According to specialists Simon is remarkably doing well. He's lost now 30kg and is eating / drinking the bare minimum. I guess it's up to him whether he wants to speed up recovery and looking after himself.
I, have been in a lot of pain and pushing myself too much and above all forgot to look after myself. Now I'm struggling with degenerative arthritis in my spine, prolapsed disc and neurological pain that may cause irreparable damage to my spinal cord and legs facing spinal surgery.
To be honest my feelings are ll over the place. A bit much to take in �. Simon cancer and myself possible spinal cord damage �
Trying to keep it together. Thanks again to all of you.
