edwyn collins progress report

his wife, grace, posted this on his site today:

Edwyn is maintaining a steady course although he is now, as a result of his returning strength, mightily browned off with being in hospital. We should have a better idea quite soon as to when he comes home, but probably a couple of months. This seems like an eternity to him. We have had some home visits over the last few weeks and that has been wonderful, but going back to hospital is hard to take. I asked him if he had a message for all of you and he said "Yes, disaster area," but followed it with his nutty laugh, which some of you may be familiar with. Keep the faith, love Grace

it's been a long four months since his brain haemorrhage and subsequent MRSA infection, but he's visiting the pub in a wheelchair on a fairly regular basis, i believe, and this is very encouraging news.

keep on burning.

Christ, that sounds like I'm hoping someone will attack a bloke in a wheelchair.

Let's just be clear: I'm
hoping he's getting well and truly langered.
