Father Christmas had treated the whole family to an Ed Sheeran concert at the Etihad Stadium. Ed told the crowed to make as much noise as possible, so I asked Maggie to make up for my lack of sound!

It was great to catch up with a friend who was also there, somehow we spotted each other through the large crowd. Ed was absolutely brilliant, a fantastic performance.
The only negative came trying leave, taking two hours to get out a supermarket car park. We didn't get home until 2am!

There has been a great deal of trauma within our family during the last seven years since my stroke. Judith and I have admitted defeat on our marriage.

I have a great deal of difficulty showing  my emotions and this also expresses itself in written messages too.As a result of my stroke I suffer from emotional liability, (common in stroke survivors) not only do I find it difficult to hold my emotions, but I sometimes laugh when I’m upset. I can also shriek and cry hysterical too! I also spent a long time finding it impossible to communicate. After that I could only blink or nod my head, eventually I was able to use the e-frame. (This was awful to use, often I would spell it wrong or the user would forget what I was trying to spell out! On one occasion I was visited in hospital by a bunch of football friends, we were talking about football players and I was using the board to communicate but try as hard as they could they just couldn’t name the exotic sounding surname “YOURESATONMYLEG” It was a revelation progressing onto the computer that I operated with my eyes.
