the dreaded `back` appointment

Louis was a star yesterday and came with me and Daniel to the scoliosis appointment.  I hate waiting for appointments and this one was no different.  10.15 appt time and we finally got seen at 12 noon.  Daniel was okay, surprisingly, laughing and chatting to the consultant.  He wants to put a rod in Daniel`s back and thinks that he has put enough weight on to make it possible!  We will see him again in December, as I really want Daniel standing and maybe even walking before the op, so I have until then to get him as mobile as possible and also eating!  Not so much of an uphill task as a blooming mountain to climb!!  We left the hospital and went to Aylsham Barns as the SCOPE people were meeting there.  Got there late, and stayed a while, but both Louis and Daniel (and me!) were pooped.  

Now really have to try to get myself into shape, as I am going to need all my strength to cope with the next few months.  Have been going to pilates, but need to get to the gym more, go swimming, do some classes and STOP drinking so much red wine (it sure will be hell!!)  Started as I mean to go on by having NONE last night!!
