Pain has been reduced thankfully :).
I have been taken to a kitchen to "practice" by an occupational therapist. I made a cuppa tea and a buttered piece of toast. We have chatted about my house and help I will require.
They are going to give me a chair for upstairs and a chair for downstairs. These will be used for me to rest at the correct height. OT (oCc therapist) has taken Dave's number, to organise delivery.
A new waLl bar will be put up and down my staircase. It is not safe for me right now - too steep. What I will have is stair rail on one side and new rail on the other.
With these in place we expect that I will be able to move around the house. Again, OT is going to plan this with Dave.
Initially, I guess that I will be upstairs in bed and using bathroom.
My tea and toast making skills were good. I am, of course, very slow and very tired. However, I can plug keTtle to wall; press on off button, put water in it, find a cup, tea bag, fill cup, find milk, pour milk, tea bag into bin, drink. Sounds easy I know, but it did take me a long time ...
We are both very happy with my progress.
Love you
