Starting stroke rehab

My first stroke rehab session at the Cardiac Unit today. Apparently I get 8 sessions at the rehab gym to work on building strength, co-ordination etc.

I did a heap of different exercises but nothing that I would say was really strenuous. I found it difficult walking round two cones.  I know it sounds weird but as soon as I stopped concentrating because it was mind numbing I nearly fell over.  A wee spin on the bike, a treadmill, some co—ordination exercises – they aren’t easy.

So today was basically an assessment session for the nurses to see where I am starting from. I think I’m quite looking forward to the sessions starting and meeting the other candidates.
