I learnt so many things at the physio session today. I realise that there are so many areas that we have not explored that can enable him to walk better, feel more comfortable, build up more muscle strength and have less pain. I mean, we knew that there was much more that could be done but we were not aware of the ways to reach the correct people who had the expertise who could really pay attention to us, listen and give advice. I think that's the missing link between the correct therapy and those who need it. Someone has to bridge the two, someone who has the authority to make the referrals or someone who has gone through similar therapy. We're glad his MO referred him here. We learnt some different exercises that he could do at home to build up his muscles, tips on what was "wrong" with the way he was walking, tips on how to improve his balance when walking/standing and even massage methods to slowly reduce the sensitivity of the nerves in his leg. It was indeed a fruitful session.

Listening to the questions posed by the physiotherapist and his answers to them also made me realise that there are some things that he went through last year that I am unaware of. Not that I don't want to ask or that I don't want to know, and not that he doesn't want to tell me, but these are just things that would never have crossed my mind to ask him about regarding his operation last year. And on his part there would be no "need" to tell me unless we were actually talking about such things. I mean, I don't even know that we have 2 bones in our calve so I wouldn't think of asking him how the operation was performed on those 2 bones. I learnt quite alot by listening to the conversation between him and the physiotherapist today. I'm not exactly sure how (because I wouldn't know what to ask) , but I would want to find out more about him and the amputation. I mean, I want to know all about my darling. If he is to be my husband, I must know, mustn't I? How else can I understand more about his condition and help him in the physio therapy sessions at home if I don't even know the facts? He's so much a part of of my life now that he's almost like a part of me already.

You know, what I feel forhim is indescribable......
