On monday 21st November 2005 my partner cleo had a stroke. Since then we are bashing our heads against all the problems of rehabilitation and care that most people never encounter.This blog will be a record of our road to recovery and the thoughts I have along the way.....

Day 116 - We Don't Do That..

James actually managed to contact Mohammed today (intergalactic communication devices are improving every day!) who, when asked about the possibility of providing manipulation for cleo's arm and hand, rather than simple physiotherapy replied " We don't do manipulation". Seems a little odd to me....

However, Melanie is going to come along next week (quite when we don't know yet) and "try" some manipulation. I think that I will still have to do some of the work myself, and if the care team don't materialise, then so be it!

James can't see cleo now till April 5th, so, it was a hard session on the treadmill today, and even James agrees that her walk is much improved, because she does not twist her pelvis too much now, and weight is being placed more evenly on both legs, rather than predominantly through her unaffected leg. When all the weight goes through one leg it creates stress in the hip joint, and hence pain.

And yet again the weekend looms large.
