ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the various other treatments in hospital: occupation therapy, speech and language therapy, psychology and neuropsychology. Once the author has managed to regain his mobility and be a little less morose about life, the intensity of his therapy increased dramatically. Scheduling all of these sessions into his ten waking hours proved to be a logistical challenge. He would also be competing against all the other hospital patients for resources. After he had learned to walk, his physiotherapy sessions changed. As these goals were slowly realised, the dark miasma around him began to recede. The next stage was to engage with the treadmill. In an attempt to address the former, living independently, the hospital staff would set him loose on the public at large by asking him to go here and do that and go there and fetch that, all the time under the watchful eye of one of the occupational therapists.
