Goafer Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The fact is, if a dog could get the chance it would be away, but cats still come back time after time Dogs will usually come home too. It differs from breed to breed I imagine, but they're pack animals, so won't stray too far from the pack. It's like when we take Indy for a walk. We let him off the lead and he runs off ahead of us, but he always looks back to check we're still there. If we turn around and walk away, he'll come bolting back and walk ahead of us again.

Serebii Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 My nan is starting to move her hand again. She's not noticed it, but she's slowly wriggling her index finger. She's got feeling back in it but it looks like she'll make a near full recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 yaaaay. Hopefully with a lot of physio and stuffs she'll get most of her function back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 yaaaay. Hopefully with a lot of physio and stuffs she'll get most of her function back The question is, will she be able to recover to a point that she can still live by herself though. She's a very independant person and she would really hate it if we had to put her in a home :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a very independant person and she would really hate it if we had to put her in a home :/ My grandma had a stroke very much like your nan had, she ended up living by herself for a very long time afterward. Don't give up hope yet, this is very good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I hope that's the case. I know she's hating every minute in the hospital. What gets me is how she always tries to put on a brave face when she looks at me, always smiling and all of it. She's not really like that with everyone else on visits, but she is with me...

She's a very independant person and she would really hate it if we had to put her in a home :/ very possibly... You'd be surprised how people adapt with disability! She's probably got a better chance than a lot of others at rehabilitation, given the positive signs you've had so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Yeah, considering she was sent to the Stroke Rehab Unit almost an entire week early, it's a good sign...especially as she had the stroke in the early morning and it wasn't until like 8 or 9 that my uncle went round to check after no response to phonecall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 ahh she's in stroke rehab then... genuinely the best place for her to be right now. I actually work with the community stroke rehab service in my job and they do stellar work. Lots of professionals trained specifically to look after stroke patients. And they have a lot of success with their patients too. Like you say she's improving day on day so there's a very good chance she'll get better, especially with her family there for support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fish Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Girlfriend get. There are slight...logistical issues given that she lives quite a long way away from me at the moment, but, hey, it's a step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Girlfriend get. You know how sometimes you open several threads in different tabs and just read them without really paying attention to which thread is which, but it's okay, because you can figure out which thread you're in just by reading the posts? Yeah, so, 'good stuff thread' was not the thread that came to mind when I read Raining's and Ashley's posts about what they have bought/plan to buy. And... congratulations, I guess? I'm not sure if that's the appropriate reaction to news like that. Maybe a high five would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murr Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'm going Gorilla hunting on Sunday there are 60 model gorillas scattered around Bristol to celebrate the 175th birthday of Bristol Zoo. in particular I want to find the following... and there is also a Blackbeard gorilla too that I wanna see, its opposite the Llandoger Trow which was a bar that Blackbeard apparently use to visit back in the days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llandoger_Trow to say I'm a little excited would be an understatement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Oo so a bit like those banana cow things that were around Liverpool couple of years ago? Have fun!

Fierce_LiNk Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I've been neglecting my bass guitar for a very, very long time. Well, I'm coming back to my baby now and have been playing it quite a bit today. I've ordered some new strings for it and a lead to connect it to my amp. I had a lead, but it must be in Newport/n00bport or something. It's nice to get into it, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
