Remarkably, despite being right-handed, from 72 onwards, he re-learned how to do everything with his left-hand. Recently, he has been in and out of hospital in Torbay a number of times – with NHS staff stabilising his health and allowing him to go back out “waving” in the Bay. However, the visits are becoming far more frequent and I have started to receive enquiries about his health – even from the local and national media! Typical of my Dad, (he taught us to always find a way through the current hardship), he is dictating the content of his latest posts to whichever family member is visiting him. Hopefully, he will rise again for one more good round – and demonstrate his mettle and grit yet again!
