Hi Tiggercat. I've read it and have no words for you at all, except a big cuddle for you and for Derek and my immense respect for how you cope, one step at a time. Larraine x

Thanks Lorraine, It has certainly been an adventure, which we are still on. As the Dr's keep saying. "And you lived!". They still can't believe he managed to survive it, and is still trying to hold down a full time job. Not so easy now, but one day at a time.
