If any one wants to visit he should be in there untill the 10 september when he should be moved to a nursing home in west norwood. Unfortunatly things look dim for him and i suspect he will never recover to even a 50% of the way he was. Please all the emotional support you can give to him would be very helpfull.

My father, John Annett has been at mayday hosptial in Croydon, Surrey now for 5 months and has fought tooth an nail to overcome this sudden an horrific accident.

The doctors said, ‘be prepared for your father never to speak again’…. try and stop him talking now!

His sheer determination has seen his movements improve dramatically and his ability to swallow, which was in question has now returned, so he can have a pint.

He is continueing to astound medical staff and visitors everday with his improvements, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

He has now been accepted into Wolfson centre in Wimbledon ( the old atkinson morley hospital before it merged with St george’s in tooting) which is the next stage of his rehabilitation programme, he is on a waiting list of approximatley 3 months give or take, which although is long, is paramount to his recovery.

He falls in and out of sleep mode but can see and respond by touch. He is presently going to be transferred to Atkinson Morley hospital in tooting. Mark 19,John Jnr 23 and wife Patricia would like his friends to visit him if they wish but to check with the hospital before going. He is likely to be in hospital at least 6 months.
