Well, I managed a mile and things went badly wrong.  Woke up on Friday and my legs had turned to mush, my torso was as floppy as a rag doll so I think that a mile will be my lot.  The worrying thing is that now my legs seems to have gone weak and stayed it.  Transfering has suddenly turned into a nightmare and getting off the loo is a real worry.

Hopefully I just pushed myself too far and full function will return but I am now trying to get an emergency appointment at Stoke to get checked out as the legs are not good at all and my balance has gone off too.

I know for those of you who do not walk or stand this will all sound familiar however for me it is a returning nightmare.  I was completely para for about 6 months before and then I got function back and was able to stand and walk with help but to return to the full para phase is not good, especially as I have lost a lot of the skills of doing transfers, dressing myself with ease and generally getting about.  Lets hope it is just a temporary blip accentuated by anxiety.

Still a mile is very good, it took me five days but I did do it!

My friends came over at the weekend and did a make over on my garden and I think that in no time at all it will be full of lovely flowers and looking a picture and as soon as it is I will take a photo and share it with you all.
