Continuing progress

Well, I saw the physio, and have three more torments to undergo 3 times a day. But they do seem to be doing me good. I have actually started to go out without a stick - something that I have not done since July 2009! It all seems to be too good to be true. And I could not say that I walk gracefully, but we get there. Christmas will be spent at no. 2 son's house this year - I was wondering how that would work out, but so long as they do not ask me to walk the dog it should be very enjoyable.

More round about Christmas.

Progress!

Well, things have moved on in the last 10 days. I found last time that recovery occurred in bursts, and I am now walking about upright, without crutches and sometimes without a stick. Mind you, given the current depth of snow outside (8 inches) I am not proposing to go on a cross-country hike for the time being, but I am encouraged by all of this. And all without the benefit of Physio - I was due to see the physio-terrorist today, but for the same reason I have not gone. I still have reservations about red wine, but we did go to quite a decent restaurant for lunch yesterday, and I found that seriously expensive red wine was really quite palatable, although the cheaper stuff is still too overpowering. Shame, really!

About all for the moment, but things are very positive this week. Hope I am not shouting too early.
