Got on ok with the physiotherapist. She manipulated my upper back and did some ultrasound on it and She has given me an exercise to do to help. She was well impressed with my flexibility in my lower back. I can more than touch my toes. I can't quite put my palms on the floor but I can put part of my fingers down.
I spent the afternoon looking through books of old photos of the town where I live, but couldn't even find any of my street, never mind the building my flat is in, which used to be a pub. Then I spent the evening pottering online until I got so tired that I dropped off to sleep and headbutted my laptop keyboard!
The plan for this morning is to go into town, return some library books and buy a few groceries. I'm going to take my shopping trolley, because the number of times I haven't taken it and then have bought too much to carry comfortably you wouldn't believe. I feel a bit like somebody's granny using a shopping trolley, but I just have to try and forget that and remember how much easier it makes things. It's bright red tartan, and it's one of the ones that goes up steps and pavements. I got it from Freegle, so it didn't cost me anything and it's hardly used.
I'm planning on a quiet afternoon, probably reading, and then I'm meeting Mum late afternoon to go to the pictures. We're going to see 'The Iron Lady'. I've seen a couple of documentaries about it and it looks good. I wouldn't usually bother to go to the cinema to see anything, but apparently Mum wanted to go to see 'The King's Speech' and no-one wanted to go with her, so when she told me that I thought I'd offer to go and see this one. She's a staunch Conservative so I think she'll enjoy it.
