Once the weekend has gone and work has finished we seem to relax much more. While there are no physical changes in cleo since yesterday, she seems far more at ease. I am sure this is because she doesn't have to be alone.
Physio this morning with James was spent yet again working on cleos arm and shoulder. There is still no real sign of any recovery in her hand yet, but he is very patient, and we are hopeful.
I had not slept since yesterday, and so once we were home from the physio it was sleep for me, until early evening, when the highlight was getting cleo in the bath. I am convinced that this does her the world of good. The water seems to allow her hand and leg to become lighter, and her whole demeanour changes. She has always been one of those people who never liked showers, and always preferred baths. While the logistics of moving her in and out of the bath are not that easy, the results are more than worthwhile. She is a real water baby, and just loves wallowing in a hot bath, and I am pleased we can manage to let her do this.
Tomorrow we have a visit from an OT person who we have not met yet, so we wait to see what that will bring. cleo doesn't like the thought of people coming into the house who might start trying to tell us how to do things. I have assured her that will not happen.
