My first Hedla stay at the neurohabilitation center
Rehabilitation Diary – My Time in Almuñécar I’m now in the first of three weeks at the rehabilitation center. It’s been a great week – the staff here are incredibly kind and professional. On the very first day, I met with a physiotherapist, a doctor, and a speech therapist. The physiotherapist tested my physical abilities for about 45–60 minutes, followed by a medical consultation, and finally, the speech therapist evaluated my language and speech. There are six of us patients and around 5–6 staff members. All of us except one have brain injuries – the exception being someone with a spinal injury. I still have some difficulties with speech, which is why I work daily with a speech therapist. I've had up to five speech therapy sessions per day, and two physiotherapy sessions. By the evening, I’m completely exhausted. Last weekend, Ole and I took the bus to Almuñécar. At one point we split up – Ingrid and I were curious about the town’s history, while Ole wanted to enjoy some birdwatching and relax at a café.
