> Hello to all
> 
> I have been off line for a while and want to explain what has happened in my 
> life over the last month and a half.
> 
> I'm back at the flat after more than 5 weeks away. I had a week's planned 
> holiday in the Cape to celebrate my grandfather's 81th birthday on Feb 17. I 
> stayed with a second cousin and it was so-o wonderful. The family treated me 
> so well and we had a good time. I was also able to see my father. He's 
> balancing better in the wheelchair, tries to walk short distances, able to 
> eat with a spoon and can say my name now - for the first time since the 
> stroke. I was also touched when he saw me get up and moved his feet so I 
> could walk between his chair and the coffee table. It's still a long road 
> back to full recovery attending the physical, water and speech therapy, but 
> there's progress and hope. My mother is about the same and finds it hard to 
> deal with the reality. I wasn't the only one visiting their house that day 
> so there weren't any private conversations.
> 
> I couldn't come back to the flat and had to stay with a friend for more than 
> 4 weeks. We had heavy rain in my absense. The roof leaks, therefore the 
> ceiling caved in and the electricity and wiring isn't up to standard.
> 
> Now that I'm at the flat I have more than 4000 emails to sort through. I am 
> still trying to catch up on email as the cellphone service was so slow in 
> the area where my friend lives. I kept being disconnected and nothing would 
> download for me.
> 
> My guide dog Cayla's not adjusting all that well to the route we have to 
> walk. She also wakes me several times during the night - to do a business 
> outside. She's taking antibiotics for an intestinal virus. She's very lively 
> and gets bored very easily indoors. She loved the stay on my friend's farm 
> and played outside most of the time. I'm a bit concerned that she might have 
> been placed out too young and don't know how she'll shape up. She'll be 2 in 
> June.  The guide dog school will send a trainer to work with us again.
> 
> The owners of the flat where I live aren't believers and treat me less than 
> desirable. They always find excuses why the roof can't be properly fixed or 
> replaced. I pray for a new place to live which will be safe and fit into my 
> small budget.
> 
> Now I apologise for this lengthy message and would appreciate your prayers 
> for my situation.

> Thanks for reading
