Specialist physio 1/12/23

Saw Emily at Moorgreen Hospital in the MSK Stoneham Centre unit.
It was brilliant 

She reckons due to what I was able to do exercise wise and when she wiggled, pushed and pulled my legs that my fracture has healed

Now my body needs to get its proper form back, build strength and trust that I can do more stuff

My exercises from the rehab unit have been put to one side and I've been given a whole new page of exercises to do. It's like I've been doing GCSE work and now I've moved onto A level work 🤗

Also, the next 3 Tuesdays I'm seeing Fred the rehab assistant in the gym at the Adelaide centre to increase my strength, flexibility and confidence 
This should hold me over to Christmas and then the drivers insurance should kick in with some private physio and PT - my solicitor is chasing this up

Am feeling very positive 

I'm still using one crutch - mainly to ensure I get a seat on public transport and when I've been walking for more than 15-20minutes and am getting tired I can rest on the crutch. 
Plus with the lights on the crutch I can see where I'm going / can check if any ice / be seen by drivers, cyclists, other pedestrians. 

I'm defiantly feeling as if I've turned yet another corner on my journey back to full pre accident fitness x
