Over the past couple of days Terry has improved. The fluid is slowly diminishing and he is feeling a little better. There is still a long way to go.
Some of you have expressed a wish to send a card. If you would like to please forward c/-
190 Elsenham Street, Southfields, SW185NR, England.
Visitors are still off the agenda as are flowers or gifts.
We took Terry outside for a short time on Saturday and he really enjoyed the bit of sunshine.
Quality of care remains excellent.

Unfortunately the news is not as good as we would like at the moment. Terry has had a bit of a setback with his lungs holding fluid. Doctors are doing everything possible to remove this which will assist in his breathing. He is currently very short of breath. At the moment he is stable and although we are impatient his recovery is a very slow process.
We do appreciate all your thoughts and emails and I apologise that I am unable to respond directly and answer your questions. I simply do not have enough time. Each day I give him an update on your messages and he is grateful for the care.
I cannot say often enough how good the staff of the hospital are. Not only technically but also compassionately. People often complain about hospitals but we are certainly not unhappy with the service.

Update
My apologies for the delay in an update on Terrys condition. Things are quite hectic here.
Unfortunately Terrys recovery from the heart attack has not been plain sailing. He developed an infection, which is slowly responding to drugs and has an issue with fluid in the lung.
Diabetes is adding yet another complication.
Good news is he is responding to the treatment albeit slowly.
He remains in high care and cannot have visitors, card etc so here is the best place to leave your messages.
He really appreciates all the care and concern you have shown however he really needs time for his body to heal before he greets the world again
The hospital staff are nothing less than sensational. We could not ask for better doctors or nursing staff and are very grateful for all they are doing.
I will attempt to post an occassional update and thank you for your patience.

Good wishes
As many are aware, Terry recently suffered a heart attack whilst in the UK. His condition is stable and we are confident things will be well. He is unable to receive either visitors or phone calls so we would appreciate your patience.
Terry has expressed concern for those who were to attend his spin clinics and apologises for the inconvenience this may have created for you.
We have been inundated with good wishes from people all over the world and would like to say thank you, we really appreciate the care and concern.
I am sure Terry will post a blog as soon as he is able.
Again, thank you to all

England
Over Easter I head to the UK for a brief period to conduct some Spin Doctor Clinics.
Dates and venues currently in place are as follows:
April 10-11...... Leeds ( yet to find a suitable venue)
April 12-13......Wimbledon (Kings College Wimbledon)
April 14-15.....Essex (Writtle Indoor Cricket Centre)
I can't head across before Easter as my daughter is being married on 28th March and I must be home on the 17th as Ann and our two friends Ian and Carol Berry are taking a trip up through the middle of Australia.
It would have been easy to delay the clinics until July/ August except some of my loyal followers requested the clinics and I couldn't let any of them down.
So, that is 2010 thus far.
Next time I blog I will give a few coaching tips based on the enquiries I receive.
Around the world
Prior to Mumbai, I spent 3 weeks in Pretoria and 10 days in Zimbabwe.
The Pretoria camp was most enjoyable. Working for the ECB has always been that way for me.
The squad of cricketers was made up of 6 spinners, 6 pace bowlers, 6 batsmen and 4 wicketkeepers.
Peter Such and I were responsible for the spinners and working with Suchy was a good experience. We are sufficiently different in personality but on the same wave length as spin coaches for the boys to get the same message told in a way that they should understand.
At the end of the three weeks in Pretoria I spent a couple of days in Jo'burg chilling out before heading to Harare and Bulawayo.
The chilling out was special as I was able to catch up with my old mate (met him in 97) Harry Shapiro and enjoy a meal with him and his wife Ruth.
For those who have Harry's e-mail address, Wednesday 25th March is his 70th birthday. He still runs virtually every day and maintains his passion for coaching cricket, including spin bowling.
Okay, Harare and Bulawayo presented me with another of those experiences one never forgets.
To say I didn't know what to expect would be an understatement.
Such was the experience, the welcoming way I was treated by players, coaches, administrators, staff and people in general that I hope an opportunity comes for me to return sometime soon.
The standard of pitches in both cities was very good...something I didn't expect.
So, it came as something of a shock to me when I heard New Zealand pulled out of their upcoming tour to Zimbabwe. I am unsure of the actual reason for their action.
It certainly isn't what the Zimbabwian players and coaches need at this vital stage of their redevelopment.
Personally I hope there are no more setbacks as they work toward re entering the big arena.
