Day 2

November 8th, 2006

I slep well, a solid 24 hours to my room-mates surprise. He had a little trouble with jet lag. I seem to have adjusted well and feel I am on track time wise. I would really love a shower but am having a little difficulty with the bathroom as I cannot seem to figure out how to get the wheelchair in there. Ours is not set us as well for a wheelchair as some others are. Oh well, our room is bigger so we will just have to make do. I have met several of the other patients and everyone seems to be very friendly. I guess all being here with a common purpose helps to forge bonds quickly. I had my first session of physio today. Accupuncture followed by electrical stimulation, the standing frame and balance exercises. We finished off with a little chinese massage. It was not nearly as long as others I noticed and I had to sit up for it as opposed to laying down. Now what gives with that Back to the room for a few hours then downstairs for dinner. That was about all the engery I had before calling it a day. The room is set up with a TV and a DVD player so that was nice.
