Keep on moving!!!

Brand New Crutches!!

Hi everyone how are you all today??? I am fine & doing well. Having lots of fun in the garden with the gorgeous sunshine we are having at the mo. 
Today at physio my physiotherapist gave me some new bright yellow crutches to use instead of my canes. They are much lighter than my sticks making it easier for me when walking. This is also the next stage for me moving closer to my goal of independent walking. I tried them out with my physiotherapist but I was very unsteady & really didn't have the confidence to trust my new sticks just yet. I didn't really have a good physio session in general today. It was not the best time for me but however a few hours later at home I decided to give my new crutches ago.
My dad recorded me but unfortunately it was just too big to share with you all but my mum did take a shorter video on her mobile which we have put on here for you all to see. I really really surprised my family & they are so proud of me as like I said I only had the crutches roughly 4 hours & now my confidence is coming on leaps & bounds with them. I'm also not so scared of them as I first was. Mummy tells me I was exactly the same when first using my red canes so I will keep on going as I am gaining more & more confidence everyday!!

Take care everyone. Be back soon !!
