Botox results!

Well, all I can really say about the Botox injections is that the jury is still out on this one! They have definitely not made any major difference, but Pete has indicated that he thinks they have loosened his wrist and hand a bit, but I can't really see it myself. Also today we have received the appointment date for his next round of injections - early in July, which would be fine except that it is the same date as he has a haematology appointment, and, as there are only 20 minutes between the appointments, it's not really going to work (bearing in mind that we have waited an hour or more in each department before)!!!! So I am going to have to change one of them - eeny, meeny, miney, mo!!!
Meanwhile, Pete's urine infection is clearing I think, although not completely better yet. His leg doesn't seem to be giving him too much grief at the moment, which is about the only good thing going on at the moment!
Today we have been discussing with Martin the benefits of the Motability Scheme, which would go a long way towards solving our car problem. I must admit I was a bit dubious about getting involved in this but have been persuaded that it would be a good thing. I thought it would involve applying to someone and loads of paperwork, but it seems you pick your car (a Porsche please, thank you very much!!) and then approach the local Dealer to sort it out! Easy peasey!!! I think!! The thing is that, at the moment, we have a Honda Jazz which is ideal for Pete to get in and out of and the wheelchair fits in, no problem, and, coincidentally, I am learning to drive in a Jazz Automatic. Pete seems pretty adamant this is the car he wants. He would definitely qualify for the scheme as he receives Disability Living Allowance which includes the motability allowance at the high level. He would forfeit this bit of DLA, but in return would get a brand new car of his choice (and yes, the Honda Jazz is one of the models available), taxed and insured and all repairs paid for, etc. basically it is on lease for 5 years, then you get another new one!! No brainier!! So now we are going to go for this - I hope it is as easy as it sounds and there are no hidden snags!
I will keep you informed as to how this progresses.

  3. Hopefully things will improve with progressive treatments I think as Botox has proved to be effective in treating certain medical conditions. But get it done from a trained practitioner. There are botox courses for nurses as well who are now performing the treatment but that is usually for cosmetic purposes.
