RETURNING TO NORMAL SOCIETY
RETURNING TO NORMAL SOCIETY
From the Borgarspitali's checkout-report:
WALKING and TREATMENT: Here the pat. gets physio- and performance therapy, gets movement-and strengthening-exercises and in addition to this he gets balancing-exercises, because of obvious ataxia.
The pat. gained much strenght and was able to walk without a cain the last month of his treatment, but walked with feet very wide apart.
The strength both in the upper and lower extremit. was progressive and general health either mental or physical was getting better.
For a while it seemed that the pat. had little realization of his own condition, and therefore we asked Jon Bjornsson a psychiatrist to have a talk with the pat., but haven't received his opinion, before the pat. gets checked out.
The pat. hasn't needed any drugs.
The urine's been clean.
He has been going for weekends to his home in Keflavik without any difficulties coming up, and therefore he will be allowed to leave the hospital today for good, without having a need for any aid, such as drugs and will he keep on doing his strenghtening-practises at his home.
