I’m still here

Well I have reached my five year life span my consultant gave me originally, that was before a blood clot had sealed off my aneurysm, and it had started to shrink, my little miracle. Hopefully it is still in place and I went for my first scan on Friday, so now just have to wait for the results to find out, fingers crossed.

Yes, me too Alice. I have such strong (& good) memories of the place and the staff. So it's expanded even further ? I haven't been back since 2012.

ps --just taken a look on Google Street View ! Came over the hill on Stott Lane (My last weeks in Rehab were in one of the first buildings on the left) and, following around to the front entrance, spotted the massive extensions/additions everywhere ..... 😲 !

I'll be thinking of you m'love .... Xx
