Stewart was unable to return to work after severe attack

Stewart also said effectively he only has one vocal chord as a result of complications with his operations. “I’ve been in intensive care five or six times. Generally, I was down there because they’re so concerned. “I went back to work and we went on holiday. I had a severe attack and ended up in intensive care in France. “I was flown back to Addenbrooke’s and was in intensive care there for a while. “Following my discharge from there I never went back to work again on advice from the doctors. “It’s not known what brings my Myasthenia gravis on.”

That jury must be be near to tears with his health woes.

I assume there is some corroboration of all this, and the court doesn't just have his word for it?

They really should have got a MG specialist in who could challenge or confirm some of this

(Myasthenia gravis not the MG car)

Stewart says Diane had another epileptic fit 2 months after Jamie born + decided to stop working. Couple moved to Bassingbourn.

Wonder if he switched her medication for sugar tablets......

Yep, am sure they're just about to ask the Judge to let the poor bean go home right away

Wonder when it was he stopped working then. Him and the wife not working? *confused*

All this does is reinforce my belief that the underlying motivation for him to murder Helen was resentment (with money being a big bonus and FU to her) he seems to love being an achiever (even when they are rather small achievements) and then he finds himself in a relationship with a woman of high intellect who has been professionally and financially successful in her life and was continuing very well on this path. I just think he couldn't stand it anymore, that he felt he was becoming the invisible man compared to a shining light like Helen.

Grief sessions after wife's death

“I’ve had a blue (disabled) badge when driving for 18/19 years. “Sadly Diane died on June 25, 2010. “I was left in charge of the two boys. They were 18 and 15 at that time. “I was given a book on how to cope and deal with grief from a bridesmaid at Diane’s wedding. “In the book was also a website name for a forum for widows and widowers to share their feelings. “It was a very open forum and it was very good. “I went to an event in London, 30 of us shared experiences of grieving face to face.”

Can just imagine his voice as he says all this :whine:

He'd better be careful...... Prosecution team could be making some calls and checking the records tonight , imagine if it were full of outright lies.

OK, all of this is very handy to explain why he says he couldn't possibly have put Helen in the cess pit or lifted the lid but then who bloody did? There was only him there when she died and only him and his sons afterwards, barr the mysterious Joe & Nick that nobody but him has even seen. This phone that they gave him presumably we're going to see texts and calls coming from Joe & Nicks phone to this phone?

I suspect he has the kind of myasthenia gravis that comes on when he's expected to do a stroke of work. There's a lot of it about.

Good thinking... or vitamins!!

 

[snoopydog]

I think this could go a sloppy slope and he could end up implicating his sons in this. If it genuinely looks like he couldn't have moved her because everyone and their dogs know nick and joe are not real....

Met Helen Bailey through Facebook grief site

Stewart says there was also a spin off page for the forum on Facebook. “A group of two or three widows set up a Facebook group, it was a closed group. “It now has about 300 members. “When I first went on the first website I didn’t think it was for me. But it was great just to write your feelings down. “Helen Bailey was given the name of this grieving website by the foreign office after her husband died. “She was made aware of the Facebook group and came to join it. “I wasn’t aware of her at all but one morning Helen messaged me to ask how I was. “She said she wasn’t doing great, and in two days time it was her husband’s funeral. “I said it wouldn’t be easy, but told her to do what feels right to her. “The first contact between the two of us was initiated by Helen.”

" I never went back to work again on advice from the doctors."

And there are plenty of computer scientists with serious life-long disabilities/ illnesses who still manage stellar careers due to the non-physical nature of that work.

 

[Tortoise]

I remember that too but I don't think they had any proof of the statement

I've just looked, it was Duchy. Maybe she can see me in my office when she gets back.

Maybe I am nit picking here ! but that sounds an odd way to say things.
Wouldnt you say, it was just me and the boys, we managed the best we could .......... he makes it sound like - sigh - it's all about him again. More responsibility being handed over to him.

Are we going to hear from his PhD supervisor?

Stewart describes cancer scare

Stewart said he later had a cancer scare, and was convinced to have another operation. “I went back into Papworth Hospital and had the same operation. Very annoyingly all it was was scar tissue. “It wasn’t cancer, thankfully. “Myasthenia gravis is quite rare, every time I end up in Addenbrooke’s Hospital they use me as a demonstration. Stewart said one of his lungs only has 60 per cent capacity, adding “compared to my other breathing problems that’s not good.”

Very annoyingly all it was was scar tissue. Poor Helen haven't to listen to him when she has always been a wonderful wordsmith.
