doctors visit


Aussie Ken

447 views

Well i received a great doctors report this week, i had my 3 monthly health check up and the BP is spot on, weight ideal, and drop foot is almost down (about an 1'' to go).

i've started doing squts to help build up muscle strenght and more balance work, hopefully either tomorrow or early next week i will try to walk up the driveway using the cane. it's a good flat surface so there won't be any hurdles.

 

Tomorrow is Australia day, nothing planned just relax and do my home physio etc.

 

:chat:

 

The best thing this week is that more of my memory is returning. I was at a Lions dinner on Tuesday night and a friend who is involved with the Girl Guide movement was enquiring about fundraising activites that i was involed with the scouts, so i was able to share ideas on how to raise fund for her group. it was a good memory jogger.

Ken, glad to hear your check up results were so good. Keep up the exercises etc and you will be more independent. Though Ray had his fall on a good flat surface so be careful!

 

Glad to hear your memory is coming back too. It is one thing I really miss as Ray loses his with the dementia that I can't say :"Was our Adelaide holiday '86 or '87." It is so frustrating not to be able to rely on the superb memory he used to have.

Hey Ken-- Great to hear about your good drs reports. Keep it going! You can so do it! I know you will make it up those stairs to your gym soon.

 

I walk the driveway w/ my walker. It helps and I get fresh air, though I do not go out on these cold days. That's when I'm glad I have the treadmill in house. Take Care. LK
