Good evening. I haven’t posted on here for a while. A bit of a health update first. I have been for a DXA bone density scan. The scan showed that my spine density has decreased slightly compared with the last scan in 2018, while my hips have increased, so slightly improved. I won’t know the full results report until next week though. I have also had some fillings replaced on my teeth and also have wisdom tooth coming through. Consequently, my teeth are a little tender at the back where my tooth is cutting through.
Now for the general update. I have been reading all the comments on here, which mostly are pretty scathing, nasty and down right rude! I am not a horrible person. I made mistakes in the past, which we all do. The sad thing is though, that people just cannot let go. You ask them to stop posting on things, stop contacting you. Yet, they still carry on, whilst playing the card that they themselves, are being stalked and harassed by me. I don’t understand them sometimes. Whoever these people are, I feel sad for you, that you carry such bitterness and hold so many grudges. I hope one day, you find peace in yourselves.
on a more positive note, me and my friend Lynn, listened to an audio described film which always comes on around Christmas. Good Night Mr Tom, based on a novel. I love the heart warming story. About a boy called William, who is evacuated to the country during World war 2. He is with a very bitter man Tom Oakley. Well, we all see him as bitter at first, but as the film goes on, he softens, and becomes the boy’s adopted father. I won’t tell you much here, in case you decide to read the book, or watch the film. I warn you though, you may cry! I do, all the time! On another note, My friend Rachel, who has been there for me throughout Hereford days as well as rescuing me with her mother Getting me out of a traumatic situation in 2018, has recorded another accompaniment for me to a song, which I can now start learning. She is a very good pianist and I encourage you all to look her up. http://www.rachelstarritt.com
Thank you so much Rachel. You are a lovely person. Thank you to all who are still by my side through my good days and the bad mental health days. Thank you to the doctors and practice nurses who are still helping me with my health conditions. To the physiotherapist helping me with the exercises for my knees. Especially to my Cardiologist, dr H, for helping me with the pots treatment locally. As well as his wonderful clarinet playing! He is a very gifted person, with a posh voice. TO MY grandmother, thank you so much, even when you’re frustrated with me, for still being there for me. To everyone at the headway group. Thank you. Everyone still by my side, even if we don’t speak often, I have not forgotten you. I will never ever forget you. You know where I am if you want to speak.
Love you Annie! Big virtual hugs! I hope one day, we will meet! Come over to the isle of Man sometime! X.

I have no idea why people choose to attack Samantha. It seems to me that she is hounded by people who are stuck in perspectives that could and should be broadened about many subjects and on many levels.
The comment I left was from me and as the CEO of a brain injury organisation I am dismayed that anyone would question Samantha as regards our relationship or my unbending support for her.
No one should have to suffer this kind of duress and I am appalled to realise again today that Samantha is still subject to people who make a conscious choice to be overbearing and thoughtless.
Samantha has written a beautiful, open and honest blog – it inspires me! She deserves credit and kindness and I, for one, cheer our brave hero on and wish her every success.
My Grannie always used to say, ‘if you have nothing good to say, ponder on why and look to yourself about yourself.’
Assumptions do make people look ignorant and they can certainly give the impression of unkindness and thoughtlessness. People often base their judgements not only on their own experiences but also on their own bitterness or resentment.
The lesson here for people who struggle with clear and unbiased perspective is to look to yourself as to why you are struggling rather than projecting negative aspects of self onto others.
I have been seriously set back with health problems this year and sadly this meant I had to completely focus on my own healing. I am only just starting to make small steps to get back to work.
One thing is absolutely clear to me. My friend Samantha is as honest as the day is long, and has the sweetest soul.

Please refrain from using Samantha’s blog to air your views about me or about anything I say. Please also refrain from causing Samantha upset and discord by being negative here. Honestly, if you can’t be kind and supportive, then please go away!
