Losing someone...

Post by Lithium_joe »

I just found out the lady who first assessed me during my many referrals, Freda Newcombe, died in 2001.

I just googled her name, and it came back to a link to a page about the institute she helped found, and the plaque that marks her contribution to the Russel-Cairns Head-Injury Unit in Oxford.

I had idly entertained the possibility of writing to her one of these days and telling her how I'd got on since she saw me all those years ago.

Oh well. :(

Dr Freda Newcombe, a kind lady I will always remember. Farewell.
