Update (again!)

So the last few weeks has been very very busy between work and hospital appointments.

A week passed Tuesday was the first physio appointment I had had in about 3 or 4 years. She noticed my drop foot and has ordered an ankle splint (unsure of what this will look like) and gave me a few exercises for my hand to try and give me some more function. It was a pretty good appointment and I came out happy enough, although I am still pretty sceptical about the exercises for my hand.

This tuesday was the time of my Occupational Therapist appointment... now I have never had one of these, but later found out this was to create a splint for my hand. I took the whole day off as I was going to the match later on, and had a really good day. My splint is amazing... it has already made me more comfortable while resting! The only problem I find with it is that the little function I did have, while I wear the splint is completely gone, and I am a bit worried in case it has an adverse effect on what the surgeon hopes to do.

This thursday was the turn of my hip, pelvis and abdomin MRI scan. I still need to get the results for this, but I need to ring up to do this... which is not good, as I am scared of the results so keep putting off making an appointment. Before the MRI scan, my mind was taken elsewhere though, as my new splint decided to break and so I ended up back at the Occ Therapist to refit the splint.

All fun and games.

Other News

In other news, I have been reading random books, as nothing tickled my fancy. I came across a Danielle Steele book from years ago called Zoya. Normally, I wouldnt be bothered about the topic of the book, but it was so gripping and well written that I ended up carrying on reading. The topic of the book was the Russian Revolution and then the First World War, and being near Rememberance Day really touched me. It included Love, Hate, Struggle and "Getting There" which really reminds me of life in general (obviously not as extreme...)

Anyway, enough of me rambling on.

Enjoy your day.
