One week in and unfortunately there is very little to report in this fight against the consistently inconvenient paraplegia. The week has been quite an easy one, spent settling back into the groove of early mornings, physiotherapy and injections, and it was topped of nicely with a small one day procedure on Friday. Physio is basically the same routine as last time, except now with a lot more floor exercises such as crawling, kneeling and balance work. I'm now able to extend my leg approximately 120 degrees in a relatively powerful movement although the full-back of the Old Xav's 3rds isn't under threat its progress. Progress is being made also in walking with arm crutches and with a walking stick, in which I was able to drag my foot forward a good 5 inches before loosing balance, again its not much but something I wasn't able to do last time around.
As this will be a short and sharp session we are planning to have a procedure once a week, with a double-banger towards the end to ensure that I'll be full of the super-juice when I return home to watch the Dogs win the flag. So I will hopefully have something more exciting to write about in the next installment, in the meantime Northcote social Club this Friday the 5th.
