I think part of the problem was that it didn't knit properly to begin with, so they had to start again after a few weeks.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119443727504215312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596026357087182485.post-63007170731664777672011-10-06T03:28:06.048-07:002011-10-06T03:28:06.048-07:00It seems such a long time to be in hospital, glad ...It seems such a long time to be in hospital, glad that Thorpe Hall got him back on track.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705692916293482229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596026357087182485.post-64073449442296433032011-10-04T03:35:38.883-07:002011-10-04T03:35:38.883-07:00@Emma - I know, poor boy!

Made me laugh that he had to bike there, though!<br /><br />Ms Caroline - Can't imagine my son at the same age sitting making rugs and woollen scarves.

It seems unthinkable to me that it took almost a year for him to fully recover. These days, they would have patched him up and sent him home as soon as possible, with maybe a little PT. I agree with Emma - the healthcare sounds much more thorough!<br />On a side note, can you imagine the youth of today being kept in bed for months without TV/iPod/gameboy/DVD/internet entertainment? Boggles the mind.MsCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03623997911568143459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596026357087182485.post-57724879713274201092011-10-03T10:28:21.520-07:002011-10-03T10:28:21.520-07:00Oh no, it did get worse!
