Thanks for all the kind wishes. Please don’t think me rude that I haven’t responded individually. I still find messaging quite an effort. Your words are very much appreciated.

Hi! I have been wondering how you are getting on, as we work through our own health issues. Sending best wishes and hoping writing is helping you as it is me. Jill x
Improving slowly. Not steadily, but mainly in the right direction. I finally had a chat with my GP where he was a little less vague. He told me that it isn’t something GPs see every day, but in his experience the recovery period after discharge is between 6 months and a year. With some older patients, and depending on the severity of the septic shock and other factors such as speed of treatment, it may be more like 2 years. And I have to understand that a few things may never be back as they were. I feel positive though. The morning after I came back I was too frail to pull the quilt back over the bed. Now I walk along the coast most mornings. Nothing like as far as I did before, but I’m taking it steady. Thanks very much for asking. Oh, and yes, writing does indeed help.
How are things with you?
