Day 9 Heatwave & Physio

I bet loads of you have been saying / thinking, "Lucky old Jenny, being able to laze around in the sunshine...".

That's not the case at all. I have never been a sun lover and have been staying indoors in the cool, except really early in the morning before the sun comes round the corner.


The forecast for for the next week looks like it might be the end of the REALLY hot weather and back to normal summer values. The garden could certainly do with some rain.

I picked a physiotherapist at random from the Google results for our locality, and it seems I've hit the jackpot !

Jacqueline is a typical down to earth Rotterdam lady and fully lives up to the Dutch saying of "Niet lullen maar putsen" = "Roll yer sleeves up and get on with it". 

I found these nice pics of how to go up and down stairs :~)

UP: Lead with the un-operated (good) leg first, followed by the operated leg and then the crutch/stick.

Down: Put the crutch on the step below, then step down with the operated leg, followed by the un-operated leg.



Walking with crutches is not to difficult but there are some interesting alternatives:

More variations tomorrow
