freedom...

Well, I got a new laptop, and it didn't have all my old bookmarks on it, so I got out of the habit of blogging. But I have to blog today because MrPM has finally been told by DVLA that he's OK to drive :-)))))) He was very excited...

mrPM update

MrPM is home and back to normal. We both feel extra-ordinarily blessed that this has been the outcome. The possibility of less favourable outcomes was something we were both very aware of. So was he lucky? Or was it prayer? Or was it both at once?
I really don't understand how prayer works - I'm too aware of the times when it appears not to work.
So it's difficult knowing how to describe my feelings about our situation. Lucky? Fortunate? Blessed? Something alomg those lines, anyway...

mrPM

mrPM is currently in hospital, having had a subarachnoid haemorrhage (bleed into the brain). He's had the offending bit operated on successfully. He seems to be his normal self - when asked if everything was working OK, he replied "Well, I've not had a chance to test EVERYTHING yet.."
Seriously - arms and legs and speech all OK and memory and intellect seem fully intact too.
He's not out of the woods yet, though, it seems they can run in to problems at around a week after the event, so he'll be in hospital for another 10 days at least.
Everyone has been so kind, and knowing people are praying for us is helping alot.

knight in shining armour

Earlier in the week I was due to go to the Pantomime with the Guides and other Leaders. They'd organised hire of 2 minibuses to transport us all there and back. I was first to arrive at the meeting point. No sign of any minibuses waiting for us - they are usually outside ready for pick-up. I started to wonder if I was in the right place. Then another Guider arrived, so I felt a bit better... until she said 'Where are the minibuses?'
Off she went to get the keys, only to come back saying we only had one minibus (which was hiding round the back) as the other had an electrical fault. PANIC! How were we going to get the other 14 Guides to the panto? I had my car, another Guider had her car, a parent who was going was happy to take some girls, but that still left us a few spaces short. A quick phone call to mrPM and he agreed to be our knight in shining armour and take the remaining Guides.
He did get to see the panto (first he's been to in years) so there was some recompense for missing his tea (although I did give him a choccy biscuit at the interval).
Another step in my masterplan of turning mrPM into an honorary Guider ;-)
