Hello, everyone. It's Sam here. Thank you all for your patience with regard to updates. I know that you'll all understand, as many of you have said, but it's been a very important couple of weeks focused on repair, keeping the mind as healthy as possible, and physiotherapy. Also, I hope the photo isn't too graphic - I've tried to obscure the left leg a little.
Firstly, I want to thank Christine. She knows, as I tell her often, but she is the main reason I have been able to maintain perspective and positivity. So many of you have extended your support to her, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart ❤️. If any of you were worrying, fear not. I am in the best hands possible. Thank you, Christine.
Next, I want to thank you all, of course. Where do I start? Has anyone else noticed the sheer quantity of love and support that's been sent our way? I am beyond speechless. We are. We're just two humble people, with simple needs, full hearts, and a lot of determination. But we're not so channelled that we can't be bowled over by your support and love. There is no other word for it: it's love. You have been gifting it and spreading it in a quantity that we've never seen before, and words can not begin to describe how grateful we are. Christine began the support page, and never in my wildest dreams would I have thought it would be so successful. It's all down to every one of you, and it's already making us breathe easier and help us know we'll be OK despite what's happened. Thank you all so, so much. Soon, we will somehow express our gratitude in a better way than through this message.
Finally, I suppose I shall update you a little on how things are this end. We are positive for the most part, as we always strive to be. 😊 but we also know that low points will come, and they are necessary so that we can even feel the good points. There is a lot of in-person support going on, as well as the incredible care from the staff at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. ❤️ Many of you have gathered that recovery is going to be slow, and that's proving true. My pelvis has been successfully fixed, as well as both ankles. There are complications with both legs, resulting in slower progress to full weight bearing on the left leg, but a further operation soon should hopefully help. The muscle graft is healthy and healing well. Pain is an obstacle 24/7, but my upper body remains strong and fit, bar a fractured wrist, so I can happily chuck myself about in that way! 😆 I am very driven and determined in my nature (just ask Christine) so have been advised to chill out a little by the staff when it comes to the rehab, but I am hopeful that we'll be in a better place soon. I am far from being able to walk, though I am able to use a wheelchair now, which has been fantastic for getting OUTSIDE, as well as having a little independence back, which I've loved. Like I know you all appreciate, this is a very slow process, and we're only at the beginning, but I hope you appreciate a little more detail in how things are here in Scotland.
All of our love is extended out to you all. Due to the quantity we've received, our hearts are brimmed, so we've got a lot to give. ❤️ Thank you.
As before, should you feel like supporting us just now and for the coming year of inevitable recovery, for which we have NO expectation of at all, then here are some ways you can do so. Thank you so very much.
