Hi Sue
I am still positive that there is light at the end of the tunnel. At the moment my husband is still in hospital as his psinal wound is still slowly healing. I am spending Christmas with my son, daugher in law and my 2 granddaughters. They have been a great support for me.
Have a nice Christmas in New Zealand and god bless
