Thanks for that mate. I have told him not to get despondent and to give it another few months and he will start to feel better. It’s difficult for him when his norm was cycling up mountains and the like. It’s an awful thing and mrs s and I are concerned. You know what they say, a mother is only as happy as their saddest child :-(It was in the last month that I began to feel more like myself. I suddenly realised that instead of acute pain when I moved it was more a dull ache. For the past fortnight I have been on the minimum pain killer tablets. Plus staying awake for longer periods and tasting and smelling my food again.
For example today I did a click and collect order. Normally I have to have a rest in between carrying the groceries in to the house and unpacking but today I brought them in and unpacked and put them away before I sat down for my cuppa!
I’m a miser by the way. I do a delivery one week and C & C the next once a month (if that makes sense?) but I time it so that I get the delivery either free or 50p! And the C & C free.
Sorry that’s a long winded way of saying for 10 months I was in despair, trying to stay cheerful then the last few weeks beginning to feel more ‘normal’. I really feel for your son but tell him to keep in mind that ‘this also shall pass’.
I’m really sorry I can’t be any more help but everyone is different and I hope that youth will be on his side.
Really glad you are feeling better.
