This will be a quick one, as it's way past my bedtime!
Conor was moved to a new room today (Same Floor - Room B224). He shares with another patient. He has his MP3 player, his DVD player and cable TV (for the football tomorrow). He seems a little down today, however, as he has noticed that the level of service has changed. Spoiled brat! I have assured him that this means he is one step closer to the front door and freedom! As Ciaran would say: "Suck it up, princess!"
Ciaran and I took him downstairs again for a hot chocolate at Second Cup (he still refuses to drink their coffee!) He was in the chair for over an hour and it obviously took its toll. We left him at about 4:30 ready for a well deserved nap. Before we left he made me promise to bring him in a shawarma! Nothing wrong with his appetite!
Tonight I went to the LCBO Christmas party. I felt a little awkward at first ... but that didn't last long. Mike's peers and Conor's peers made me feel very special and let me know --- more importantly --- how concerned they all were for Conor. They're an incredible bunch --- and have been very supportive of the three of us over the past year. I enjoyed myself ...seeing everyone again ... and even got up for a couple of dances (I'll be paying for that in the morning!)
Tomorrow is another day ... and God willing ... more improvements. Pleasant dreams everyone ... good thoughts!

Good morning Rosemary,Ciaran and of course Conor,
I have followed every word on Conor's recovery, and shed many tears with you as well.
It is so good to see what great progress Conor is making in such a short time, and although it is obvious it will be a long time before he is fully recovered I hope our prayers and good thoughts are helping together with those of your friends and our families.
You all have been through so much over the past year, and although we are not in contact with you we DO think of you all often.
I pray that in the future you all
have nothing but good health and happiness.
Lots of love and hugs
God Bless

p.s. Thanks for introducing me to blogging at the tender age of 66.
Hey princess haha. This is gonna sound so funny as I thought I was the princess before hand but oh well, you get to replace me for the time being. Just for the time being only! Haha. You're great and I can really see your little sarcasm is coming back. I've missed it so much. <3
Dancing is always fun!
I love that the new updates are good ones.
Someone's looking out for you =]
p.s. It's 7:45 am and I haven't slept so if this is a dumb comment, forgive me. haha<3.
Poor Conor. Your service has been downgraded but your progress has upgraded!!!! Way to go! Keep it up and soon you will be out the door and homeward bound. You can always ask Santa for that wish!!! Love you all.
