Physio

My legs and back have been giving me quite a bit of "gyp" lately. I finally got a doctor to agree to refer me to the physiotherapist, and I had my first session today. What a blessing! He is an Indian from India - Sunit Kumar - and is excellent at his job. He worked on my back for about 40 minutes (traction, aligning of my spine, ultra sound, kneading and massaging to break down knots) and when I got up to go, I found that for the first time in ages, I could balance squarely above my 2 legs. I stood up straight and there was no need for my walking stick! I am quite tender from the treatment, and will still need a few more sessions with him, BUT I am not off balance. I have also been given exercises to strengthen the right muscles. I am smiling.

Only one lady (Iva Henry) came to the 4.30 pm Jamestown BWA, so we went and visited a Sandy Bay lady (Pamela Henry) that is in hospital.

While I was cooking supper, Graeme was practising his trumpet in the schoolroom next door with a fellow trumpeter (Tom). They try and "stretch" each other to play better. It reminded me of when Graeme's brass band used to meet for practices in our garage in SA. A happy sound. Our dog, Cho, only "sings" when Graeme plays the music she knew in SA.

Arthur came home from his English class all full of bounce. He got an 'A' for his oral.

A good day has been had by all 3 Becketts.
