I broke with tradition at breakfast and had fried egg, bacon and the dark European bread.
As I was not feeling great I retired to 219 and rested up then had a long video call with Catharine while she was walking the dog, it all looked great and I am looking forward to being home by mid morning Friday.
I reported to Greta Nedzinskienė that my leg felt very stiff this morning and she said she was not surprised following the aqua therapy session yesterday. Another good session with Greta1 this morning and I am now feeling a lot better than when I woke up. As a result of my feeling out of sorts I forgot about Polarised Light therapy and had to rearrange that after I had been to Physiotherapy, the ladies in the department were very accommodating and gave me the light treatment and then straight into the cryo therapy. The physical time of the treatments is 3 minutes for Polarised light treatment and then 10 minutes for the cryogenic therapy.
As this meant that my schedule was a little delayed I went straight up to the 3rd floor for my massage during which my ability to stay awake while undergoing the treatment was failing and I just hope I didn’t snore too much!
As with the last couple of days I returned to 219 to rest before lunch which I had with Tony and Chris and we met the recent arrival Sue from Wrexham. Having checked my sugar levels I noted that I was down at 4.5 so I didn’t inject. Fish again for lunch although as usual there was plenty of choice.
My positivity had returned fully now and I decided to take a walk in the early afternoon sunshine down the dam over the river.
The icee showing signs of melting and a lot of slush on the footpath so I had to be very careful about where I walked. The large puddles on the road also meant that when cars came passing by there was a risk of being sprayed! Luckily I was unaffected!
On returning to 219 I felt pretty worn out and took to my bed for a bit before I had to prepare for my last session of the day, aqua therapy this time with Greta Rakauskaite. As usual with Greta it was good fun with her references to the concept that she had disposed of John’s body in the woods and that he hadn’t really gone home; the messages from his phone were written by Greta! SHe obviously watches too much Netflix! It is a fantastic facility and again I was impressed by the use of technology for the security aspects. After the exercises in the treatment pool you have an opportunity to relax in the water for a few minutes which is very nice.
It is great to see my two legs upright and parallel:
I am now preparing for my penultimate dinner….
Had a good chat with Sue from Wrexham along with Tony and Chris and arranged to meet them in the bar for a drink on my last night here…
I was a little delayed as I had a call from Mike and Hazel giving me an update, Mike’s 2nd test has come back negative but Hazel’s was still positive. Otherwise they aree doing fine but Hazel is very tired and keeps on sleeping.
In the bar I met up with Tony and Chris and a delightful couple from Ukraine. We had a good chat for a while but Tony and Chris were keen not to be too late with thee Ukranians leaving very early in the morning. They also needed to get some early rest.
Back to 219 and I tidied up and had a chat with Catharine making final arrangements for tomorrow night. Then I popped in to see the nurse to get a painkilling injection as the knee has swollen from all the activity today. She also recommended that I have one tomorrow before I set off for Vilnius.
