Subject: RE: Peter Twitchett (Waddon Pete)-illness From: Waddon Pete Date: 07 Oct 13 - 07:06 AM Thank you all for your encouragement, and thanks Bounty Hound John for your reminder about the Oxjam weekend. I am looking forward to it, but will need a seat during my performance. Only some of the jokes are awful, Bonnie! Seriously, it is a great help to know folks are rooting for you. Mudcat is a wonderful thing (sometimes!) Best wishes, Peter |

Subject: RE: Peter Twitchett (Waddon Pete)-illness From: Waddon Pete Date: 03 Oct 13 - 10:16 AM Hello. I notice that it is over 2 months since there was an update here, so I thought I'd let you know what has been happening. First an update for those who haven't yet read the entire thread. There I was, chugging along quite happily when my life suddenly hit the buffers. It was something over which I had no control. However, I am now able to type (with the great assistance of Mr. Spellchecker) and beginning to feel more like my old self. It is a slow old business but I am happy to report that I am slowly improving and following a determined regime of exercises that keep me busy. I can now drive (short distances) and am walking (with a cane). I don't go that far when I walk, however. I have also battered my recalcitrant fingers into playing some of my guitar accompaniments although the faster, more complicated accompaniments are still in abeyance. Friends up this way have also encouraged me to go to some sessions and Pete Allison got me to play at Swaffham Free Festival, so life is slowly returning! I hope all is well with you. I am very grateful to everyone for their continuing support. What a bunch! Best wishes, Peter |
Subject: RE: Peter Twitchett (Waddon Pete)-illness From: Girl Friday Date: 16 Jul 13 - 11:39 AM Great stuff Pete. Keep on keeping on. Bet the beer went down vwery well in this heat. |
Subject: RE: Peter Twitchett (Waddon Pete)-illness From: GUEST,SussexCarole Date: 16 Jul 13 - 08:44 AM Great to hear of your progress Pete. Bet that beer tasted good! |
Subject: RE: Peter Twitchett (Waddon Pete)-illness From: Waddon Pete Date: 16 Jul 13 - 05:42 AM Yes, this is true, although it must be said I only was able to go for an hour and I croaked rather than sang! The folks there were very kind and didn't throw anything. The beer was lovely...well worth waiting for. Trevor keeps an excellent pint. Luckily the pub is only about 500 yards away from my front door or I would not have been able to make it there so easily. Best wishes, Peter |
Subject: RE: Peter Twitchett (Waddon Pete)-illness From: ChanteyLass Date: 13 Jul 13 - 12:18 AM Hooray! |
Subject: RE: Peter Twitchett (Waddon Pete)-illness From: Rusty Dobro Date: 12 Jul 13 - 04:03 AM Apparently Pete was at his local session on Wednesday night and was able to sing a song. Great news. |

Subject: RE: Peter Twitchett (Waddon Pete)-illness From: jacqui.c Date: 09 Jul 13 - 04:33 PM Missed this! Good thoughts coming from Maine. |
Subject: RE: Peter Twitchett (Waddon Pete)-illness From: Waddon Pete Date: 09 Jul 13 - 02:34 PM Just a quick update from the pen of Pete himself, rather than family members. Life is a round of blood tests, physio and blood pressure taking at the moment. It changes your perspective. Typing is interesting too. Lots of mistakes to correct! Thanks to everyone for their good wishes. I am moving around (slow shuffle) and getting more feeling back in my hand. Hopefully manage to get to the village pub soon. Peter |
