Hi everyone,

All is going well here , i started having treatment on my legs this week including accupunture which now invovles about another 20 needles for your information Astrid, and its pain.I also have to do what they call standing treatment which is where you have to stand on a angled platform and you get strapped in to lean on a table and i have to stand there for 20 minutes and it stretches the back of the calf muscle and its painful. I am getting wave therapy and andy recomended that i buy a machine to keep my muscles strong.The machine send pulses into your muscles making the muscles looser.I can now stand up in physio unsupported for at least five minutes and i can nearly get back into the wheelchair by myself.I had another lumbar punture on monday and a iv on friday and i am having my last treatment tommorow which is another lumbar punture.We are having a day off today.Thank you all for your comments i appreciate it i am missing you all , i hope touch is going well i will write again during the week. love the Irwins
