Friends,

I am so glad that you all have been boosting our confidence, now finally the date has arrived of the shunt surgery. Day after is the surgery. We are hoping something better after this.

Very best wishes. The shunt will relieve pressure on the brain so hopefully more recovery will gradually follow.

I'm so glad the wait is over for you all Sanju ; it's often the most difficult part of the process. I trust your brother-in-law's condition will be greatly improved by this procedure.

Please let us know how he gets on won't you. Best wishes for the 8th, Love Cat x

Best wishes for the procedure. Hope all goes according to plan.

Remember to bear in mind that recovery is a slow and uncertain process. Keep your expectations in check and allow yourselves to be pleasantly surprised and delighted as things improve, rather than going in expecting a miracle and feeling disappointed - that helps neither yourselves as carers, nor the patient.

Hello Sanju, Jules here

See I can remember some important things ! Me and my husband (and all our animals) thinking of you and sending you very best wishes.

When you are well enough let us know how you are doing.

You have many many friends here sending you so much good thought that you should almost feel the bubble wrap by now.

Kind regards

Jules
