The Latest from Royal London

Been to see Neil today. He was in pretty good spirits. Obviously had a few down moments but is very positive. He wants to be able to jump out of bed and run around the ward! He is disappointed he cannot do this. It is going to take time and he has come to realise this now. Neil is very alert and has a prime position in the ward, watching all the comings and goings along the corridor (he's always been quite keen to watch what's going on). He is having physiotherapy every day and was able to stand briefly today and sit in a chair. His room mate keeps going for a wander and has to be returned back to his bed - poor chap - he's Polish and cannot understand what they are saying to him. Back up to see Neil again tomorrow so will update everyone then.
