Yesterday the physio came and set up a tougher regime for me. She is determined that I shall return to Canada in very good state.
We spent quite a lot of time bending my knee (both) backward and in such a manner that the upper leg muscles were all brought into play. She wants these muscles to become extra strong so that I can go up and down stairs without the use of the cane.
We did go up the stairs with out the cane and using both feet.. so to speak.. i.e. not just going up a step with the so called good leg, but alternately. Coming down is bit more tricky as there is a lot of pressure on the legs .
We then walked over high boots, so that it was like climbing over a series of stiles.
Then a few more things. I was quite tired at the end of it and when C and I went off shopping I fell asleep in the car.. and every time there after.
We keep up to date with James hike on the mountain. He seems quite happy and is being blessed with good weather. If he had gone a few days earlier there was nothing but snow and rain .
The school year will be different next year. Instead of the long days.. and only going to school for 4 days.. they will go every day of the week, cutting off 45 minutes from the day, and only a half day on wednesday.
When we lived in France in 1972 the day free was thursday and then they went to school saturday morning.
The flights in Canada have been cancelled I gather, so Sarah is happy as she was to fly to Calgary for a meeting and then return the same day.
Saxophone lessons today.. and it is a balmy plus 15.
