Wednesday

With Daniel back in his walking frame yesterday the therapist decided to do a lot more work with it today. First Daniel walked with his frame around the physio suite, which was further than he could manage yesterday, and with his feet landing quite flat to the floor as well.
Next came a treadmill session where Daniel walked sideways for 2 minutes each side, backwards for 2 minutes, and then forwards for 2 minutes!
To finish there was more frame walking around the physio suite and to give everyone an idea of the intensity for Daniel, he is basically walking until his legs give way.
After a bit of a rest back in our room Daniel even managed to use his frame to walk down for our evening meal.
The progress is steady and the improvement can be seen daily. Daniel even said tonight that since the operation, "My left thumb works better now!"
