The main purpose in starting this blog is to keep you informed of a new challenge in the Atthill household. In November 2011 Sue received confirmation that she has FSHD which is a form of muscular dystrophy. Again we are privileged to be surrounded by friends and family that want to know how things are and how Sue is coping; well this is for you so that we can update you more regularly.We’ve called this blog “Atthill Life” as from time to time we will give you updates on the rest of the family as well.

This Past Week

On Monday I realised it's a good job that I don't do too much writing on the whiteboard in Nursery.  When I tried  I could only do it with my left hand supporting my right arm to reach up onto the board!

On Tuesday I reached a target that I had set myself this week.  I went swimming and managed 2 lengths of front crawl in a row, twice!  However I do find that after going swimming I am then quite exhausted for the rest of Tuesday and Wednesday.

I have been trying to do my physiotherapy exercises each day - some are easier than others. One is to shrug my shoulders up and down which I hadn't even realised would be affected. I can do it but my shoulders don't get too near my ears anymore!

Yesterday I was in Norwich for "Visions" with about 350 other ladies. We had a great time of worship and then Wendy Virgo was speaking on the crippled bent over woman who Jesus healed. (Luke 13)  Wendy shared how we are all 'out of alignment' in some way perhaps physically, emotionally or in our thinking but Jesus is our plumb-line and he can straighten us out!

Have had a lovely Mother's Day today! Our youth group GLU led the service at church this morning.  Owain and Hannah made cupcakes for all the ladies in the church.  I was then taken out to lunch at The Market Place Restaurant in the centre of Aylsham for lunch - very yummy!
