Did a test this morning that involved putting small pegs in small holes then taking them out again against a stopwatch. Unsurprisingly my right hand was a few seconds quicker than my left hand! No problems there then.

Carol visited and remarked that my voice was sounding better and that I only cleared my throat once while she was there. She checked that I was doing the exercises correctly particularly the Shaker exercise, I have to make sure I’m working the correct muscles. The other positive comment was when I opened my mouth and went arrrh, not moving to the left quite as much perhaps? I’ve supplied a data key so hopefully I’ll get a copy of the video in the next few days.

My new consultant Dr Brain visited as well all very positive she wants to keep me in a while longer to make sure my swallow makes a speedy recovery. when I am allowed home she will still see me to make sure I get back my previous fitness, no rushing allowed I need to do these things slowly. Autumn on the Grit then?

Do you think Dr Brain changed her name when she became a neurologist or was being called Brain the reason for her taking up this branch of medicine or maybe she sought out a Mr Brain to marry?
