Yet again sorry for not updating sooner - I always say to Peter I have nothing interesting to say but he tells me people like to know!
Last week I regained some of my independence as far as showering/bathing goes. Since Easter time Peter has been helping me in and out of the bath/shower, but this week I had rails fitted. This was following a visit and assessment by a Social Care OT at the beginning of May. We now have a rail/bar at the front door, in the downstairs cloakroom and over the bath. I also have a bar thing attached to my side of bed which is great for helping me turn over and sit up too.
I haven’t been able to drive out of Aylsham for the past couple of months, but we have finally bought an automatic car! It is currently sitting on our drive waiting to go to a garage in Dereham to be adapted for hand controls, once the parts have arrived from Italy! I have received confirmation from Access to Work that they will cover the cost of the adaptation which is great news. I’m looking forward to being able to drive further afield once more.
We have enjoyed a bank holiday weekend with family and friends visiting and I even managed a 2 mile walk around Sheringham Park (with a lot of help and rests on the way back up!) .
