Card from work

John really struggled this morning, he found everything harder, his head was just more befuddled. He managed to spend some time on the exercise bike, Esther voluntered to have a go at the audiblocks because I needed to do some work at preparing the kitchen for the new kitchen coming next week. John found could only manage some of it before his head was finished. After lunch John's mum and brother came, his head was really hurting down the left side. But after a pain killer it eased somewhat. They both felt he was talking a lot better than when they last saw him.
A really interesting thing happened, John was showing them his mp3 player he got from work, he also got the cards from work that had been signed from everyone. John had not been able to read the names or take it in when he got the card but this time he began to read all the names. He started to talk about everyone in work, how kind they are and different things that had happened in work. It was as though the card triggered it all, at these times it's as though John is finding himself again. Each step is such an encouragement which helps us to keep on working, we give thanks to God for all our friends who are praying for us.
We have our appointment to see the neurologist on Thursday which we hope will provide us with some answers, and maybe help.

Funny John Quote
"He was stuck in The Budgies for a few weeks." (He meant to say The Canaries)

My mum who died of cancer only last December used to collect weekly insurance payment from door to door. I frequently accompanied her as she did this job. I would meet her after school and keep her company as she went from house to house. I remember the cold winter nights when for hours we would walk from house to house. The emotion that flooded my memory was one of feeling locked out of something warm and beautiful. I would stand with my mum in the cold and feel the warmth as the door opened, a smell of something cooking would hit my brain and I would long to be asked in. To spend a moment in the warmth drinking a hot drink. Instead I was left with a feeling of being exclude...
