Yesterday I saw my physio to go through a strength test that she previously did with me in March this year on my arms and legs. Thankfully most of the results were the about the same as they were in March which is really good news! All the swimming/hydrotherapy, pilates and cycling are obviously helping my muscles keep working.
The one thing that has definitely got worse is the foot drop on my right foot - I can't now flex that foot at all without assistance and do catch my toe quite a lot when walking around. I will now be referred back to Gordon (orthotics) for more help/gadgets.
Welcome to our blog! Here we will share with you some of the joys and challenges of 'Atthill Life'.
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.
