Some six or so years earlier, Jessie had been involved in a motor vehicle accident and "the doctors" suggested he be placed in a nursing home.
Jeanette, the mother didn't accept this and took on his rehabilitation. He has a recumbent, and she takes him on rides, exercises the body and over the years, in my infrequent encounters with them, I have notice a continued improvement in his health and co-ordination.
I met them on the Canberra Big Bike Ride and received another update, it appears that the original medical attention missed something in his leg that prevents him from walking, so they are going to get that done, and I guess if that is successful, next time I see him, he will be able to stand and hobble along.
I dips me lid to Jeanette, and wish them all the best.
