Another visit to Stoke Mandeville paralysis unit today.
The staff are lovely and I always appreciate Mr Belci, my consultant. However the place brings back so many awful memories.
Once again I had the maximum dosage allowed of Botox injected into my legs- an attempt to reduce my leg muscles from spasming.
It definitely doesn’t stop it, but it must be reducing it – it’s inconceivable that so much Botox has no impact.

As we went into the building, there was a young woman leaving with tears in her eyes. Had she just visited her boyfriend/ her dad/ her sister that was freshly paralysed, their life forever ruined? Who knows.

Once again my huge thanks to Gina, without whom I wouldn’t be able to do much.
I drove my van ( that has a large wheelchair lift ) but it would all be very nerve wracking without her help.
