Hello Paul, I have watched 3 episodes, what a brilliant series. I found it thoroughly remarkable, especially the surgery where the patient has to be woken up to make sure they don`t lose their speech. The Irish lady stood out although all the patients are really brave, the young girl I felt sorry for she is so young.

I personally suffer from Grand Mal Seizures, some I get a warning some I don`t it`s the one`s with no warning are the more damaging, I have broken my front teeth, fractured my jaw and many more, the recent being my elbow was cut to the bone it was horrendous pain, I was totally unaware for at least 2hrs it takes me that long to come round properly, I personally detest the incontinence. Your wife is very lucky to have a husband like yourself, it must be very hard on you but mostly very upsetting I would think, I have my Grand Daughter I have brought up from birth she is now 13yrs old, I am also lucky to have her. I does not run in my family it was the shock of my mum dying that brought it on for me. The brain can be a very fickle thing. I am finding this ESA business very stressful which also does not help it seems to be a lucky dip, what a mess !! How did your wife get on at the hospital? I do hope they gave you some good news.

Kind Regards,
