Finally things are starting to come good, the numbness is finally going from my affected right hand side, and my balance is getting better, since i don't seam to walking lopsided any more and i'm bring my right leg through easier. I will be glad when i can walk and stand up by myself and return the wheelchair. I had two flat tyres this week and it took 4 days before the hospital maintence guy to come to fix it. i'm really looking forward to returning it to the hospital. the other reason i'm looking forward to getting out of the chair is that on weekends i go to watch the kids soccor matches and it's hard work going over rough ground they need to produce a 4 wheel drive model for the rough ground.
