Update time Koz,

Still in hospital. Dr told me this morning that I'll be here until mid-week then off to rehab. For what she called, the real work.
Right now, I can walk about 30 ft, before I get light headed and BP starts dropping. That ain't gonna get me outta this stuff.
So, im prepared mentally, for a long fight back.
I just hope my body is prepared as well

Thanks for all the thoughts and vibes,
Koz

That blood pressure drop problem is worst before it’s diagnosed. I am very sorry you had such a bad fall and I’m very glad you’re getting help now.

For what it's worth - years ago, while I was still teaching, my dad died. We had been estranged for years, and his death was especially difficult. I took the bereavement time off to deal with it all, and one day, i had an overwhelming sense of peace, calm and comfort. It was then that I knew my colleagues at the university where I taught were sending love, light and peace. I will never forget that.

Love and compassion can do wonders. You are not in this alone, Koz. I hope you feel the same strength I felt that day. We are with you.

the ones I got two years ago. They pushed me but also knew when to let up. And they listened.
