Thanks Jo,

We may look into the electric pulse thing if it doesn't get any better. Phil is hoping he will be able to block it out more when he is feeling better and gets busy doing things again. Phil finds it most noticeable when he is sitting or lying and doing nothing so hopefully once he is moving more it will fade from his mind a…[Read more]

Hi Peggy,

I hope you start to feel better soon and that the rest of your stay in hospital goes smoothly.
