..barney and jojo make friends

..ok so i have a whole new understanding of barney..and i wasnt playing very nice previously.. i went and saw my aunt again today..and seriously they make their point good and proper about how serious yada yada yada..

..anyway my physio was super happy with me today..she is very happy in the increase in strength of inner quads..and the core strength improvement in lunges is impressive(her words)..bridges i couldnt do a few weeks ago are easy.woo hoo

..i brought up squash drills and didnt get clobbered on the head..we negotiated instead to angled lunges(id asked for lunges with a squash racquet) maybe in 2weeks :) but she did mention on numerous occasions no squash til december
and and and (breathe)
even when i said but what if it gets better quicker..she was like we'll see
..and hten we discussed me doing 10-12kms on weekends(slow pace)
and and and(breathe jojo)
then i said as i was leaving i was wanting at some stage to do consecutive days(even of the second one was only a km and a half..she eyeballed me and said let me think about it..but was smiling at me...(i dont know exactly what i sadi but hse laughed and said im not an idiot jo i KNOW you want to do consecutive days) no getting in trouble..woohoo..and it didnt hurt her making a nice comment about my weight too!!!!
woohoo.. there was serious improvement this week...and my aunt did the strength tests and they were happy(and then she said again you do realise how serious loss of power is..many doctors send straight to neuro and then in for operation.. eek thankj god i had a different doctor)

completely lost my voice today, made teaching very hard today.will take tomorrow off(not sick so it will be nice day :)

um um um um in case you cant tell, im an excited little pussycat... jojo gives barney an affectionate little pat...good boy barney

I have only the vaguest clue of what you're talking about, but it sounds good.

In answer to your question about Physio.....Yes, very cute, in a very rugged, blokey kind of way :0)

Sounds like things are really starting to fall into place now....will keep my fingers crossed for you!
