A Home Visit from Claire
March 30th, 2007 @ 1:59 am

Today a physiotherapist named Claire came out, and mum and I had to answer all sorts of questions as she had to evaluate the compatibility of my house with the sort of mobility problems I have; then after it was over she said that this house was set up quite well for me.

Mum and I also told her about my ambition to get back into trialling again, and mum told her about a person that was using a different type of walker to what nan uses.

Then Claire mentioned that there are walkers that can be used inside and outside, and I thought using a walker will be useful as it will give me more support when I do fast pace.

So as she had one with big wheels in her car she brought it out so that I could test it out, then afterwards she started making arrangements so that I could get my own.

    Good to hear that there don’t have to be any changes made at home Jo! Will be interested to see what your walker looks like.

    Yeah, all Claire told us is that the sofa needed to be higher; she said this after looking at the way I get up from it and told us that I am putting strain on my knee as I’m getting up.

    Mum told Claire that I’ll be getting a new one anyway, and I thought Claire’s advice was helpful.
