In Memoriam: Eiona R
166/365 Sunday Reflections
Taken at Swansea Vale Ponds, a place I often come to on a Sunday afternoon. This time however , the truth of the matter is that last Monday after we'd arrived home from an early morning visit to Swansea Beach to get my daily physio in , is that my legs packed up entirely after it. 'Packed up' in so much as I could stand but whilst my brain tried telling me to put one foot in front of the other, it wasn't happening. I contacted my Neurology team immediately and the following day , I had a 'Virtual Appointment' with the Lead Physio who confirmed what I'd suspected all along - I'd burned out my legs in overdoing the walking but given time and rest they'd recover.
I've rested them all week apart from the odd jaunt out in the car so today we came here to test them.
I'm not out of the woods yet, but so thankful for the help I've had from my GP, who rang at 7 pm on Friday, my MS Team and last and not least , my very significant better half who's been my gopher , including helping getting my photo props from a) to b) , listened to the tears but in the middle of all that he told me how proud he was ( and is ) of my determination and tenacity and that he's rather see me like this than giving in to it and be a cabbage in the corner.
PS Please no sympathy - there are others in this current global crisis who are living with Domestic Abuse and worse.
