Tiredness and lack of sleep

Just a short update for our praying friends. John has been very tired today, he had three hours in work on Monday and yesterday and again tomorrow. We have been keeping the therapy going, so yesterday John worked on the exercise bike, the balancing board, audiblox and Keda reading. he has also become a Soduko fan.
He went into work and attended a board meeting where the chair welcomed him back but he was there just to observe. John came home and was very upbeat because he was happy to see everyone. Today however he has been very tired. He did the exercise bike and balancing board and had to take the car for its mot. When he got back he had a go at compublox. But after that he fell asleep for a lot of the afternoon. He went to the prayer meeting tonight and struggled to keep awake. John suffers with insomnia, his legs are very painful due to diabetic neuropathy which often keeps him awake. We would value your prayers as he gets used to work and keeping the therapy going. His poor brain must be working so hard and a it's important that his brain gets the rest it needs as it continues to recover from the stroke.

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...
