Another terrible night but hydrotherapy has sorted me right out! Relaxed in places I had forgotten hurt.

snow day and my daughter is off school, my catheter stoma has stopped weeping and my headache has passed

Gynaecology Appointment at R Hospital

Dr A asked how frequently Rachael was bleeding and how heavily. He asked as to her previous treatment. Dr A recommended Norethisterone for 21 days then a break of 5 days. He also advised of the next stages and possible procedures if Norethisterone was not effective.

Visit from Physiotherapist

Kathryn came with an assistant physiotherapist to train staff on how to manipulate Rachael's muscles and joints when she is in pain. Demonstration and practice occurred. Kathryn said she would get us a copy of a booklet detailing all movements shown.
