Friday 11th December
Stuart was up and away before anyone woke for his 5.30 pool session and physio. Was pleased with himself as he has been walking in the shallow water, up to his knees and balancing with one hand only.
The young ones went go cart racing before Jess had to go to work. Alex was the fastest, with Jess a close second. Stuart had to drive with one hand on the wheel and the other was used to lift his right leg off the accelerator. Only managed 2 races but he is glad that he knows he can do it.
Stuart had a quiet afternoon, well they all did before heading out to the movies after dinner
Thursday 10th December
Another busy day, Stuart was up and about in time to drop Maggie at work and then meet a mate for breakfast.
I dropped in to see Stuart at physio. Marcus was giving his lower back and gluts(his little butt) a deep massage. Stuart had not done much walking this session as his legs were feeling the effect of his few days away. I left him resting with the Fes working on his lower back.
Stuart then had an appointment with Emma(work options) at REX. Just to make sure that the workplace was OK for Stuart to return eg access to toilets, ramps for his chair etc. All was good and he will start work on Monday. Stuart was very excited. Initially 18hrs per week-Monday, Wednesday and Friday. He will have physio Tuesdays and Thursdays plus a pool session early Friday if he can manage it.
We had a full house, Julie, Greg and Alex from Tailem Bend(SA) plus Jess's mate Tom and Dan(from the UK). I think the final count for dinner was 14 as 3 of Stuart's school mates called around as well. The more the merrier I say.
