> 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
> Coco
As Always, Vicki
