New kitchen day

We were awake pretty early this morning, we had to get ready for the new kitchen to come. I dropped a worktop on my toe, not sure if I've broken a toe but it hurts. We saw our G.P. this morning who was much more positive about John's recovery, this made us both feel a lot happier. He said the headaches John's getting are stroke headaches and could last months, but at least we know what we are dealing with. We had to inform the dvla about the stroke today as well. They will make a decision about when John can drive again, please pray for this because John finds it hard not being able to drive, he has mobility difficulties with the arthritis in his back and the angina, he feels like his legs have been cut off when he can't drive. He is dependent on others to go anywhere.
John managed audio blocks but it was harder today with all the noise. We had to go and buy tiles and we managed to buy the new table tennis and pool table for the Y.P.F at the Church. So overall John has done a lot, but he hasn't managed all the other things today but is too tired now, and his head is really hurting.
Alex has been amazed at how quickly John is improving , I think he is finding it hard that John can learn so quickly when everything he learns takes so much longer. John is following the audiblox programme that Alex has used for a while now. We had a long chat today about the different ways we learn and how some people learn really quickly while others put in an lot of effort, but we are all made differently.

The warmth of the light flooded through the open doorway into the dark street. As I sat there a flood of childhood memories filled my senses. 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...
