Day 39 – Sunday 21 December
For roundabout the last 36 hours life in the Jeffery household has returned to some semblance of normality. There were lights left on all over the house, there was no hot water because Paul stayed in the shower until it ran cold, there was nowhere to sit in the lounge because Pat was asleep on one of the settees and Paul was asleep on the other, we had to watch cr*p on the television such as Kerrang, the bird had company and somewhere to sit again (see picture), Mark was home for the weekend so the four of us sat down for a proper home cooked dinner, I ended up washing up (but Pat has pointed out that she did the cooking...) and there was no room on the Sky+ again. And it was brilliant!
Sadly, all too soon it came to an end and we had to take Paul back to Maidencraig; it seemed only 5 minutes before that we had picked him up to bring him home but we all enjoyed it and we are all looking forward to when he comes home for Christmas. We didn’t do a great deal today; Paul wanted to go the Bistro for a bacon and egg roll for breakfast so we did that, then we went to Aboyne to get a Christmas tree and then came home. Andrew popped round to see Paul and after he had gone Paul had a nap before dinner and then it was back to Maidencraig.
He is still progressing really well and improves on a daily basis. Apart from his speech, his walking and the fact that everything he does is a little slower and more deliberate than before (because he has to think what he is doing) then you wouldn’t really know anything was wrong. Hopefully, given the progress he has made so far, he should eventually make a near full recovery.
We have a case conference tomorrow with the doctors so we should find out their prognosis for the future, but based on this weekend we are getting more and more confident.
We still plan is to have an “open house” on Boxing afternoon for anyone who wants to pop round and see him, but obviously can’t confirm until we know that he is definitely coming home – watch this space!
