Hi Keith
When you feel well the last thing you want to do is spend time in hospital,it was always a fight to get Slim there when I thought he needed to be checked over,you tend to think you know what is best,but I know from Slim there is a fine line between being well and being confused and he crossed it many a time.

Hi Helen
Well you must be feeling rotten ,I asked should Slim have all his childhood injections again,and was told,only needed them if he had donor cells,sounds if there might be a case for having boosters.
