless person round. Unless it’s someone who laughs at something that isn’t funny. 😅 😘x

The supported living seems like a good move before going home. Accept all the help you can get, it will prevent you exhausting yourself trying to do things as you try to make some progress after such a long time in hospital. Glad your sense of humour is still with you xx

It must feel like such a long time since you’ve been home with your kitties but you’re getting there now, and it’s better not to rush home before you’re ready even though I know you really want to. It’s good to go via the supported living to help get you back on your feet in every sense of the meaning. Hopefully you’ll be surrounded by people with a sense of humour 😊 Thank goodness for FaceTime to keep you in touch with your kitties until you can get home and be with them in person. 😻

Aww bless you Judes! Make the most of having people do things for you while you have the chance!

Your kitties will be so pleased to see you when you’re well enough! Hopefully not too long now!

A sense of humour is essential for me! I felt like you a few months ago but after being given various medications, including steroids I am eating everything that isnt screwed down!😀 Having been very independent all my life,it's hard to accept that I now need help. My tipple is a good whiskey and from what I read,moderate alcohol consumption is better for you than none at all!

Great that you're heading the right way. Hope you soon get enough strength back to get home and feed those kitties.

Just spent a while trying to find a nice picture to put on here for you then couldn't make it happen! Technology - humph! Never mind, eh?

It's so good to hear that you are half way home. But - wot? No gin? What sort of a place is that? And no sense of humour? Well, you'll have to shake them up a bit with yours and get them all smiling.

Pretend you're a pampered film star and let them look after you for a while, then hopefully you'll soon be home with your kitties again. Meanwhile Facetime is great! I have this image of them all sitting around the screen at an appointed time waiting for you to show your face. Lol!

Chin up! Or should that be 'Gin up' ?!!!!
