Dear James,

Your article on Kate Garraway, Derek Draper and family rang so many bells in my own life. I married my second wife Janette in 1973 and we had our son in the December, my job was going well. In the July of 1976, she collapsed and was later diagnosed with MS which meant she could not walk feed herself and was virtually blind. I had a three-year-old son, my job entailed working all over the UK and Europe. I rang my boss, a German chap, and appraised him of the situation.

But she was happy with my explanation and forgave me. The years went by with relapses and recoveries until around the Millenium when it became obvious that she was deteriorating, so I took early retirement from the job I loved. We then discovered the GP practice had lost 54 years of Jan’s medical records, and that just made life very difficult when visiting consultants for help.
