Power Cut

And I was just sitting here about to turn my PC off and go to bed when it all went dark, the power had all gone off. After about 30 seconds it came back on, lights lit up etc

Telly

And I have got sucked into watching an upsetting telly program tonight. Very strange, I have been watching it for nearly an hour now

Doom and Gloom

Is this such bad news as it looks when I first glimpse it?

I need a week off

So today we nipped to the splinters and got a radical new splint, yesterday it was radical this, day before it was radical the other
I just want/need a week off getting better so quickly so I can think about what's going on and come to terms with it all

Rapid

Then we got back here I had 20 minutes to eat my lunch then I went to try out my new splint in the gym. We were 2 minutes early which was well lucky after travelling over a hundred miles both directions, having my splint fitted and a quick lunch.
So well done Ed the driver

New Splint

And we have just been at splint makers in Cardiff and now I have a premade much lighter splint which only supports my foot sideqays, not up and down. It feels much better and I can now tap my toes while wearing splint!! I AM getting so much better

Splinters

And we are going to Dacey's in Cardiff s'morning to get my pair of new splints
No, change of plan
So Sara the physio met us there, was talking to the splinter chap about how much my ankle is better, then rather than the 2 splints that were planned I got a new type of splint that doesn't restrict my foot moving up and down(1) but does restrict movement sideways. It feels really comfortable, is much smaller and lighter and it cost £34.00 instead of £150.00 which was penciled in for the big thing
(1) I have got my splint on and can tap my toes on that foot
And it is the first stage of getting rid of my splints permanently. OK, only a first stage but it has gotta start somewhere
