Happenings this week.

At last we had our assessment with the NeuroPhysio.  We went to Herts and Essex Gym on Tuesday and met with Marion Henthorn. We spent nearly two hours with her but a good deal of time was used up wth taking history and filling in the forms on line but when she did work with Ron she certainly knew her business and was really challenging for Ron,taking him out of his comfort zone.   She explained that the physio that makes the difference is what you practice at home between visits and she will give exercises to do during the week.  Only one visit a week and unfortunately she is on holiday next week so we have to wait until 30th for the next session.   I phoned the private physio but her advice is that what Marion told us is correct and we should take what we can from the NHS and call on her services when they have finished with us.

On Wednesday we met with Glen Grinrod a RR mechanic who is going to rebuild the engine of our Silver Cloud that Ron dismantled to do the valves.  This engine has been in bits for two years and Ron had hoped to work on it over the winter but it was not meant to be.

In the evening we had a visit from Suzanne and Elliot.

Due to all this activity Ron has been very tired for two days.  When he gets tired like this he cannot use his bad leg so consequently we have not been able to practice the exercises the physio gave us - frustrating.

The wetroom is complete but I have not seen it yet, I am going to go tomorrow and start the big clean up, I have offers of help from Andrea and Michelle.  We are promised a replacement stairlift next Wednesday - fingers crossed that it will do the job.
