Aw that's a shame a good physio can be a great resource. Might be worth checking online for best exercises to do. My physio always said the work I did between sessions was more valuable than anything they did in the session.

i'm the star of a yet to be published physio video. i've judst been told about a physio group that mweets twice a week so am following that up as i hope it'll be useful i'm hoping to go to today's session.

Cool. Physios may well be my favourite and most underrated of the medical professionals. Even with my dog they have often been more use than the specialists that we paid £thousands to.

Having a poorly dog makes you realise just how valuable the NHS is and what a scourge private medicine is when you have no alternative.

I said earlier that I'd skimmed through about 106 pages of your posts whilst on holiday and it was clear in some cases you were being very discreet about your issues, however I'm sorry that I missed out on that vital word about what happened to you. 

You poor fella, I was thinking this was all related to broken bones  🥺, apologies that I can be a bit slow on the uptake sometimes.  I had a much older relative experience one and have seen their frustration at the knock on effects she pains. 

So you're currently doing short bouts of walking around the wet and windy streets of Brizzle?

no, cos i cant do irt, i walked the 200 yards to local shops and had to get a taxi home gain. most i use a wheelchair or mobility scooter, cant ride the voi scooters cos it'd be difficult with just one good arm.

strokes are a barstad.

Very true and painful too - as my mum regularly tells me 😉

If your life were a film we could cut to a montage where you're arduously learning to walk again on those parallel bars with someone earnestly willing you on, but clearly that's out of the question too on account of the arm. 

Good luck with your session today if your able to get there.

WHEN IN HOSPITAL I HAD THE IDEA OF SOMONE DOING A FLY ON THE WALL DOCUMENTARY ON STROKE RECOVERY, WOULDN'T WANT ME FEATURED IN IT.

THINK IT WOULD WORK QUITE WELL, COS THE VIEWERS WOULD BE WILLING THE PATIENTS TO SUCCEED.

RECKON THAT MIGHT BE A GO-ER, COS WITH A CURRENT FOCUS ON STROKES THE NHS MIGHT BE WILLING HELPERS, PERHAS WITH FUNDING TOO.

Yes, having for a brief spell seen the impact on people, in terms of movement and their ability to communicate you're right that there's a very powerful human interest story there.

yes, plus the chance to educate people about stroke, i thought it was a bit like a heart attack, the whole 'brain injury' thing has done my fried brain in.

the 23 weeks in hospital was much too slow and the useless arm makes everything difficult, just trying to get out my front door with wheelchair and bag is dodgy-dangerous.

It’s a better use of taxpayers funds. Better being spent on those who need it rather than being given to one of Spaffers mates to redecorate a flat. I’m waiting for my claim to be processed at the moment. Might as well get as much money as possible back off the twats in charge.

the good news for me, no point going to the bar, no one will get a drink i'd spill them on the way back, can only carry one drink as well, no more bar trips for me.
