Headed of on my travels this morning, and went to see Seamus.Gotta admit, when i went in to his room, he had a big grin on his face, priceless!, i cracked and talked to him about what was happening in the bike world, told him a few jokes, which he really enjoys!, hehas good eye contact i must say,and he certainly is fully aware as to waht you are talking about (especially when it comes to the girls!!) Thanks to Paul lindsay of irish racer, he had sent up a copy of the latest edition, and i was showing him the pictures in it, and he certainly had a big grin, when it came to the eye candy pages!!
However, i must add, much to the fact, i think there has been a wee slight improvement, since the last time i was in with him, Seamus has a long long way to go!
His sister Diredre called in whilst i was there,and left me the Christmas cards that were sent by viewres fronm the websites, and i must say, i was pretty impressed with the no of vards he recieved, there were cards from, Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, IOM, Poland, germany and Austria!!, so to everyone, who took the time to send a card, can i say a BIG THANK YOU, and to those who couldnt be arsed, !!! I wont lower myself to say anything!!
I read these cards out to him, as i am sure the nurses and family have done so many times before, but for certain, when i was mentioning the names,i know he recognized them!!(espically the girls again!!)
I dont want to portray a very healthy image, but for sure he is a wee bit better.
Now i do know , that when he was in Portlaiose, he got quite a few visitors!, this is NOT happening here at Dungloe!!!
I fully understand, that the biking season is not too far away, and that we are all getting ready for that.
However, i would appeal to ANYONE, if they have a few hours to spend, if they could make a point in calling to see him, cos, i honestly, do think yhis would be of great help to him.
Please take a moment to think about what i am saying!.
For anyone wishing to attend, here are the directions from the North of ireland;
Head for STRABANE, then head for CASTLEFIN, Next town is STRANOLAR and BALLYBOFEY, these two towns are joined by a bridge!, so when you go over the bridge, go through the first set of lights, you will then see a sign for Dungloe (R252), Turn right here (there is a yellow/orange coloured pub on your left here), when you turn right, Jacksons Hotel is on your ruight!.
Continue on this road, next town is AN CLOCHAN (7 miles from ballybofey), keep on main rd, for another 9 miles, to FINTOWN, here you go through the village, and when you come to a pub called the Railway Inn, take the rd to the right, there are signposts for;(Aerfort 41km), & (AnClochan Loch), continue across this beautiful part of the country, and you will come to a village called AN DUNCHORAIDH (this is 5 miles from Fintown), when heading out of village, keep on the main rd, ie keep to the left, and head uphill, again across some off the best scenic routes in donegal.
Another 5 miles will see you to the end of this road, where you will see a signpost in front of you for Dungloe, turn right here(N56) and head into the town of DUNGLOE, just after the Supervalue supermarket, you will see a sign post for;Aerfort/Gooth Dobhair/Rockeries B&B, Here you take right, and a few hundred yards, and DUNGLOE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Is on your right.
Go in the main door, turn right, and go to theend of the corriddor, and the nurses will certainly make you most welcome, and show you to Seamuss room.
PLEASE give this a wee bit of thought
regards
Baylon
