weeks after the last disappointment(linkhttps://strokeandmirrors.uk/?p=87 1) where I’d had to commit to 2 more weeks we allmet again in the physio room,I went in all guns blazing after a night of thinking things weren’t progressing and I’d be stuck in HMP Hospital 3forever.

I set off saying I was finding physio hard work and the progress slow, the physios weren’t saying the same they said they pushed me hard because I could do it and their view was my progress was steady and ok.

I said I was home sick missed my family and belongings; this fell on deaf ears as I’d expected, I’d thought the previous night of alternative discharge methods (ie getting kicked out) my choices were:

Stop engaging with physio all together, but that reallywouldn’t help me, go on hunger strike (link to body image chapter, the big weight loss was found around this time) or start being abusive to staff,

I could maybe do number1 but 2/3 wouldn’t happen.

I didn’t even mention these in the meeting. I was told I needed another 2 weeks with a focus on toileting safely with the standing transfers so I’d be ok to do that at home, Rich did try to help me up and turn that day from a wheelchsir to the toilet but it very nearly did his back in and it wasn’t safe for either of us.
