Post arrived and when I managed to open my letter (not easy one handed but chins come in handy!) I have an appointment for rehab assessment. It's not till October 16th and I had a useless rehab before. This I have good feelings about. I have no idea if I need to stay there, but that'd be worth it to get decent physio. The community physio backed my doctor up as expected when applying and said I've improved greatly (rehab where I went said I was "static and locked in" though at that stage my head and shoulders moved, left limbs were normal and right limbs moved a little. "Static" meant I'd never change, blatantly untrue. The community physio said "locked in" usually means no movement and the verdict was rubbish!). Yes it is very annoying original rehab were so negative but I look forward, it is pointless looking back as that achieves nothing. My private physio is doing what rehab could have and says this new rehab is a great opportunity. What an anniversary present! We've been married 20 years today, this is easy the best present I could have got.

Last night a chocolate covered marzipan bar was easy to eat, and a croissant. Things are certainly on the up. I feel just like my old self eating now.

All in all one happy Diane!
