A New Season and New Goals

Goals are part of any marathon challenge. (See the reference to many marathons in our last posting.)

And Isabel has new goals for her marathon for improved health and well-being. Isabel's therapists told her that they expected a list of typed goals to start off the autumn, and Isabel's one flying finger zipped around her laptop. More mobility in her fingers, hands and arms; and increased strength and balance to help with transfers topped the list that was printed out to hand to her therapists last Monday morning.

And what was the result of Isabel presenting her list?

Extra walking each week; daily electrode shock therapy to three paralysed fingers; a new regime of a 45 minute intensive workout while sitting on Rufus (her power-chair); cycling on a stationery bicycle; and new exercises to strengthen her weaker ankle.

There is an amazing team of seven therapists doing amazing work on Unit 2-6 at Wascana, and Mum, you are the amazing leader of this inspired team!
