As regular readers will know, i have had some problems with my knee over the past 6 weeks or so, ever since falling when I was climbing down Pen y fan. Well yesterday, thanks to fabulous church contacts, I received some physio on it. I have strained a ligament in my knee, but if i rest it and perform an incredibly painful massage on it regularly, I should be back to normal in a few weeks. I am trying to rest it as much as possible, but there are some things that just have to be done. Trying to find a balance is proving difficult.
On the life in all its fullness question I asked last week - i do think that disabled people can have a full life. I think it depends on their support network, the professionals dealing with them, the extent of their problems and their own personal strength and determination. But it can be done. Some of the achievements that disabled people have made, really are amazing - if you sit down and listen to their life story. I mean, look at the para-olympics. Thanks to those who contributed own thoughts and opinions, and Jo - I will talk to you about my personal experiences in 2 weeks time.
