Seven weeks to the day
Body
Seven weeks to the day, my request for a post mortem for David was finally released: the result was A Traumatic Head Injury, which maybe sounds a bit more understandable to most than the Sub Dural Hemorrhage which I was expecting, but there you go!
The one thing that David would never be able to do was his own post mortem, however many others he had done over the years.

Sorry Neena, David did fall on....
Sorry Neena, David did fall on the floor below where I was working: I heard the fall: that is what I meant when I said I heard the slump. He must have had another sub arachnoid haemorrhage, which means a bleed in the next layer of the brain. If severe this can kill you outright, sad, but for David better than ending up brain damaged.

Oh Sarah
Dear Sarah,
terrible thing to happen. And maybe he hurt his head badly with that fall. Many decades ago I suffered a double fracture in my leg just after a fall at home! was in plaster for 12 weeks and on crutches for many months.
Sometimes it is the angle of the fall. Did he hit his head against something, maybe some furniture?
Life can change forever in the flash of a second. How are you coping? Take care.
In India the vaccination roll out for Covid has started in earnest. Next 10 days or so I will be up for the first dose!

I am 76 years old. My daughter-in-law was diagnosed with MS and we are all very keen for her to start this new antibiotic treatment. We hope to be able to do this in the next couple of weeks by finding a doctor willing to deal with any issues like reactions that may crop up. My daughter-in-law is 43 years old.
I have been an active poilitical journalist most of my life and have felt for a long time that there must be a cure out there for MS which the medical community has largely ignored. I am very excited by the Wheldon protocol.

Neena I will have to tell you that a sub arachnoid
Neena I will have to tell you that a sub arachnoid haemorrhage is caused by bleeding onto the surface of the brain and the most common cause is a weakness of the arteries right outside the brain.
This can sometimes be caused by a severe head injury or most often a weakness of the arteries. Because it has happened twice, a weakness is the most obvious cause.

dear dear Sarah
Dear Sarah'
But how could David have had a traumatic head injury if he did not fall? You would have known if he had hurt himself badly in the head. I dont understand.
Must be so very difficult for you not to know what exactly happened. My thoughts with you in these difficult times. Take care
