Barefoot Walkies

So tonight I couldn't get to sleep so I got back up and walked back here. It feels really strange walking without my splint on

Dieting

And so even tho I had some oven chips (which aren't that fattening) for dinner I only had one Linda McCartney sausage, as I am on a diet

Better All The Time

Just now I was sat in a proper chair about to stand up. I started to lean forward to grip the table then I thought "No need", simply stretched and stood up with no arm involvement. It was the first time in how long?

More Getting Better

And when I am walking ATM I have to concentrate less on keeping my right hand down, it finally seems to be getting the message

Columbia

Summat had a mention of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003. I had forgotten but good lord, I have looked and bad luck.

Moishe

And I met Moishe Bagel at the Folk Club last night who was a friend of mine 10 years ago or so. Amongst the rest of our conversation she said that it f*cked up Julia's head badly when I had my accident, she wasn't really looking after the kids (my kids too!!) for a number of years afterwards etc. Because she did love me very much. Which I found upsetting but reassuring too, it was the first time I have been reassured that Julia did love me. So yes it is upsetting but it makes Julia's decision to get a life of her own a bit more understandable.

At least I know that I wasn't fooling myself tho.....

Walkies

So I woke up s'morning and walked from my bedroom to the kitchen..... and everything since. It's only 10.15AM now but I am still not in my wheelchair

At 11.05 I walk over to have my coffee

1.10PM now, still walking

3.30 now, still....

6PM now, still walking, prepared dinner, did the washing up etc from my feet. Still not sitting in my wheelchair

7.15 now, still walking

21.00 now, still walking, I suspect this is the latest in about 7½ years...

Off to bed now as I am so exhausted by walking, everywhere, all day, my 'chair is still sitting by my bed
