Speak

 

One of my current issues I have in my recovery is a lack of a good strong voice. I can be heard in a quiet room or Facetime call but can find it difficult to be heard over the phone or a crowded room.

Now my voice is slowly returning thanks to some Speech Therapy but I want to recommend a free service that may help others Relay UK

  https://www.relayuk.bt.com/

It is a text to speech or speech to text for hard of hearing service that is free for use here in the UK..Check it out it may help.

More business should offer a Relay number like the UK Government does for people that are hard of hearing or speaking.

Happy Christmas

 Today is an important day on two parts. Firstly it marks the "Gotcha day" - the day the dog we rescued from Cyprus arrived in our home in the UK and met us for the first time 7 years ago. She is still going strong and running and playing like she was back then and very much loved by us all. Secondly, it is the day before the day I am going home for a Christmas break from hospital. Now this is a temporary trip and I will be returning to hospital in a few days, but it is a trial of how I will survive at home, and feedback important information to help plan any future needs for when I go home permantly. Importantly, I will get to see my family, friends,and my dog at home for the first time in 9 months. I will cherish it. Happy Christmas everyone. #happyholidays  #happychristmas  #happyfriday  #content

That is a movement using legs and arms to pull myself to a standing position and sit back down again all in a controlled fashion and from varying heights. Believe me the lower you sit the harder it is to push up! Now fast forward to Thursday 19 October. My brilliant Physiotherapist gave me a choice, more of the same or standing and sitting using a walking aid called a Zimmer Frame, being up for a challenge I choose the Zimmer Frame. After standing and sitting, unaided, using the Zimmer Frame a few times my Physio turned to me and said “You are ready to walk” . After which, I was attached to a safety harness and proceeded to take my first steps in six months of being in hospital using a zimmer frame for support. Not one step, Not three steps, But fifty steps in total, yes fifty. It hurt, it was hard work but my mind and body were determined to do...
