beside the seaside again
Barrie made it to Kent again this week-end and
although he was experiencing some problems with his
pelvis, which some what worries him, he managed to
get to the local barbers and have a "proper" haircut
for the first time since the accident. Another
milestone of trivia one might say but for Barrie he
was very happy to be looking respectable again. More
in store next week-end when he will venture out to a
black tie dinner party at the RAC in Pall Mall this
will also be a first social even since the accident !
Photos to follow next week........ !
beside the seaside
Off to the Coast
Very
sorry if you have been trying to log on in the
past few days but there was a serious problem
with the server and the blog was down for about
four days [and nights !]
As the week-end approaches Barrie is about to take his first trip to Kent with out the tubes and pipes he has had attached for the past eight months,
This might seem a simple 75 mile car journey with Barrie's wife doing the driving but........ for him it will be an adventure. let's hope it all goes well and by Monday we might see some pictures from the seaside.
Munday on Friday
Further to a trip to London Bridge Hospital on Friday the 13th March Barrie found that the date was not at all unlucky for him.
After much deliberation between Dr.'s it was decided to pull the last tube in his body, leaving him tube free for the first time in over eight months.
Wow, what a relief it must be for him after all that time, maybe at last there just might be a very small light at the end of the tunnel !
There are still some issues to be addressed plus the inevitable rehab and physio to get him moving with out those crutches.
Steve Hanson the Orthopaedic surgeon who visited Barrie last week advised him to start to wear normal shoes for a couple of hours a day, so the Airboot leg brace might be redundant soon.

Munday on Monday
Small but positive progress indeed. Barrie will be meeting with Professor Munday on Monday for final urological tests and a result of the previous operation.
Hell to Heaven in eight days
Barrie has been out of London
Bridge hospital for 8 days now and although his
surgery wounds have been very painful, he is
seen here making a recovery at his son Max’s
house together with Marie-Therese and Dollie on
the occasion of Dollie’s birthday dinner.
Barrie’s healing progress will be monitored by Prof.Anthony Mundy on March the 10th further to some x-rays, if positive there will be some fast improvements expected.
Dr. Steve Hanson the orthopedic surgeon who operated and rebuilt Barrie’s left leg is due in London on the 3rd of March and will inspect the progress and decide when the air boot cast can be at last discarded……….. all this is indeed very positive, so Barrie keep hanging in there , you are nearly at the top of the hill, it is all down hill after that !
