I'M ON THE MEND. THAILAND RETURN

Thanks for all your kind messages.

[@clarkgaither]

Hi Eddy. I'm a family physician. The speed and extent of recovery of your right arm and leg will depend on how hard you work to bring them back. You must work with them every day, all day, not just when the physical therapist shows up. Get a tennis ball and squeeze it constantly. Move your arms and legs around while in the bed. Flex your foot and bend at the knee and hip every ten minutes. You can literally re-wire your brain around the damaged areas but you must work at it. All my best, my friend.

[@billyjohnson9166]

Thank you Doctor for that. It's nice to hear.

[@taxitoloei2055]

Please heed this advice Ed. You’ll be back in Thailand if you do 🎉🎉

@@ujazz09 you don't want it. many die for inadequate preventative medicine. Only works when you are dying and many times it was to late. You remember when he said it took them 1 week to get a MRI after being medivac into the UK? That should have been immediate. Even in Thailand he got a few MRI's with no hassle. How much did the tumor grow in that 1 week? it's just awful. Great Dr's if you can get prompt care.

[@thephilippinesforus]

Keep positive Ed. I’m a young 35 and you influenced me years ago, 2016/17 to find the travel bug. I did. I’m now married to the love of my life and living in a country, you didn’t prefer much, haha, the Philippines. We love traveling Thailand and Cambodia. Thailand is our home away from home. All thanks to you and a fella by the name of Kev, who is no longer with us. I’m glad to see you still are with us. I guarantee you’ll be recovering and getting back to the travel in a years time. Most Physicians say a more negative prognosis so that when you exceed the ‘expected,’ only positivity can come from it. Keep strong my friend. 👍

Great progress, Ed! Well done and keep at it - physical therapy sessions and you being vigilant with the prescribed exercises in between therapy sessions is the key. I saw my mother recover from a serious injury in her late 70s by staying on top of her sessions and exercise. You can do it! All the best. - Mark O

[@wesleywyndam-pryce4081]

Good morning, Eddy. I'm glad you're doing well. The body works in mysterious ways keep the positive mindset. The brain adapts and creates new pathways that's a fact the more you use and feel the more you will move. Movement is key. Maybe ask for one of those squash balls the small ones from physio to squeeze hand when you can there called stress balls I believe and build strength

[@cryptoslacker-464]

Good ideas 💡

[@JohnMitch]

Great Idea about the squish ball, take note eddy

[@alanhalse877]

Good to hear the positive news Eddie - hope your recovery is well on the way. Your travels inspired me to get out and about, rather than sit on my backside. I’m 73 and retired 6 years ago. I do keep very fit which helps. Each year I spend 4-6 months, mostly in Thailand and Vietnam, from April to October. I’m from Melbourne where our winter is those particular months. I’ve been in Thailand for over 3 months now and heading to Vietnam tomorrow for a few weeks exploring. I’ve met so many people and my life has improved immensely. I owe this mostly to you for the inspiration of your travels. Thank you and get up and out soon. 👍👍

[@MrSuprastarr]

[@pauleastwood2318]

Great news Eddie thank God you are on the mend mate all the best and wishing you a speedy recovery

[@jackoneil3933]

Great news Eddy, you made my day! I mentioned when you were in Thailand I thought this would be ok, and later after the last surgery when you said you had tingling on your right arm, I mentioned it could be a good sign. It looks like the neurological effects could be due to the nerves being effected by the swelling and inflammation rather than destroyed, and why time is of the essence in treatment. I spent over a year in stroke and neurological care and rehab units after my mother's botched brain surgery and from what I observed, when people have such a rapid and pronounced recovery it's a good sign that they may regain function. From what I recall, the majority of recovery from brain injuries occurs between 2 to 8 weeks, and then further recovery in months and years to come.

[@kenwarburton2578]

Good to see you recovering well Eddie and thinking positively about the future. Your recovery has been very quick, and although you have a way to go, your movement in the arm and leg, plus your speech have all improved significantly. Long may this continue Eddie, so good luck to you mate!

[@LaoshiChristine]

Since you got to the UK and had your op you have improved so much, its great to see how you have improved since when u first went in hospital in Thailand, it didn't look good tbh with you. U could barely talk your friend had to do the vlogs with you, and yes u were paralysed down your ride side. Also I presume u were drugged to the eye balls in the hospital in Thailand they didnt really do anything else tbf. I think its good to set goals but not something that maybe out of reach, as u say you will cross that bridge when u come to it. Most important thing is to focus on getting better and going home to recup. Still praying for you mate, from another scouse mate, take care, looking good mate, btw you look good with the beard, cpt Birdseye lol.

Looking at the muscle loss in your right arm compared to left shows you need lots of physio. .. your leg is probably needed too. Hope you get sorted out first. I know little eddy is saying "let's go now" but keep him on hold ... with your left hand. If he does insist you go then suggest to him 3-6 months there then return home for your checkups. Remember what they told you in thai hospital and everybody saying you where in the best place??? It's an infection and need antibiotics.. get yourself 100% right first here edward.

Wishing you all the best. But with a malignant brain tumor, there is a 99.9% chance of reoccurance. Hope not for your case, but be cautious and have plenty of scans. Also, take chemo and the like if they offer it to increase your chances of extended longevity.

I don't want to burst your bubble mate, but I'm guessing you're going to need a course of chemo. You need speak to doc about this before you make too many travel plans in your head.
