Progress made with parents! Relieved the edema in mum's feet; she was all giggly this morning because her toes look like toes again rather than the sausages that she's been putting up with all this time. She did a full lap around Pak'n'save, after weeks of barely being able to walk up and down the hallway. The GP came by to check on her today and was utterly confused by how well she's feeling. He was expecting her to be immobile. These are still the end days, but right now they are good end days. Also relieved the sciatica in dad's back; he was literally dumbfounded by the sudden absence of pain – he'd forgotten what it felt like after all these decades. Just stood there with the oddest smile. To think that all those physiotherapists, pain specialists and the ACC runaround did not do this at all. He long ago gave up on it and just spends half-days lying on the floor when it hurts. Much of this week's outcomes are because of two physiotherapists who treated me when my spine and my son's spine were misaligned over the past couple of years, and taught me enough of their knowledge to combine with qigong and Chinese medical soup treatments that I'd learnt elsewhere. Somehow we need to get this knowledge out to where it's needed.
