Day 39 - Tuesday 30th Sept 2008

Wellington Day 13

The 39 Steps

Margaret was really bubbling today and you could sense the pride she took in her achievements as she was taken down two floors and had to then walk up and down Un-Assisted.

Also improving is her arm movement and she can now raise it up regularly to touch her nose.

The only setback is that her speech has improved so much that she is now telling everyone off, or giving orders to Nicola clean up the room or "leave it alone" to Christopher, referencing to the remote control.

She is looking forward to tomorrow when the therapist is taking her to Tesco Local to buy pasta and then go back to the kitchen to cook it. It was at this point that Margaret decided to tell us that she had already been to the kitchen to cook breakfast. Joseph will be able to have his pasta sauce on Thursdays again soon.

I was able to phone her today and we had a good chat at lunchtime when she told me she had a really good morning, was just having lunch and then an afternoon nap.

I think she deserves it....
