Rachel's
Birthday
 We met Rachel and Miff, Andrew and
Edward, Steve and Chris (Rachel’s parents) and Adrian (Rachel’s brother) in
Prezzo, Royal William Yard, Plymouth to begin
celebrating Rachel’s birthday. We enjoyed a good meal then spent time catching
up. So much has occured...............
   Andrew
tries not to laugh but his two grandmas have other ideas.
   We try the same with Edward. I am eternally grateful to be sitting here with
family and friends after my ‘bag of marbles’ event in December 2016 – the
surgeon warned that I had had only a few days left before things got incredibly
serious.
Steve was way, way closer than me.
On the 8th of January 2017 he
returned from a run and slipped away in his chair. The quick action of Chris
phoning for an ambulance and performing CPR kept him alive until help arrived.
Arresting in the ambulance, straight to Cath Lab on arrival to Derriford, he was
admitted to ICU and placed in an induced coma. The 11th of January things were
becoming more serious. On the 12th he rallied and was breathing by himself.
Discharged on the 20th of January and today, we were chatting and laughing as if
this more than incredible story had never happened. WOW. Nothing short of
miraculous.
We all went up to Devil’s Point for a
bracing bimble and then back to Rachel and Miff’s for a cuppa.
ALL IN ALL HAPPY
TIMES
SO PLEASED EVERYONE WAS
