It's a month since I last posted. Progress is monthly, rather than daily, but it is still there. I am now walking around the house without sticks, and have progressed to the grounds. There is still the problem of risking my knee giving up whilst walking down stairs or down a slope, but that is a symptom of what I have actually done, which is damage my right femoral nerve. When that happens I fall over which creates consternation among all around, but I have practised falling over and rolling, rather than crashing to the ground. The nerve is slowly reconstituting itself, but I guess it will take many months to recover fully. Still that is the stimulus I need to keep on doing the exercises 3 times a day.
Jonathan Nicholson, from Cayman, visited the other day, which was very nice, and Tim and Lorna from South Africa did likewise yesterday. It is always nice to have visitors from abroad, as I am not keen on the long walk to the aircraft that always seems to be my lot. And they never give me the electric trolley - it is always the wheel chair with a frail young lady to try and push me along.
About all for now - we see the specialist next week, when I may have some more things to say.
