Late morning a doctor's visit to Bronwyn confirmed last week's inference: the were happy to be sending her home. Bronwyn and I agreed I'd go on the first day of a two-day course I was scheduled to attend today, while keeping my mobile on and checking in regularly during the day. That left me down in Guildford, so by the time I arrive home Bronwyn had been brought home and was being looked after by yesterday's “food angel”...

We now know the MRI originally booked was definitely cancelled. With Bronwyn continuing to improve a little each day, I guess I'm now not feeling so concerned about this. Bronwyn's still not anything like 100%, but it is good to know she's on the improve. She says she's realised now this isn't like the 'flu, and she's not just going to wake up and feel instantly better one morning... [Eureka!] The doctors have agreed to refer her for an outpatient review with a neurologist, which can be cancelled if we feel it is not required. We'll see what comes of that.

In the time Bronwyn has been unwell it has been wonderful to have the support of family and friends, including people from our church here and workmates. We've felt well looked after—thank you everyone. It may be a little while before we can respond to all the emails and the comments on the website but they are much appreciated.

I have to say that if Bronwyn had to become unwell, I've realised the timing was good, actually. Just as she will be getting back on her feet it will be the summer break and she'll have an enforced further six weeks off work (at least). Considering Bronwyn's work ethic, I'd have say that's probably just what the doctor ordered.
