Hi Sarsfield

Thanks for the message, I have read your profile and I would like to ask you how you comunicate now do you use a board or computer or something else.  We at present are using a white board but mums arms and hands are not that strong and she does not seem to write whole words yet and she can not say any words and its so frustrating for her and us.  Now the drugs for her pain have made her go la la and she does not seem to know whats going on.  I would of thought that a week after her operation she would be a bit better?  Anyways hows you and your lovely wife doing?  Would be lovely to hear back from you, by the way my name is Tracy and Poppy and Issy are my dogs.

Take care love Tracy xxxxx

Hi Tracy,

Sorry for taking so long to answer.

Im House bound, my wife Angela is fairly good at lip reading when she wants to be. If I do happen to go down the town the buses are really handy and if I have to do some shopping I make a list of the things I need and when I go into the shop ,point to the item no problem. If somebody comes to the house, that I dont want to come in I have an notice that says GO AWAY, and if I want  them to COME IN.my biggest problem that  your Mum will have to deal with is the phone..you just hope they leave a message on the answering machine.there is a voice enhancer called the Provox

but that dosent work for me as I have no Muscles left in my neck that I can use.if you google PROVOX  you will see what I mean. In the meantime I hope your Mum is getting on well,and you look after yourself. Its going to be very frustrating for you both.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs and Love Sarsfield.xxx
