2nd May:Onward and outward
Another great milestone today. It was a very mild still day (Yes, they do occur in Wellington!), so Mike's physio and I wheeled Mike around the block. At first we went through a nice quiet garden area, but then we continued down busy High Street with the traffic whizzing by. Mike coped really well, so once back inside Sue, the physio took us on a tour of the rehab gym and the hydrotherapy pool. I could see the determined glint in his eye at the sight of all the fitness machinery. Sue must have noticed too because in the gym she got Mike to walk about 5 metres one way, supporting himself on two parallel bars. After a rest he walked back again. So that was his first walk without other people supporting him. Once we were back in his room he was really exhausted but feeling very pleased with his progress.

Your amazing progress continues, Mike. There will be no holding you back now with all that fitness gear close by, except for the need to pace yourself.

Can't wait to see you upright Mike! Incredible that you've toured the joint already, outside and in! And such a good feeling to join the human race again,with all its dust and noise.Sleep tight, Gran.
Way to go Happy!
