Shop till you drop!

Yesterday ended with a yoga class, oh my gosh, it was so funny, the instructor is ex army and gave instruction like a sargent major, really loud, direct, short and sharp! We all did as we were told for a change, he was a bit scary, I think my sister is the only person i know who has been asked to leave a yoga class and this was no exception, we just couldn't stop laughing, mainly from pain, he was easy on me, i got special treatment!! But we will go back on Friday.

Today began with physio, the same routine as yesterday but she had me walking a bit longer, she called it 'gait' training, i laughed cause i think my bum resembles a double roller door than a gate! I've taught myself bad walking habits so we need to retrain my body, tomorrow i have to put on my AFO's so i stop tripping over my feet, i hate them, but know its necssary for better balance and posture. I had 2 needles this morning, 1 straight into my arm and the other, half injected into each tricep muscle, each day they will focus on different muscle groups.

We had a rest after this then got a taxi to a shopping mall, to get in we had to go through security checks, metal detectors. It was nice to just get out see something different and buy soft toilet paper!

Michelle and Nicki have gone out to a medical supply shop, the bathroom doesnt have hand rails in the shower or near the toilet, i was given a toilet frame on wheels, for my own dignity i wont go into details but lets just say it wasn't pretty. The tiles are bit slippery and one carer fell and broke her leg, so i'm not taking any chances, the girls are looking for something to make life easier for me to be more independent.

The nurse will be in soon with my evening injections. Thank you for adding your comments to my blog, i get very excited to have communication from Team Australia!! Also, Simon if your reading this, the 'team india' towels are brilliant!!
