Message Forty Four

Today the kind nurses of the Brain Injury Unit gave Elizabeth a great send off.  They made her a guard of honour with an arch of arms, and clapped and cheered her as she left the ward, pushed in her wheelchair by James, our friend from Derby.  He came to visit her today, not knowing that he had such a significant role to play.

She travelled the short journey down a long corridor to Ward 2, the Neuro Rehab Unit (NRU).  She has a small en-suite room with her old familiar bed that has travelled with her from Intensive Care.

Liz will miss her friends on BIU, and will need to return to see how the raffle sales are going.  A few days ago she was with Joe selling 'guesses of the name of the dog' in the restaurant.

Liz and James played Bananagrams.  Charlie and Jill came to see her in her new room.  I spent ages putting up her collection of over 100 cards and letters.

Liz continues to be in fine spirits and, if you ask her nicely, will demonstrate twitches in her left hand.

    Whilst reading this I had tears of joy and laughter about the raffle!
