After the good doctor had gone to the airport to fly back to Sweden, I spent the morning struggling with my upside down,  tea encrusted, laptop.  It was all very exhausting and in the end I abandoned the task.

I think this of  an appropriate  point at which to mention my current physical state at the end of this holiday.  I believe my right arm is very slightly weaker as there were occasions when towards the end of a meal I needed to be fed.  Legs, again, maybe just a little bit weaker but I’m still managing quite well with the gutter frame.  The main difference is in my breathing.  Real exertion is starting to leave me slightly breathless.  I will know better on this score when I go to Papworth Hospital next month.

Apart from that not much change
