Patrick Cardona and Clive Fuller from London have written a song inspired by Sarah. Patrick, aged 42, and 40-year-old Clive are now looking for a record producer to help them market the song, which is called Sarah. Anyone who would like to help can email Patrick at borgpanodrac@aol.com. Sarah says: I think it is wonderful that somebody would do a thing like this for a stranger. And I think the song is lovely.
I am amazed by the response I have had to my last diary. I have been getting messages from people I have never heard of. One couple contacted me from Australia because they are coming to England for a holiday and would like to meet me! I have another operation coming up and after it is over I will be taking some time out. But I will be bouncing back and down the pub with my friends soon – watch out Leicester, here I come! The last month has been quite hard for me and I have had some bladder problems, which have meant a catheter has been fitted. Also, because my throat does not work properly, I have to be fed through a tube in my stomach. The other day I was lying on the sofa with the food bag resting on my arm and my catheter bag resting on my leg. I could feel the cold food in the bag going into me. And I could feel my warm urine flowing into my catheter bag. So now I know what it is like to have hot and cold flushes! I have started to get cramp in my left leg, which has been keeping me awake at night. I can take quinine for it. But the other liquid I find quite useful is coffee – laced with whiskey. That really perks me up – but I only have one a day! |
