LUGSDALE Road (LMS)

Glad to hear that you are on the road to recovery! The NHS is often maligned in the press, but when the chips are down they are brilliant!

 

Best wishes

The NHS looked after me splendidly at Stafford Hospital when I had a stroke 15 years ago. I did get the use of my right arm back after much exercise. I play the guitar, and couldn't when I came out of hospital. I just kept going at it for ages until my arm and hand moved the way it needed to.

I have a friend who until retirement was an occupational therapist, she advised me to keep up the exercise. She told me, the part of the brain that had controlled my arm was damaged, and if I kept up the guitar practice a different part of the brain would take over.

Well it worked. I learnt more on the guitar than I knew before, and also I could get back to modelling again..

|So I can only assume it's a stroke you had, but keep using your arm as much as you can.

 

I am pleased to know you think highly of the NHS, My partner works for them as a physiotherapist and My ex wife was a nurse, so I am closely connected.

 

All the best.

 

I may not live far from you near to Blists Hill....

Thanks for the advise, I'm sure my arm will get back to normal eventually, I have some exercises that make me look like a Steps reject but if it helps.

 

Fortunately I have not had a stroke, the damage I have suffered is the result of being in a coma a couple of times and weeks in ICU so my body started stripping my muscle mass. Still its a price I'm happy to pay to be on the mend, I may even buy an Banjo as I have been threatening it for years, I mean how hard can it be to play?

 

As for the NHS they are all Hero's and I will be eternally grateful to them.

Great to see you posting on here again Paul. Still waiting for my Weathering Masterclass when you are up to it.

 

Always been a great lover of the NHS. My mother-in-law Margaret who was 97 in December was in the NHS from the start having been a nurse before that.

 

She might have still been working there if it hadn't been for somebody realising that she was 78 and still Nursing. She was older than most of the patients in the Geriatric Ward.

Glad to hear you are on the mend Paul.

 

Just keep doing what they tell you to..they work wonders so long as you stick to the plan!

Trust me I will follow what they have told me, there is no way I want it to happen again

Good to see you back here!  I expect the elephants will be galloping around again in no time

Good to see you back posting again and look after yourself Paul...

Wondered why your blogs had disappeared. Now we know why.

Given time and your determination I`m sure your modelling days will return. Good to see you back on these pages again.

 

Best wishes,

Jim.

Chaps - thank for all your kind words, its good to be back

Glad to see you blogging again Paul! I could not agree more with what you say. 

 

While you recover, don't forget to go back through your past posts and enjoy the world(s) that you have created so far. And please don't stop blogging. I would even accept wading through a full class history of the Jubilees
