I'm a stone lighter now so less of a forum member than i once was.

It's nice to see that despite the seriousness of the illness you have retained your sense of humour, Steve.

Further to my last post here I was admitted to hospital on the 13th with a rare illness called Guillain Barre Syndrome and only came home last night. I didn't sleep for ten nights due to agonizing pain and even strong painkillers and sleeping pills ha d no effect. Back at home now and getting slowly better. It means I missed last week's Sunday Post and i'm not sure I'll have the strength to go out tomorrow. Didn't eat at all either so am now a bit thinner.

I'm still here. Still in pain though and haven't been out as am unsteady on my feet. Haven't been to bed for over a fortnight as lying down makes it more painful. Looking forward to a pint of beer when its all over. Mum and sister are looking after me. I'm a stone lighter now so less of a forum member than i once was. One of the symptoms is my face has frozen so i can't smile and chewing food is difficult as mouth won't work and speech is slurred. I look like a drunk without the benefit of imbibing.

Thanks for all your kind wishes.

I am sorry for not saying anything sooner, Steve. Fingers and toes crossed on your full recovery.

I haven't been to bed for four weeks now having to sit on the sofa all night. Docs say condition could last three months before it starts improving. Pie and mash shop has issued a BOLO for me. It certainly makes you appreciate a normal healthy life. Sad to have missed all the Wor Nicky strips as my sister, who is looking after me, needs a rest on Sundays so cannot get the Post for me.
