    Bath went really, really well. The accommodation was good and close to the hospital - actually walking distance (Si and I tried it out on Wednesday) but I was sensible (I know!) when I realised what the weather was doing and booked a taxi for the morning. Yesterday was really positive, although there was an element of what we’ve been doing and lessons learned, the focus was more on what comes next, both over the next 3 months til our next follow up and beyond that. We did ask whether we could have an additional follow up at 12 months but I think that’s unlikely. The day’s given me ideas and impetus for more changes - inc I’m going to try swimming in the new year. What was really encouraging was the physical measures - in the 4 weeks, they expect these to improve but, after that at the 3 month follow up, they expect the measures to plateau. Mine improved dramatically yesterday - one of them is standing up and sitting down on a chair and how many times it’s done in 1 minute. When I started the course, I managed 7 using 2 crutches. At the end of the 4 weeks, I managed 16 with no crutches. Yesterday, no crutches obvs, I managed 28. I’m a wee bit proud
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
