Simon has recently been dreaming that he was the physio in charge of the Swifts Ladies netball team, another fantasy was that he was their kit manager. It was no surprise today that he watched most of the Vixens vs Adelaide Thunderbirds netball final. I am not entirely sure that he had his eye on the ball....
Simon had been out in his chair for around three hours, and although this is tiring, he is much more comfortable when he gets back to bed. He continues to eat and drink well, almost pouncing on food when it arrives. He has got the hang of picking up his own drink and using the straw by himself. Less chat than yesterday, but much of it understandable. He told me he was English today. Simon still has his 'Bill and Ben' language (flobalob) which I can sometimes understand with the help of intonation and hand signals. I have to guess a great deal.
Simon seemed cheered up at the news that Mel (our niece) is coming home in a couple of week's time. They share a passion for high-end shopping, and I suspect he feels he has an ally there (I am the frugal type - what's wrong with Op shops!).
We just received a text message that Asher has been in hospital. Get well soon, Asher!

Great to hear of Simon's new interest in sport, although it probably has more to do with lechery than athletics! Went to see 'The Producers' stage show yesterday "A Gay Romp with Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgaden". Brilliantly funny, rude and non pc! God Bless Mel Brooks. Simon always reminded me of him. Ask him about his fantasy first date with Ann Widdecombe. I am really pleased to hear that his appetites are returning.

Hi Marian
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that Simon continues to make steady progress to recovery. Please say 'flobalob' to him from me. Asher is now out of hospital ( ...he came out this morning) - fears of appendicitis proved to be a false alarm. I can't wait to hear Simon's first date fantasy about Ann Widdicombe ...I'm sure we've all been there...
Love Tom

I guess this is a bad time to bring up the conversation Simon and I had recently in which he was enthusing about Rolex?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that his hormones are working fine...
