Just to update you. l have just returned from a lovely weekend with my best friend and her family. We had long chats about the issues in my life and she sorted me out. lt was such fun watching the Royal wedding in our finery and eating canopies, drinking diet coke!!! l also received my medical alert rubber bracelet from "theidbandco.com" via Amazon it only took a day to arrive £12. You contact the seller with your details, name, next of kin mobile number, medication and conditions, which is then printed on the inside. lts also waterproof. l am so pleased with it and it has given me the confidence to transport my Grandkids to and from school. Thanks once again for all your support. Sue, xxx

So glad you are feeling more positive after a good weekend. Did not get a chance to reply last week but would like to say that your story , recovery and kind comments to me really helped me when I came on this forum. You helped make me realise how lucky I had been and that if you could recover when you had been so ill so could I . So thank you so much and I hope that you have a good week. This time last year I was just starting my endocarditis /surgical journey and missed out on my favourite time of year. This year, spring has come very late in Scotland but the colours are brighter and the Bird sound louder, very special. Thank you. Mary

Thanks for your kind words, l do not have the best memory since my brain swelled but l am so glad l helped but l don't want to be a heart bore. When you go through things that are life threatening and rise like a Phoenix after fighting like a Lioness, if you can inspire one person to think "l CAN do this" which became my mantra every morning for 92 days, then words become weapons of HOPE. Let me know how you got on through your journey please, it will inspire others . Sue x
