HCPC-registered Occupational Therapy and accredited Psychological Therapies, offered alongside separate holistic wellbeing support.

This week has had some ups and downs but mainly ups. Some days are better than others, but overall, I am doing ok. Although I am keeping positive, there are days when I get frustrated that I still can’t drive, and be totally independent. Sometimes, it can get like Groundhog Day!

 So off I went to the chiropractor again, and was in and out in 15mins. I only needed one pelvic adjustment, which didn’t hurt a bit. She gave me more stretches to do and advised walking for 20mins between 3 & 5 times per week. I needed to do some weight bearing exercise to help with bone density and walking is the best thing!

​

I have started getting out a bit more too- a visit to the Theatre went well- I had to take my own cushion and get dropped right outside (thankyou friend, you know who you are), but all was well. On the whole, I find that most people are very accommodating and kind, so it did surprise me when I came across reluctance to help.

​

Our seats were in the middle of a row, and I was really cautious of having to squeeze past people to get to them. My friend explained the reason for me not wanting to be a sandwich, and most people were happy to leave their seats, so that I could get past without fear. Apart from the 2 lovely people right next to us who had limited awareness, and could not understand why I couldn’t get past easily, without them having to move. They were more concerned about me being careful not to step on their feet 😊.
