nigel 1,876 #22 Posted February 10, 2022 I spoke to him a couple of days ago, he’s definitely on the mend 1 Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #23 Posted February 20, 2022 Spoke to Chris this afternoon. Sounds in good spirits. He's had speech therapy and is talking better. Still got that strange southern accent though. He can now bend his left arm more and tough his face. Starts physio' tomorrow. Long way to go though but he's in the best of places at Heywood Heath. His friend Steve drives Pam to see him and his son Steve calls in to see her after work. So both are being looked after. 2 nigel and pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan 1,273 #24 Posted February 20, 2022 Phoned him on Thursday. Said he was being well looked after. Good food and plenty of tea. Looking forward to getting home though. 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
