Hello, this is Dave - I've entered this on my PDA at the hospital - Linda's going to try and post it later tonight. Thank you all for your best wishes, you've all been wonderful. My right leg is working much better and I can get around with a stick, with a member of staff in tow - they may let me go solo soon. I have limited movement in my right shoulder and a little in the forearm, but my hand is still completely paralyzed.

PS from Essex Girl. Dave would like to have posted more but his PDA ran out of power and he can't charge it up in hospital. I'll take it back tomorrow and he can compose some more
