This is the way it is


It might appear that life should have become easier for us upon Mel`s release from hospital, however this is not proving to be the case. We had a lovely few days in Rye, removed from reality. However the world of personal chefs and tea in bed is not where anyone other than a lottery winner or a Russian oil tycoon can stay for long. Still, not even an oil tycoon can buy health and mobility. Mel is going to have to regain what function she can through hard work and determination. Even with that her recovery will never be complete, she will be permanently disabled, it will always be making the most of what she has. We all take for granted we can move, walk, swim, jump, stand on tip toes.... The realisation that her fight has only just begun can sometimes seem overwhelming. Coming to terms with this will be a long and painful process.

We have just had a wonderful (and slightly drunken!) evening with the hosts of The Wood Vale Diaries, who have helped us believe that we can keep on moving forward and shown us that friendship and love will truly conquer all. Peace, Love, Respect and a massive thank you to WOOD VALE DIARIES!!!
