Week Three Updates
22 May 2023Left leg quivers after a hard physio work out today the most movement in 3 weeks.
Also had some nerve pain and pinching feeling for the last 3 days in left butt cheek which is painful but a good sign that feeling is coming back. But no further feeling in other places. Can see that my legs are attached to me but just feels like I am floating from the waist down or there's nothing there.
Have been diagnosed with something called FND functional neurological disorder.
Have been moved last week down to the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation ward where I am doing daily hydrotherapy and physiotherapy as well as working with the OT on learning how to complete small tasks like, transfers from bed to chair, bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to shower chair.
Have independence in toileting and can now shower and dress myself.
Also working on combating tasks you would have at home like making a cuppa tea and this week will be working on sitting in a higher chair for doing some meal prep.
On weekends I am aloud out on day leave.
Haven't had the chance to feel bored or stuck in here yet as there is definitely no shortage of visitors, I am definitely very lucky to have such amazing friends and family ❤️
