So as many people will now know Yvonne and myself despite the best efforts back in 2019 were unable to get the business back up and running.after the fire.
Thrown off by the landlord.
Stitched up by insurance brokers errors and under writers.
We kept staff on full pay whilst trying to get set up sadly had to make them all redundant.
During 2019 I myself battling with my GP surgery March onwards to get treatment for my legs .
Suffering from severe bilateral leg cramp like spasms, ulceration to both legs.
GP surgery making them worse ended up being hospitalised in November 19 with severe maseration to the skin on both legs below my knees.
The consultant at the time actually thought I had gangrene and may have to amputate both legs below the knees
Lucky after getting out of hospital NGH Luton dermatologists took over the care of the legs and thankfully I still have both intact.
Yvonne had to undergo bilateral hip replacement surgery during the lockdown . Amazing treatment and results from the professional people at Banbury Ramsey health care centre.
Forced to sell our house and move away from Northampton we now live in Lancashire.
Purchased a property, started to renovate it .
It's not much but a humble place we will call home.
Before moving from Northampton Yvonne was having stomach issues and pain as was her sister Angie.
Extremely concerned about bowel cancer as their mother died from bowel cancer aged just 44 they both were trying to get sorted out through the GP surgery.
Yvonne could only get one telephone appointment before we moved away.
Well Yvonne and myself only here in Lancaster for three weeks and our new surgery diagnosed her as having a**l cancer, she's had to have a calostomy bag fitted, now has a hernia, had radio therapy and chemotherapy treatment last year and so far has had a second all clear from the cancer.
Medical professionals here at Highfield surgery, Blackpool teaching hospital and Preston hospital have all been nothing but absolutely fantastic.
Our storage unit was broken into and sadly Northampton police not interested in any way.
Despite bloody finger prints all over the scene.
Poor Yvonne had her massive collection of rare Disney snow globes stolen out of almost 120 we now have less than ten most of them were wedding anniversary, birthday and Xmas presents milestone markers .
Still battling with insurance companies over that issue. the cost of the losses believed to be well way over the £10 k mark.
With Yvonne getting over her cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy I'm working in a full time job at a dealership.
Two Saturdays ago (06/05) I have a massive siezuure.
End up taken to Blackpool Victoria hospital in ambulance in for over a week, living in a delusional state of mind thinking that Russia and or North Korea nuked us on the day of the kings coronation ceremony. believing that I was being held in a computer simulation post nuclear holocaust for my own safety and that of others.
An extremely frightening point of my life.
Much of the time I'm unable to even see.
It now transpires that the leg cramp like spasms were not simple night cramps as diagnosed by the GP surgery but as ambulance service paramedics in Northampton had already stated something more sinister underlying.
It now transpires that a blow to my head a few years ago that left me knocked out has infact lead to a massive siezuure bought about by a brain tumor that's been slowly growing and developing on my frontal lobe.
The neurologist team have told me it's what has been causing the severe leg spasms siezuures and vision issues first thing in the morning.
As a vehicle diagnostic technician at least I have answers to both my leg spasms siezuures and vision issues.
Sadly it's a great shame the GP surgery doctors refused to accept my thoughts as a vehicle technician that it all started when I hit my head and knocking myself out
It's also a great shame the GP surgery diagnosed Yvonne's sister Angie last year as suffering from severe anxiety and suffering hyperventilation attacks.
She arrived here last year at ours having been told about Yvonne's cancer diagnosis.
She was struggling breathing I told her I thought she had a blood clot in her lung.
Apparently that morning before setting out to us she had been to see the GP and was told hyperventilation just breathe in to a paper bag or cupped hands to help control your breathing.
Less than a week later she's back home and dead died from bilateral pulmonary embolism aka blood clots to the lungs.
Now I'm eagerly waiting for my own brain tumor operation and optermistic that it resolves my siezuures and vision issues.
I'm also hoping to get out and make a full recovery.
I still feel like we let all our customers down by not being able to get the business back up and running.for which I really am sorry for.
It's like our luck ran out with the sudden death of our lucky charm that soft fluffy white and ginger cat we called Angel, .
They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger .
Currently the body isn't feeling so strong after the siezuure.
Head trauma not to be taken lightly
