Video star again
Hey everybody.
Becky was assessed again by the physiotherapy doctor and some video footage shot of much of the same stuff as we did on arrival. Her strength is much better than it was – leg lifts on the bed supine and sitting on the edge of the bed and lifting her legs. Although the doc was speaking in Chinese to the assistant taking notes, I’m pretty sure that he was impressed with the improvement. On that first assessment they had asked Becky if she could stand and balance on her own, which she couldn’t. Today, though, after a couple false starts, she showed them! Stood by herself from a lower chair than she usually works from in physio too!
Living on noodles and pasta sauce, cheese and crackers, and the last of the food we’ve got in the fridge. Not too bad as we are looking forward to our first meals on Canadian soil.
Tomorrow, our last full day!! Final packing up of the suitcases! Pat ordered a fruit and flower basket for the staff that he’ll pick up tomorrow at noon. I’m laying low. I, unbelievably, am fighting the second cold in a month here. Trying not to share it around. It was just too polluted today to go out. Yuck.
2 more sleeps! Well, 3 kinda, 2 in these lovely cushy beds, (not) and then one squirming in the most ergonomically unfriendly airplane seats I’ve ever encountered. But it’s all good, will try to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
love love,
Becky, Pat and kim
