Good news for once!
My osteopath gave me some exercises and I managed to get out of a chair without using my arms! A very small step but it felt amazing as it's proof that slowly but surely I'm making progress. Also feeling a bit more like my old self in general but the cognitive issues are definitely still there and very debilitating.
The funding for the power chair's been approved and so I should be able to get out and about more easily. The real proof will be trying to get taxis but I'll give it a go. I mean, it's no bigger or heavier than a suitcase when folded so they can't really object. Should mean I can get to the Lindsey Buckingham and Abba Voyage shows I booked ages ago!
I've also found that by detuning my guitar a whole step I'm able to play as slacker strings means you can do more with a lighter touch. Even tried singing a bit and if it's really detuned I can sort of hold a tune.
Think the Kegel's are starting to have an impact as well!
Slowly but surely I'm making progress! All the best for Easter everyone and thanks for all your support!
