Physio update.

So today was my last day of intense one on one physio. There'll be more, but from now on its gym sessions then a review in a month (for anyone paying attention, tomorrow is my orthotics fitting so the review in a month thing lets the physio see how well I'm doing while having my legs corrected), and then I will be told to join a gym and spread my own little wings and take some responsibility for my own   work outs.

What matters from today's session is the physio retest. I scored 50/56 on "admission", proving I'm not as contractured or disabled as others, and today I scored 56/56. Two months of weekly visits has already made a significant change. Hopefully with more work and the orthotics, things will continue to improve. 

In other news, I rang my local MP to find out more about their stance on the subtle cuts not only in disability support but also in work schemes for the disabled. I've blogged before about not doing unsupported posts, and I plan on reading up about cuts before I go on a gut busying tirade, but if what little I have read is true, then it's deeply worrying. 

Fortunately, my managers  manager told me recently she felt that I was doing "really well" after three months in my new post and my manager by proxy (my own manager got one of those holiday things I hear so much about) told me I was doing "well". I feel I'm doing fair to middling (which I think is a nonsense phrase meaning "it's ok but I'm being modest") but I would rather under estimate myself than get over confident. My own managers recent preformce review of me is so good that I feel it's not a review at all but inspiration to do better again this year. I've said as much and he laughed, which is code for he's caught.

So orthotics tomorrow, in the mean time, enjoy this gem:
