Coming Back (slowly)

Chris Hall107 Comments

Well, it’s been a strange time starting on the 19th June 2022. When, out of the blue, a haemorrhage stroke landed at my door. The next I knew, my brain has scrambled. Not great.

It’s taken many months, but I am on the mend.

However, now physically I’m brilliant. I am stronger and fitter (and beautifully thinner too). I am still improving my reading, writing and speaking, but still more time is required. It is so strange but it will be all right again.

Thank you very much, my friends from WordPress – so many who giving me support. Most of all, Cliff, my wonderful man, keeping me safe and sound. He is my soulmate.

And now you’ve seen me around and eventually I’ll be back properly.

  2. Sending you and Cliff all my love and wishes .
    You are indeed at the final stage of your rehabilitation.
    And , correct me if I am wrong, I believe that since you got lemons at your front door, you will make lemonade out of them!😉

    Denise, open up the champagnes🍾🍾🥂…Chris is back!💕

  4. Chris! 😀 Lovely to see you posting again! So glad to see you’re ‘getting there’! (I’m currently reading your *Song of the Sea Goddess*, so I’m still reading your words).
    See you when you pop over to my place, and here when you next post again! 🙂
    Great news on your new look, too! 👍

  9. Chris, I had no idea, but am so relieved to hear that you are recovering well. I appreciate that the road is a long – and sometimes – one, but you have my heart-felt wishes for a full recovery. I have missed reading you and hearing of your plans. It is good to know that you have plenty of love and support at home.
    My very best to you.

  11. I had not realized/known this had happened to you. And glad to read you are on the mend. We find friends from unknown places. Many (plus me) are looking forward to enjoying your talent again.
    Thank you for coming by my blog so often.

  16. Brilliant to read this, Chris, and your presence has definitely been missed about these parts. Good on you and Cliff, the pair of you stay tough and positive, ay?
    I tried to like some of the other comments (as they are all thoroughly likeable) but as always WP is being a pain, no changes there.
    BIG hugs, Chris! 😎😀😊

  17. So glad you’re feeling much better after such an awful ordeal. We’ll keep a fireside seat warm for your welcome back party 🙂 Take all the extra time you need to recover – glad the worst days are behind you.

  18. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve popped over to check if there was a post from you, Chris. SO wonderful to see this note from you and hear some good news about your progress. Yay! Keep it up, my friend. All the best to you.

  22. Like everyone else, I did miss your presence and wondered what had happened to you. So glad to hear that you are recovering and getting back to normal routine. Looking forward to reading your posts once again. 🙂

  25. Hi Chris, I am very happy to see you well enough to post. My husband had a mild stroke on 4 January caused by a virus that became encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) which caused a blood clot on the brain. We also went through a tough time as he had a seizure and was in ICU for 2 weeks and in hospital for longer. He is also recovering well and it has been quicker due to our good luck at him having the stroke and seizure in the doctor’s rooms. I think of you often and must read your latest novel. It has been a bit crazy for the past six months for me but hopefully some more peaceful time ahead.

  39. I didn’t know why you had stopped writing, and I had missed it, but now I get to say that I’m thrilled to hear about your recovery. It’s been nice to see your comments around the Six Bistro, and I’m looking forward to reading your writing again!
