John is now in West Park Hospital. He will be there for 6 weeks and will be receiving Physio as he is struggling with his right arm & leg.
Les Owen spoke to him on Thursday evening (04/02/21) and he sounded very positive. Les assured him that all at EBC were constantly thinking of him & wished him a speedy recovery.
He has been unable to see Sandra since 1st December 2020.
