One week on Already.

I just cant believe a week has gone by so quickly and the best thing is Gordon is still here.
He is a tiny bit stronger today and has got a bit of a snappy head on.
I couldnt do right for doing wrong and i said to him "Well Hello Mr Grumpy they say its a good sign when the patient starts to moan".
He gave me a little smile then and blamed the morphine spray.
I stayed with him for just over an hour then he started getting sleepy so we said night night and i came home.
I keep smiling tonight because he was so funny wagging his finger at me and blaming me for his pillows being uncomfortable to his dinner smelling horrible (it didnt by the way and he wouldnt touch it ).
When i look back to how this was playing out last week i am in awe of the change in him tonight.
I am quite pleased with myself too as ive stayed calm and tried to carry on with a good outlook which isnt usually me at times like this.
I have never done any of the buisiness side but have been thrown in at the deep end and with the help of the girls at the shop we seem to be doing ok finding where we pay this and how do we order that so thanks again girls i love you all like you are my own sisters.
Tonight i have finally worked out how to work the message machine on the telephone at home and have a weeks worth of phone calls to catch up with so i am sorry to everyone who thought i was ignoring them i will be in touch tonight or tomorrow.
I want to thank everyone again who has sent comments here they really do keep me going and i will photo copy them all and leave them with all the others ( in Gords locker ) for Gordon to read when he is up to it.
Am going to catch up with some of those phone calls now.
See you all tomorrow.
Love and smiles Rob xxx and some kisses for my two boys as well xxxxxx

  3. Can't believe it's been a week! Hope he's not Mr Grumpy when you visit tomorrow LOL, and I pray that he'll be able to go home soon.
    Gordon, if you read this, behave yourself and get well so you can stop being Mr Grumpy and be Mr Romantic and get things moving and organised :)
    hugs

  5. So glad to hear Gordon's feeling a little better and snappiness (is that a word?!) is most definitely a good sign.
    Hoping to hear of more improvements soon.

  8. Hi Rob,

    You are so funny. Knowing both you and Gordon in person I can just see the two of you and hear your voice as I'm reading your blog. It's lovely to hear Gordon is improving. It's funny how it takes something like this for you to realise how much you mean to each other. Apart from my stroke last November, my wonderful husband of 32 years had a stroke out of the blue several years ago. I took him to casualty and forced him through the doors because he thought I was making a fuss over nothing to be then told 5 hours later that he was in danger of having a major stroke and he could not leave hospital!! He made a full recovery and just has to take medication for blood pressure although a more laid back man you would be hard to find.

    Make sure you are looking after YOU Rob as Gordon will need you to be in good health when he comes home.

    As for the business side of things it's amazing what you can do when you need to LOL.

    Take care.Hugs to you, Gordon & Harry

    Love,

    Lynda
