I would like to thank you and your colleagues for the kindness shown to myself and my wife. I class myself as very fortunate to have met such kind and caring people.

Joint hypermobility, some people have joints that have an unusually large range of movement.
Joint hypermobility is a result of connective tissue in the joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments are more loose and stretchy than in most people. This is often referred to as being 'double jointed'.
Very rarely, joint hypermobility is part of a rare, serious condition that affects the tissue protein, such as osteogenesis imperfecta (affects the bones), Marfan Syndrome (affects the heart, eyes and blood vessels) and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
There are many different types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome; symptoms are easy bruising, lens dislocation and skin changes.
