Sadly we had to put Van down yesterday. She was a big part of our lives for 11 years.
We were a good pair in the end. Me with my #ankle and Van with her sudden loss of mobility to the point of not being able to use her back legs. Robyn had her hands full with both of us! Her home visit was very timely.
Retired in April 2017 after a long career in cardiac nursing which I loved, I find my life has totally changed. After almost loosing my husband last August to a dissecting aortic aneurysm complicated by a massive watershed stroke post cardiothoracic surgery, we are adapting to a very different life together. This is our now story. Update, November 2025. Chris continued to do well until he had a stroke in August 2018. This time after 2 weeks on life support with no sign of improvement he passed away peacefully with the family present. RIP Chris, much loved and missed.
