Jem was formally discharged from Stoke Mandeville National Spinal Injuries Unit on Friday 18th July at around 7pm. He has returned home to initially live within the main house whilst plans are agreed and the building work to strip and modify the Gym at the rear of the house into a 15' x 40' bungalow for him. The sauna and gym will be moved and re-established in the cottage at the front, which was our preferred Jem accommodation plan A, but is apparentky deemed too expensive due to the need to replace the asbestos roof!

Now Jem is home, I will update the main site blog (click through on Jem's picture) about once a month so that his progress is trackable and the trials and tribulations of the accommodation are shared, especially with those far afield in Africa, Canada, Australia and the USA! The earliest start date for building work is now said to be January/February as they have yet to go out for tenders and have only just got the plans agreed!  Joy!!
