BT progress continues

Dragged myself away from some other ‘duties’ and had a nose around some haunts I don’t frequent as often as I should, and was pleased to see that there had been another very positive update posted on Billy Twigger’s recovery. Other than reflecting on the observation that almost a year has passed, as always, I leave the detail of the words to the source (posted on August 10, 2007)…

At the SGDO, several people asked about Ewan, but I didn’t have any more news at that time.

However, I received an email from Ewan’s Dad just yesterday, and this is what he says:

“Ewan continues to do well with no appreciable set-backs from when I last wrote. He is still in the Spinal Injuries Unit at the Southern General but the staff there are working towards getting him ready to go into a Care Home for a few months. That should happen some time this month but there’s no fixed date yet.

He has had three ‘outings’. The first was to the RSPB centre at Lochwinnoch, the second to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and the third, yesterday, to PC World at Finneston – all well organised and accompanied by a nurse and an occupational therapist.

Ewan has been doing great things with a computer. He has a very good tutor who has got him on to voice recognition software and this has opened up whole new possibilities. He has even been surfing the net and a session in the computer room is a tremendous fillip for him.”

So, good news! Visits from some of the cachers who know him may be appreciated in the not too distant future.

PS It’s almost a year since BT’s accident. It’s been a long slow road for him since then with a lot of setbacks, but things are looking much brighter for him now. His resilience, fortitude and positive outlook have been amazing
