Over the weekend I have resolved to try to make as strong and speedy
recovery as humanly possilble. I stood up and walked the day after my
operation. I disclosed my plans for proactive recovery to the Doctor
on Friday and asked that I visit the gym and that the physiotherapist
give me a program which could of course ensure that no damage or
impediment be caused to the process of the damaged and screwed spine
healing and fusing.
He felt that it was possible to help the recovery and build strength
in other areas without slowing the healing of the spine.
As a precaution they fitted me with a restrictive back brace. Kind of
a physical restraining order.
On Sunday I managed all the flights of stairs in the building. Today I
walked to the gym and worked on a program with the physio.
There I found the words pictured below. My sentiments exactly. I rest
my case .......
Rhiann Marie controlled by mobile phone from Penang set off this
morning from Langkawi with Trish Mairi and Jeff who we have recruited
to deliver the boat up to Phuket. They will just cruise up,
daysailing, in order to make the trip as pleasant as possible.
