[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 166699, member: 1991"] I suspect a physiotherapist is much the same as a physical therapist. I'll ask her tomorrow. I've seen her before, for another problem; a few years ago my mobility scooter tipped over on top of me and I was covered in bruises as well as having twisted my back, my neck and a few other things. She panelbeated me back into shape over a few weeks. She's very good. The doctor didn't say how long the recovery will be, but I noticed tonight that my leg began hurting again because I had been a bit more active, maybe taken bigger strides than I have been. Since I began taking it VERY gently and taking note of what seems to make it worse (and avoiding such activities) it does seem to be improving. The doctor today was telling me to use cold packs for the pain when it gets too bad, and to take something for it. I felt rather guilty, because in fact the pain isn't really bothering me, beyond the knowledge that it has signified that something is wrong. In other words, I can put up with THIS pain. Maybe it's because of everything else I take for all my other pain. Oh well, there need to be SOME blessings in life! The funeral - she was a long-term resident, she and her husband moved to this village sixty years ago when there would have been only a handful of people and access was far more limited than now (and we're still isolated now). She was a kind, caring person who did a lot for people because she wanted to and because she felt she should share any of her own talents and good fortune. The whole village has developed with an air of "we all help one another" and while this attitude seems to be fading in these modern times, our isolation seems to keep pushing us into looking after each other here. I'm not sure how old she was, but way past 80 I think. She used to paint, to sculpt in clay, to arrange flowers, to grow anything pretty, and also taught a lot of these things too. She was only an amateur at any of it (although she didn't seem to think she was!) but always enjoyed whatever she was doing, was always busy. I used to hold my writing class in her home and we shared a lot of stories. She never held high office, never attended university (not even sure if she finished high school), never really stood out for anything more than simply being a good, kind, genuine person who just liked everybody. She was the sort of person who could be a friend to you regardless of any age difference or any other difference. I'll miss her now she has died, but glad she had a good, long life and was well respected. Marg [/QUOTE]
