Tomorrow is the Big Day. It will be 6 weeks since Iain's accident where he fell from the ceiling and injured himself. (See previous posts.) The bones that were cracked will now have healed and therefore he is now - and only now - allowed to get up. The idea is that the vertebrae will be stabilized and he therefore should not run the risk of spinal damage.
So it is time to get his feet over the edge of the bed! Hopefully he won't be too light-headed to stand and then walk with the aid of a support. He has been faithfully doing his exercises while on bed rest so I think he will be fine, i.e. the muscles will not have atrophied too much.
Meanwhile I will go out and smell the flowers (the above were in the walled garden at Ross Priory this week) and I will definitely have to cut the grass! Given that Iain finds ambulation fairly straightforward, I expect he will be home by the weekend.
