Splintless Day

And it only occurred to me when I started getting ready for bed, my splint is still sitting on my bed side table where I set it last night. All day has been in wheelychair mode, no walking at all

Peeing

Reading my book about BI it did say that incontinence/partial continence is a usual outcome of BI. Reading that reminds me that my pissing is nearly "normal" once more, eventua-flipping-ly

Weighting

Then I was doing exercises with my weights. Good lord, a 2 kg weight I can lift and do various exercises with my left arm and not even lift it up 'til my arm is straight out with my right arm. It's not even a heavy weight

Pepper from my Trug

Then for dinner tonight we had pasta, a fried pepper that I had grown on my Trug and Lloyd Grossman's sauce which was delicious but it felt a bit like cheating as I opened a jar and heated it up, QED, no actual cooking

Dimmer Switch

And my dimmer bulbs arrived s'morning. But they wouldn't fit in the lamp by my bed. I thought we'd better go lamp shopping but Ed proved to be very useful and swapped that lamp for one in the other room and the new dimmers fitted, it was well cool.

THEN I got in a tiz trying to take a set of pics of the brighter bulbs. If my camera was set to auto every picture looked the same so I had to d/l a manual for my camera and read that. In the end I couldn't manage, but a shout of "Ed" brought a very clever chap running and together we were able to take a series of pics with a discernible difference visible between one and the next.

Then he had to give me some velcro bits to let me stick the brightness control by my bed
