Okey Dokey, I've had some internet issues in the last 24 hours, but it's all fixed now. (fingers crossed) I visited Brian at the Royal Talbot yesterday, and I'm happy to report that he's looking better everytime I see him.
I arrived just as he was starting his Physiotherapy session, and his Physiotherapist was nice enough to let me stay and watch Brian going thru his paces. As he's been laid up for the last 4 months his muscles have wasted away, and of course there was a lot of nerve damage, so Brian has got a lot of work ahead of him to rebuild all those muscles again.
He remarked that he doesn't remember learning to walk being that difficult as a baby, but I reminded him that was 52 years ago, and his body was in a slightly better condition back then........... Anyway, the good news is that he can stand up, and he had his first hydrotherapy session last week, and actually was able to take a couple of steps!
Brian has now sold his pub in Yanco, (which is a good thing as it's underwater at the moment) and things are looking up. He asked me to thank everyone again for their generous donations, he said it really helped him and Ev over a very difficult period, and he will never forget the way you all went "above and beyond" to help a guy on the other side of the world.
He also asked me to apologise for him not replying here lately, he's somehow lost his wireless internet access, but he said he'll be back on net soon, and he's looking forward to yacking with you all again shortly. Well done guys, I'll post more pics after my next visit. Cheers, Terry.
