Next weekend i will be taking my first long road trip since having the stroke, we will be travelling south of Sydney to Shoalhaven Heads which is about 3 hours by road south of Sydney. It will be my older sisters 60th birthday so her daughter has organised a surprise birthday party for her. So we have checked out suitable places to stop that have disabled bathrooms and access. Unfortunately it will be just an overnight trip as my daughter still has her final HSC exam to go. but the break will do us all good.

Yesterday after doing my physio programme, my walking was spot on, the balance was perfect the foot coming through no drop foot so i was very excited, so all the hard work is paying off. i just wish i had a safe area that i could do must of it by myself and my wife can get on with her jobs instead of tying her up while i go through the programme.

Today is bright and sunny but a bit cool inside so i will go outside in the warmth when my wife gets home from dropping the kids off at Venturer scouts.

so have a great week and never give up.
