I have to report that as another week passes the care team are still being held hostage by aliens, because they have not been in touch; must be some fiendish experiment they are undergoing!
CLEO and I had a real heart to heart last night (well early this morning actually) after I had written yesterdays blog. I shall not go into the details except to say it became emotional, and we made some personal choices and agreements about both of us which I hope we are both happy with. It is not easy to contemplate one's own mortality, but I suppose if you don't then you are a fool to yourself. Enough said on that.
Physio today was interesting. James was trying to illicit a "balance response" in cleos toes on her left foot. What do i mean by that? stand in your bare feet and lean forward, watch your toes, as you begin to overbalance your toes move to counteract that. Such a small thing but vital for good stance, and even gait. In most of us that is a natural response which we dont even think about, it just happens. In cleo it didn't work in her left foot since the stroke. Suddenly, as she overbalanced her toes began to move, not much but enough to notice. Another victory!
Each of these little hurdles that are overcome are so important. On their own they might not seem much, but in the whole scheme of the Road to Recovery they are the building blocks that serve to create the recovery and rehabilitation which is so important to us all.
