Saw the Occupational Therapist Friday afternoon

Posted on May 16, 2021 by Sandra Chung

And was shown (painfully) how I was standing and walking incorrectly. Ian apologised for it, but I told him not to worry, because it’s like telling a child something is hot, they don’t believe it until they touch something hot. … Continue reading →

Part one done

Posted on May 19, 2020 by Sandra Chung

Saw “Meg the Motivator” (afterward, at home, I call her Meg the Merciless!).  Because my heel was taped up in such a fashion, there was no pain, so I sort of overdid it on the weekend and again on Monday.  … Continue reading →
