Gerry Hawkridge

[Guy Mayers]

I saw him last night before I headed for home. He is much improved and has been inundated with cards and visitors over the last few weeks. Whilst he remains weak through lack of movement he is now able to get himself out of bed (under supervision from nurses so he doesn't fall again) his appetite is returning and his speech is back to normal. ie nobody can get a word in edgeways... His memory is not back 100% but it is getting there, just the odd name/place he struggles with and the events of the evening he fell. It'll come back but we don't expect him back at work for a while yet.

That's all great news Guy,
Being in hospital is bewildering at the best of times, so Gerry can be forgiven for being a bit below par.

Gerry on 50% memory is still 100% more than most of us! Great news

Good news Guy. Thanks for the update and no doubt we all hope he continues his recovery in his own time.
