Fascinating insight into how the drugs, or other factors also affected your sight / memory spatial awareness! You express do well the exhaustion you felt and Kim’s determination is legendary!

It felt like climbing Everest. Actually I think Everest might have been the easier challenge!

Dear Jacqui. This is so intense. I just want to hug you and Kim. You are a born writer.

Hej Kristian - it is such an insane story. If I hadn't been through it I wouldn't even believe it could happen. It's so lovely that you're reading along and thanks from both of us for the hug! We won't tell anybody about the money I paid you to say that about me as a writer! ;o)

Goodness, Jacqui. The disorientation was so intense. Reminds me of those inversion glasses that make everything look upside down.

Absolutely Wendy - it was like being in some sort of surreal nightmare. Utter disorientating and I don't think I'll ever wipe those images from my memory.
