Still on a high from the good news yesterday and all the emails and comments of support I have receieved.

The thought that I will be able to sit again in the wheelchair is such a wonderful idea.

Has given me another perspective of life, have done so very well not going downhill despite being confined to the bed.

Glad that I have been using the motomed to keep my legs exercised as well as the 30 to 40 minutes arm exercises that I do every morning.

Has kept my arms from becoming too weak, it has been beneficial for my hands, at the moment can still use the mouse have not needed the headmouse.

Will add a few more arm exercises that my fysio advises plus startrr to concentrate on my back muscles.

And start to push for my wheelchaor being properly adaped so there is no danger of my having another pressure sore.

Roll on end of March and a party to celebrate as well as a party in April for my darling's 50 th birthday.

Good things coming up yippee!!

Thanks for the support and love.



Nearly did not publish Robert's comments yesterday but glad that I did as the result has been alot of great comments full of support and love.

Yesterday showed me aqain how good it is to be a part of the blogsphere.

Feedback is crucial at any time but especially for me now that I am full time in bed.

Like Richie I too hope that others are spared what has happened to me/us feel like a storm just like in the Wizard of Oz came along and tore me away from everything and when I got back nothing was the same again.

Sadly the wizard, the neurologist I met could not help and seemingly was not even sympathetic, no bedside manner at all.

It is difficult to make major adjustments even worse when everything has to be constantly readjusted.

I do not try and list what I can't do anymore as its an endless list so make a list, a small one of things that I can do.

They include.
eat and drink.
brush my teeth, clumsy but works.
talk alot.
think.
sing cept only know first couple of words then trail off.
type with one finger.
love my darling Richie.
love my friends.
enjoy the dogs.
listen to audio books in three languages.
laugh alot.
enjoy Richie's humour.
enjoy everything I can.
be supportive.

Quite a list good to read and to see that though life is restricted to one room but with laptop and internet I am in touch with the world.
