We have finally settled back into a normal pattern of life after our trip away. We still have not had a visit from the physio but it has been programmed for next week, so fingers crossed. We have been doing some modified exercise – Jill is finding walking very difficult but she is so determined to keep on her feet. The last visit from the speech therapist as she is leaving to have a baby and a new one is being organised. While we were away I found a new sling to get Jill into the car – our biggest problem. The site is

and there is a video of how it is used. With a bit of luck we may be able to get some Government assistance to have it installed into the Jeep.
I have been working on the van – I have installed the recliners and had Jill out there on Sunday – she reclined and watched TV in the van while I cleaned up. Our next move is to decide how to install a table. Looks like we will finish up with two independent tables. I have had to remove the gas heating as it was installed under the old seating and I am about to reinstall it under the wardrobe. I have just phoned an electrician to come and fix the 240v wires and switches which were under the old seating and when I get the heater into place I need a gas fitter ( plumber) to sign off and do the final gas installation.
We have had Pat here for lunch on Saturday – Keith is in hospital having his second knee replaced last Thursday. Kym’s, Hamish is home from hospital and has just commenced his second round of Chemo Therapy so Our fingers are crossed and our thoughts are with them.
Nicole is back at work and Riley is attending day care two days per week. he seems to be enjoying this new adventure but like most kids attending day care he has picked up a cold and passed it onto Chris and Nicole. He is walking and we are certain he is close to talking – not just babble. They spent the weekend with Allison & Chris.
Well I had better get Jill up as Jeannette will probably Skype us about 11.30am
See you on the net.
