Last night I felt much better after, Richie told me the good news that finally there seemed to be some progress.
Really brilliant, and just when I was starting to lose hope that there was any perspective of there being any signs that the healing was carrying on.
Initially it looked like it would be healed very quickly, when Richie mentioned this on 22 February, I have a sinking feeling listening to his words.
It reminded me too much of January 2010, when I had been sitting for just six weeks, a new cushion for the shower chair caused so much friction that the pressure sore scar was ripped open.
At the time, Ton, the wonderful nurse from the rehabilitation clinic, said that it won't take more than a couple weeks to heal.
Then I was in bed from 14 January until the end of April, and then I sat for about 10 days before the scar burst open again.
This kept happening every two weeks, and then I would have to stay in bed again until it was healed.
This went on until August 2010 and when finally it was closed and I could sit in my wheelchair again.
So hearing Richie tell me that it wasn't much, and it would be healed very quickly filled me with dread.
The thought of being in bed so long again, filled me with dread, so Richie’s news last night was the best I had heard for sometime.
Then I just saw that the best music program Later with Jools Holland is back on BBC 2 TV for a new serie, suddenly life is even better.
