It does seem a little strange to show you this video of my walking, but considering it's taken about 5 months to get from totally paralysed to walking unaided on a beach in Ugg boots (essential for hiding my ankle splint - my left foot still has total foot drop), I had to share it with you!
My arms are still very floppy, and my left hand is still very swollen and not moving much, which is the reason I'm still needing so much help with things, but I think improving v slowly.
We've just spent a week in Spain with my parents in their flat, and it was incredible. I swam every day in the outdoor pool, with the help of a large float (and husband on standby - the risk of slipping or sinking was rather real..!), and being in the sunshine was just wonderful. We even found a fab physio (called Antonio) who worked on my hands every day while John and Dad drank coffee in the cafe next door.
Now I'm back in London, and having ongoing physio most days, and hoping my hands/arms hurry up and get stronger.
Hope everyone is well,
Love,
Laura
