Mark finally mobile

Mark has been searching for a 2 door car with as small a budget as possible and Friday he finally got one. Next step - send him out to work!!!

Only JOKING for those of you ready to report me for cruelty to the disabled.

Real next step is trying to find somewhere to live. I've spend days out looking at houses in our budget range but finding something that will be suitable for Mark and wheelchair is not going to be a quick job, so if anyone knows of anything suitable for us let me know, all suggestions welcome.

Mark is still struggling a lot with spasms, some days they are still quite debilitating and painful. His consultant was convinced he would improve when he got home but that definitely hasn't happened so we look forward to what they have to say when we go back this week for his 6 week checkup. It will be difficult to get them to appreciate he has actually gone backwards since he came home in respect of spasms and pain.

It hasn't been all bad though, he's much fitter in general from using the exercise bike, his arms and hands have got stronger and he is able to do more with his hands week on week. Yesterday he was down in the workshop with a friend teaching him how to port an engine head, he had a go himself and was able to do it for a while and to a better standard than the person he was teaching, that was good for his ego - hence I think it's time he went back out to work!!
