UPDATE:

After 4 very long months I've been told today that I can try to go upstairs. No more sleeping on the settee for me. Yippppeeee.

I can walk with a zimmer frame to the downstairs loo and out to the car but that has been a fight. I'm glad I didn't know just how long it was going to take right at the beginning. Most journeys are still in a wheelchair. Never mind, still hoping to be on my feet by Bedworth.

Incidentally I have lost 2.5 inches on my left side. Anyone got an idea how to

Thanks for all the emails etc.
