Just been to hozzie to see my consultant mr mecci at james cook to
see if he was going to help me and to fight for the chance to get
some rehab.

I've been without any help since i had my op that left me with ces
and it is now looking that my luck is starting to come back.

He asked me what i wanted from him and what i wanted back in my life
like some of us on this site,We would all love to get some mobility
back and for must of us that are in a chair to be able to walk if not
all the time.Even if it is afew steps it would still make a big
difference to our life's.

so i feel lucky when i have won the fight and have just been offered
4 weeks rehab and to get this i just have to get off my MST which i
dont like taking anyway,As my wife said back in may when i saw mr
mecci i was not in the right frame of mind and i didnt have the fight
like i do now.

But back in may i was on alot of drugs and i was very down where now
i have all the fight and the right frame of mind so bring rehab on.
