My dear David,
Don't feel like a jewel right now - must have CT scan tomorrow: seems I had a stroke - right leg all wonky - but can still walk - in fact I'll walk to the Hosp. Thd cost is 100% covered by Medicare, thank heavens. Just hope it will slowly repair - and yes, I do have an automatic car!!!!!!! (which I'm not allowed to drive) So now you can see - what a misery I can be, hey? Fond regards, janeD.-
Hug
You are so kind - yuou won't believe this, but thought I had a migraine (I get 'em) on Sat. - pain all weekend - too much codiene, so then bowel problems. Got up yest. & found right leg twisted in & "tingling" - seems I've had another stroke! Good I was not driving lately - Car Rego. & Insurance ran out 1st July! - old sailor mate called today, & will pay for me. THEN I'll see IF I can drive! If not - BIG problem. Hope you are OK der friend. Fond regards, JaneD.
