Wednesday
It was very encouraging at hospital yesterday/, as I walked quite a bit in the parallel bars and a little with a walker Although proress has been very slow, my mobility has not got worse.
The physio wphysio warmed me up and then I wemt on to parallel bars.

As I talk about the parallel bars I think of a gymnast standing poised in the bars before leaping into the air yo perform amazing bodily contortions. A I can't really regret that I am not that gymnast as I was never any good at gym at school. Our gym teacher subscibed to the new style of teaching in the 50s where the student was allowed to do what they wanted. Not knowing how tperform even the simplest of feats made one's choice difficult.

After walking between the bars yesterday, the physio encouraged me to walk with a frame. (More or less the same sort of stuff my old gym teacher would have been good at) Anyway I was thrilled with my achievement The masseuse from the ms centre came to my home afterwards and brought her music with her, All therapists play music while they are working but it isn't proper music – just running water or pan pipes with a slightly mystic feel. I would have asked her not to play it but I suspect it helps her to know how much time she has spent massaging my legs without being as obvious as looking at her watch
