November 2016 Newsletter Edition
The month of November 2016 has been a month of new beginnings of sorts.
On November 10th 2016 I had my intake appointment for a physiotherapist taking responibility for the oversight of my physiotherapy. My physiotherapist originally worked in a hospital setting. She was a physiotherapist while I was going through my childhood treatment in 1979 to 1981. She is familiour with the side effects caused by the treatment methods of the period.
My physical intake assessment showed a spectacuator weakness in my hip joints from me not having healed from my hip replacement surgeries in February 2015 and May 2013. Additionally my quad muscles (between my knees and hips) need strengthening if the symptoms are to improve.
As the month progressed I began experiencing setbacks. My body isn't responding as expected to the typical exercises used to treat hip and knee joint weakness. It is making sense to the physiotherapist why I've spent 20 months engaged in physiotherapy with very limited success. Any progress I make will be very slow.
As the month came to an end I had plans forming to spend time with family and friends that formed my time in Bible college 19 years ago. I will be very glad for their company. My dad is ill with liver cancer. There isn't much stability in my life right now.
