Good morning lovely Sylvia !!!

I am SO ready for my lovely breakfast today - I will need 2 lots please as I missed out yesterday :-D :-D

Hope the physio went well and I'm pleased to hear that you are doing REALLY well <3 <3 <3

Dea Xxx

Hi Dea <3 <3

Physio went really well

...... she spent most of her time massaging the incision area, and also taught OH how to do it, as there are a couple of areas where it is diffiuclt for me to do it.

I go again on Saturday, then twice next week and twice the week after!

Ohh - that sounds a bit 'sore' Sylvia!

What purpose does all that massaging serve? - Is it to do with blood circulation?

Dea x

No, it's to help make movement easier


The incision is very long ................. it basically runs from my breastbone right underneath my arm to the back, and the layers of flesh sort of stick together and won't move when they've been subject to "trauma"

so the massage helps the layers to "unstick" and then move over each other, just as they would do normally.


If I didn't do the wall climbing exercises, and we didn't get the muscles moving freely against each other, then I would end up unable to raise or stretch my arm out. I wouldn't be able to put on sweaters, etc.


I was lucky in 1994 ........ they didn't have this kind of physio service, so all I could do was wall climbing, but I also did some massaging by myself, not knowing I was doing the right thing. I'm also now 16 years older!


I also do seem to heal quite well, and quickly.

That makes sense Sylvia - It's amazing how much more they seem to know nowadays isn't it ??

Keep up the good work :-D

Back later ~~~~~~~

Tapping into "Fred's" extensive brainpower

Who can request service records from WWI

What information would one get from the records

The reason I ask is that I am contemplating getting service records for great uncle who died, i assume, in the Battle of Langemark, Aug 16, 1917. Would there be information as to when he signed up, when he was sent overseas and what his deployment was.

Thank you
