I'm feeling great as well Jo, i'm looking forward to having my first drink on my balcony, mine will have to be orange and water tinx, i aint allowed fizzy drinks, or i wasn't 4 months ago, Heather, you wouldn't believe this place where i'm living, it's near the hospital where i was a patient, if you hear about the shootings in Manchester, 8 out of 10 will be places like Longsight, Ardwick, West Gorton and Moss Side, and i am right in the middle of them, i don't know if you would say i feel safe, but i've enjoyed living here, i'm just looking forward to going home, and hope that i don't go through what i have been through for the last 8 months again, i just wish i had a photo of what i looked like 4 months ago when i came out of hospital, it would be a reminder if i ever thought about going off the rails again, and i wouldn't like to put my kids through it again either, anyway Heather, thank you for the cards you sent me in hospital, it was nice to receive cards from someone i have yet to meet, see you soon.
