Wednesday Crutches Day
Neil was a bit out of breath when we arrived as he had been charging down the corridor on his frame. The consultant popped in to see him and said he would have more scans taken of his pelvis and left leg today. He had many visitors today which was lovely as people just dropped in for a short while. The physiotherapist, Jackie, and her colleague turned up and explained to Neil how to use some crutches instead of the frame. She said he would probably only be able to stand today but once he gets used to them would be able to walk slowly. Neil took no notice and dashed off and was out the door with them following behind. He came back a little while later and was puffing a bit. Then a wheelchair arrived to take him to have his scans. More visitors came and went and Neil was very chatty. The physiotherapist told him she may start him on weight bearing a little on his left side tomorrow but the consultant would need to see him first to discuss the scans.

Hi Neil,
I'm sat at my desk and should be working, but thought I would take time out to catch up on your progress and leave a message, but I see Rosie has beat me to it!
So pleased to see your still looking good especialy after the haircut! :-). Keep working hard on the physio/eating excercises and you will soon be well enough to return to Brockham.
We are all missing you.
Take care and thinking of you all.
Lots of Love, Christina XX
