Message Seventy One

Elizabeth would like her left ankle to flex.  She feels that 'sensation' is moving down her leg and is about 6 centimeters away from her ankle, so it's on its way.  She would also like to know that her voice can be restored.  It is coming and she suggested that a little ditty she composed is put on the blog so that you can get an idea of how she is doing.

Yesterday Margaret was able to see Liz walk with the frame across the gym, and out into the corridor, turn right, and down to the nurses station.

Yesterday Anna and Joe came from Sheffield.  They all went out to the canteen and Liz had her hospital sandwiches.  Later Dave M was able to see the massive progress Liz has made having seen her in Sheffield.  Elaine saw her for the first time.  They stopped in Leicester en-route to the big rugby game at Twickenham.

Today we provided dhokra and Indian curries from 'Bobby's on the Melton Road to celebrate the reunion with Elizabeth's Mizoram team who visited for the day.  They turned up at the ward dressed as an apple and a banana.  The Nurse said, "oh yes, visiting Liz.  Second bay on the left."

A picture of Dhokla?  Well M from the opposite bed is brought it by her family and we are all very jealous.  Our friend Manju also cooks perfect Dhokla, is it's a real hit.
