Tuesday June 27/Therapy

 Just a few lines to record the main event of the day. An Uber to Wigmore Street to visit a physiotherapist, who did a great deal of massage on my back. Whether or not I am better off, I am not sure. We will just have to wait and see. 

I do seem to be walking around a bit better. But I think the main message we got from the obviously knowledgeable  therapist was that the back and leg situation will slowly correct itself. This meant, for example, that I should take my time before I decide to go to a neurosurgeon.

I have booked another appointment for next Thursday. The therapist talks about acupuncture, but I am nor sure if I want to have all those needles stuck into me.

The therapist recommended a hot water bottle  to use around my hip and told us that the heat pad we have--the one we put in the microwave--could better be placed around my neck. I did that, and I thought it felt very good--though as to what it actually accomplished, I remain unsure.

Joan came back from Boots with the new hot water bottle, and I had a session with it. I think it was much better than the heating pad as it covered a wider area.

Well--let's see how things go...
