Don't envy your W.C. issues it must be a pain being unable to go too far from home.
Great to see you are able to keep us posted.
Hope the wife is coping ok the carer needs care too.
Best wishes Ted & Wendy

Thanks, my wife is fantastic, very strong on the outside, but insides are churning around. We have our daughter and grandson at home for a few days, he is nearly two, it's great to know the family carries on. When he is here my life changes

Just had a text from my wife, I suggested she called into our local hospital, to see if she can pick up a couple of night bags, she has... Thank goodness, other than that we would have to make a special journey to my treatment hospital, 20 miles away. Little things make such a huge difference.
I really used to get so stressed out when my Mav went in for it's MOT... wow... when it comes down to your own health... it puts it into perspective... I really didn't know what worry was...
Although, I have suffered work related stress over the years, as I used to worry about the simpler things in life, now I realise how unimportant that really was.
I'm sure stress makes you more vulnerable to illness.

When I had my Hodgkins Lyphoma back in 1987 it was about 15 months after I had been promoted to Sergeant and my wife always put it down to the initial stress I suffered for the first 6 months in the post.

Although I passed my Inspectors exam a few years before I not only refused to go for a promotion board but I also declined to be acting Inspector when it was offered me.

A fellow rookie Sergeant at Alfreton was a chap called Roger Baker who went on to become Chief Constable of Essex Police and was a H.M.I. and now is a director at Colchester Hospital.

He was an okay guy and clearly ambitious he did go through a divorce after he left Derbyshire. He is in the news again as link I just found shows!
