Re: Rob Page
Rob if your reading these, are the federation paying your subsistence whilst your in there. Cappy claimed his for years before they caught up with him, thats how he managed to start up in business. Wont mention the business he was in, the other one was just a front. Just think of 4 weeks as a short trip. Cheers John S

Re: Rob Page
next friday i will have been hospitalised for 11 weeks and am due out . This is like signing on a King line ship . the voyage is at half speed and takes three times longer than promised . the ETA is 12/12/2014 and my kids have the berth prepared . I will be downstairs living for a few weeks ad in a hospital bunk . As a rehabilitation hospital the physioythrapy is sadly lacking . We have made formal complaint to the Queen Alexandra hospital who manage this for Portsmouth Hospital Trust . The care team from the consultant to the cleaner are brilliant , the management disappointing . there are 22 people here and a physiotherapist three days ,last week . The poor management of facilties havng added six weeks to this trip . but i have found internet at last .
to John P thanks for the story of your own recovery :- inspirational
to Mrs G thank you for the emai,s too

Re: Rob Page
Hope you are well soon Rob. I got my son to visit you in the Queen Alexandra , but you had left to go to the other hospital when he went round there.
Hope you get better soon. I think my lad would agree on the management there.
Cheers
Brian.
