The last week has seen us back to the normality of daily life, and while that must all go on, we have also decided to begin a slightly new chapter in cleo's rehabilitation. James cannot be cleo's physotherapist for the rest of her life and so we have to be even more pro-active regarding her continued recovery. Perhaps in the future a six-monthly review with James will be more sensible but rehabilitation must come predominantly from cleo (with support from me and the girls of course).
So we are going to set out on a very pro-active daily regime for cleo, based on a few simple exercises that James sees as important: calf stretching, the rhythm of her walking (keeping the affected foot on the ground for the same length of time as the unaffected) and hip and shoulder control to ensure symmetry in the walk.
This will start tomorrow. Of course we continue to see James for now, although he is getting married on Saturday, and away on honeymoon till the middle of July, so our starting out on the new regime is a good moment as we won't see him for 3 weeks or so. Hopefully he will see some improvements after his holiday.
What I shall do from now is write in the blog here weekly rather than every day. This will reduce the need to write the same thing again and again each day.
