Yet another first -well’sort of my 51st birthday. So wonderful my first meal with my daughters in 4 years. So happy for the first time in a very long time. For those just starting out on this post-stroke journey, please know there’s light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.

A first, last and a non-starter.
I was due to have surgery today 21/1/26 to reverse the acquinovarus contractures to my leg muscles and tendons and ligaments due to inactivity which has deformed my legs making the prospect of walking again unlikely. The transfer from the nursing home to the hospital was delayed by 8 hours because there was no bed available, after waiting all day for the surgery, at 6pm the surgery was indefinitely canceled, i’m now waiting to be transferred back to the nursing home. A new date for the surgery is yet to be set!

Oh my goodness Michelle. I don’t say this often, but that really is dreadful and I am so sorry you have had to endure this.
Knowing you as I think I do, I hope you will be able to accept that an unfortunate thing has happened, it has happened and there is nothing you can do about it. Accept it you must and look to the future, knowing that things will get better and you will walk again.
I hope I have not misunderstood you.
This first is not a last - don’t let it be such.

Oh what a disappointment. I really hope it gets rearranged quickly for you. This will make such a difference to you. I am frustrated on your behalf.
