Hi everyone. I have a new physio now - Kathy is her name. She has got me moving more now and today I was successful in standing up and using a walking frame for support. I still needed lots of assistance from Kathy and CJ though, and I'm a long way off ever trying to walk again, but "No pain No gain" is what I say. I'm smiling because it's all over for today - until tomorrow. The Babe
Even though the TV room was a bit of a mess with the ironing last weekend, it was great to be back home and enjoy the home cooking. CJ is getting better... The yellow roses were nice and we watched "La Bamba" on the big screen. The Babe
Sometimes the simplest and cheapest of equipment, can make all the difference. My new physio, Kathy, has got me using this hand rail in the nursing home. I put my feet on the floor and pull myself forwards to the edge of my seat of my wheelchair. Then with nose over my toes, and concentrating on standing, I pull myself up and try to weight bear on my feet. Kathy and CJ support me, and I count to five, weight bearing on the balls of my feet. Then I sit down. I repeat this until I get tired. Today I changed weight from one foot to the other. Later I said to CJ, "You know, I am going to walk again..." The Babe
