therapet

arrived at the rheumatology unit together with my wheelie suitcase and a little apprehension, which quickly disappeared as I was introduced to everyone and made to feel very much at home. I actually arrived on 3rd, but didn't feel up to blipping much until today.

got seen immediately I arrived by the doctor, who changed my painkillers and discussed various aspects of my stuff and what the plan would be while I'm here. lunch was surprisingly delicious, and disappointing all at the same time. it was my intention to use the hospital food quality and small amounts of it as a means of losing several un-needed pounds during my stay - I lost 1.

had physio on day 2 - ice on my fingers and wrists, ice and electric shocks on my feet!!! (wasn't ready for that) and then the hydro pool - BLISS

I can't begin to describe what it's like stepping into an environment that makes you feel like there's nothing wrong.
