Tuesday, 18th of June 2013,
It was a day of walking and talking, wet weather gear outside as its cool and damp .... a top of 15C today. It was great to be walking, helps clear the mind, gets rid of all the clutter.
Met up with Liz, Bill and Ann for diner ..... didn't recognise them at first, then the fog cleared enough to place them in there appropriate box in my memory. I am remembering more and more ..... but names and faces don't seem to match, well not all the time.
We talked of the my event and how scared and anxious they were, luckily Bill and Ann are fluent in Spanish, Ann a retired nurse stayed with me and Bill phoned for an ambulance, as luck would have it a Mica Ambulance was in the town we were entering and was there in minutes (and here we are in the back blocks of Spain). A trip to the nearest Hospital, anti clotting drugs, stabilised and then off to Santiago for further treatment. Think I might have used up all of my lives on this one.
Nice to have some more holes in memory filled .... though still no personal memories of the event.
Then back to my accom at the rehab place, don't feel I need any more rehab, but insurance people insist, till I'm off there books .... I'm sure they would like to shift me off home and forget me, but no flying, so here I am.
The others (my walking companions) are around for a few days and then walk on to A Coruna, which will finish there intended walk and mine when I can continue.
