Time is Marching on!

We have had more snow on and off for a week, not very deep but some nasty blizzards.  This is not unusual for up here we often have snow in March and at least the days are getting longer.  The worst snow for many years was the March I came home from hospital after my stroke and Liz had had to dig the drive out for days.

The stroke rehab session I mentioned last month may be saved but I would have to pay £5.50 for a 45 minute session.  This is very expensive and we have been looking at membership of the leisure club as it would work out cheaper for longer. The only problem is I wouldn't have the lady who is Stroke trained  watching me exercise.  

Nell has an obsession with chasing rabbits and we have had to add more chicken wire to some of the fences.  She can still escape when she sees a rabbit and is difficult to get back especially as I struggle to get over our style and have to walk all the way round the road.  It is a big worry! 

I am still waiting to hear about more physio after my visit to see the specialist in January, my next appointment  with her is next week and nothing has changed!  I haven't been wearing my leg brace as it comes with a soft sandal and that is really not practical living here especially in the snow and ice.  Plus Nell has decided to chew the sandal and it now has no straps so I can't use it!  

I am now well into doing my jigsaws thanks mostly to the easier ones I got for my birthday!  I have completed a couple of 250 and a 500 piece jigsaws and am now onto a map of Europe which is harder because it is smaller pieces but my brain is starting to focus on the task.
