Well I have had a busy day today.
I will summarise for you all.
- 4 (four) poos. Varying between 4 and 5 on the Bristol Stool Scale
- Dumping the large gutter frame you saw me staggering around on in my video
- Sporting a smaller, sleeker zimmer frame that I can use independently.
- Successfully trained on wheelchair to car transfers (freedom here I come - If someone can pick me up!)
- Cycled 5.5 km's (obviously not out on the open road)
- Started my woodwork class. (pic attached - it's going to be a cheese board)
Yesterday at Pyhsio, my physio the rapist, Emily, tried Functional Electrical Stimulation for those that can't be bothered to look at the link, I have attached an action packed video. Ah well, actually no, not actioned packed. It was for me anyway - as the muscle that controls the Dorsal flex (means flexion of the ankle which makes the top of the foot turn toward the body) moved my foot up by 2 cms! More than it has done for a few weeks.
The session didn't actually work as we had hoped and we probably won't try it again. But it is still early days, as I constantly get told.
I did manage to get 4 burn marks on my legs from the pads.
