Day 5

December 23rd, 2006

Monday started with Blaz waking us all up before the sun. We did the usual morning routine until about 8:45 and then Blaz had his first physio session. He seemed to be quite tense in his arms, I think he is just settling in, and needs to build a repal with Tony (the physio). He seems to be very eager and passionate about his job which is good to see. This session was mainly based on him assessing Blaz and his abilities. As usual Blaz gave him a bit of shit, but he will be fine when he gets used to him.

After physio we came back to our very humbly abode and it was time for Adrians daily acupuncture. Once again i think the acupuncturist was just testing Adrians tolerance. He seemed to do alright with it. The needles look heaps bigger than the ones he gets back home.

I caught a quick taxi to the pearl markets to stock up on some dvd’s, bargain, 13 for $24. I also sussed out the markets so we can take Blaz there on a trip. Its definately a go.

The afternoon consisted of chilling inside, a good idea considering it reached -6 today. We had another physio session at 4:30 with Tony. He worked on his arms and legs, mainly stretches and passive work.

Mum joined the nurses yoga class, it will be something nice and soothing to do a couple of times a week.

I think Blaz may be getting his first injection on Friday, so its all getting pretty exciting, we have a meeting on Wednesday with the doctors, so we’ll see how that goes. Get some questions answered.
