glad you are keeping us up to date Jill I have been wondering how the move had gone for you. It took it's time happening for you, and now the delay and upset with the kitchen. Your blogs always sound so positive to us all, but we do realise what a brave and resolute lady you are.

X Franks birthday today - 90, the care home are laying on a party for him, if i had let you know earlier you could have brought your choir to sing for him :)

Jill....so glad you are finally in & seem to be settling well, even through the upset of having a new kitchen fitted. I agree with the others...you are an inspiration & an amazing lady. Keep strong & keep blogging as it helps others so much.

As ever, take care & keep smiling Love Hazel B xx

Hi Jill

More congratulations on your move. We've done the same thing and we're much like yourself, having to change kitchens and bathrooms. We are very fortunate to have an en-suite for my husband and had visions of changing it into a wet room but due to the plumbing - which we believe can't be changed - we have to go back to the drawing board.

BUT - the move has been very positive and we're both much happier.

So, keep well and keep smiling.

No, Jill, unfortunately there is no speech therapist with knowledge of Lee Silverman's technique in my area.But, we had some good recommendations for the speech therapist and she believes that my father will see some improvement.I hope she is right!Take care, John.
