Clock

So I was in my room today with the MOS who was changing my alarm mobile etc. He said "Which plug is your mobile?" I pointed" he removed it but instead it was my new alarm clock that went black in the screen. We said "Whoops/No Neil" etc then plugged it back in, and because it had a battery as well as plug the time came on correctly, no need to reset it again

Tai Chi

And I thought "Oh no, Tai Chi but I am exhausted after such a busy day" but I need to learn to do more than one thing in a day. It feels good to have decided that, so heress hoping for tonight now

Excellent, it went well, I feel good again now

Out And About

Well. Gosh. (Bang, bang, chop, chop) Busy (Busy, Work, Work)

So today I had 5 hours with my new Support Worker, Ed. Gosh, what a day we had. Firstly we went to that Tesco's place where I bought a New Phone as my old one was getting wonky. And my new phone was really cheap as I just want a simple phone, not camera, internet etc. He sent me 2 txts afterwards and I was able to delete them both at once, which my old phone had not being doing for a while. While we were there we purchased some Guinness as it is St Patrick's Day today. Afterwards we came back here, got my new phone charged and working with my existing SIM card (so the same number), I had some lunch, then we headed off to look for furniture. Three flipping places we looked to no avail. We went to a Charity Shop to give them my old phone. And if I had had to get a Taxi for every journey I would have spent 20 or 30 quid just on those today

So gosh yes, we had a good day, no time to look for cars but we will probably do that on Monday after shopping. Oh ObAnd he cleaned my kitchen floor which I tried to do t'other night but then every time I went back in the kitchen my wheel's were making a mess, but today we went out, so the floor was dry by the time I got back

ObAnd(2) and I scanned and emailed the first of his monthly "pay me" sheets, he took a copy to post too, it needs to be done on this date every month, so he had a small claim this month

Txt

So last night I txted Ed, who is taking me out today, I said 'See u in the morning.... erm... employee', he txted me back 'At 10AM boss' so...... now we both know where the other stands

Saving JPGs

And it occurred to me today when I go to save a JPG, it says SAVE, below that SAVE AS then bottom SAVE FOR WEB which if you click it, I discovered today, you can adjust various stuff to make the picture file smaller, sometimes 80% lower, but the picture the same size IYSWIM

It's Sh*t

See being this poorly...... (swear swear swear)

Men On The Moon

So I was outside this evening and I noticed a beautiful moon. For some reason I thought "Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin" which it turns out was correct. Very strange and not really relevant but more proof that my memory is getting better

Mañana

Then tomorrow I am meeting the first of MY EMPLOYEES, he's coming here at 10AM and afterwards we are going into Carmarthen shopping etc. It might not sound that exciting but it's the first of my staff who will be making me very busy for the next X weeks

CBS

Well Denyse came in s'morning and listened to me waffling about how excited I was about tomorrow then Nic Cosmos came in from CBS. He looked at my flat now, measured it and door widths etc, and we talked about the place I will wanna buy, what I want/need etc. He seemed quite pleasant but I feel a bit 'done and dusted' now.

Up And At 'Em

So I set my alarm last night as I need to be up in time today. Woke up s'morning, got up then 3/4 of an hour later my alarm clock beeped

Noisy

Shout shout shout

Today I want to attract folks attention and just shout "Look"

Isn't She Beautiful

That Freya came around today and was a bit stroppy but she did apologise soon after.

Later Later Aligator

And that Denyse lass is coming to discuss 'stuff' with me after lunch and we agreed late last night if she can bring 2 new support workers with her so they can see where I live and we can all eat lunch together. She has already warned them that this is a meat free house

Good lord, aargh etc etc. That was strange as she was talking about ways the new staff can help me get a life!!

Double good lord, she brought a new diary for me so that I can transfer dates from my online diary and if people need to come with me they can etc.

I am beginning to get a life again, I haven't had one of those for nearly 8 years but it is starting today

ETB, ETR, MAMHW&W

So last night I, being a rebel, stayed up 'til after 2. This morning I still woke up at 10 to 8

Going Out Tonight

And tonight it is another monthly Headway meeting so at 6.30 tonight I have to go a few doors down and ask for a lift

And WOW wasn't it about me tonight. A professor was talking about loads of research they are doing, mainly into damage of one part of the brain and rather embarrassingly most of my problems seem to be associated with damage there

(quote from an email I wrote tonight)And one of the things the prof was talking about tonight was how folk with a Brain Injury often shout and loose their temper for little or no reason (/qfaeIwt)

Morrisons Supermarket

Well I am off to the shop in a bit, extra long list today, lets see if they sell THOSE too

No, they don't sell 'em but I looked and bought one online after I came back. Everything else off my list I bought except hummus, I forgot half way around the shop. Hopefully someone from here is shopping in the next few days and they can get it for me

Bright and Early

When I went to bed last night I thought "Should I set me alarm clock as my taxi is booked for 10.30 in't morning and I need to be up, dressed, had breakfast by then" . Luckily I didn't, I was still up before 8 o'clock

Banking

And I went to log on to my bank to check my balance, entered my password and memorable information, it said "Wrong". So I checked, tried again still says "Incorrect". I will try it again in't morning and if it still won't work I will have to contact them

Phew, it worked again s'morning, must have ben a temporary problem

Drying

And I did a load of washing this morning, when it came out I thought "Tumble dryer - no, electricity bill and global warming". I wont hang stuff outside, it's too much like hard work so I hung them on a clothes horst in the kitchen, next to a radiator

Old Habits Die Hard

Well this evening I finished the first long, new to me, book that I have read in nearly 8 years. I really enjoyed the story and getting back into reading too. The only problem I have is I can't read in bed as I put my splint on one hand which means I can't hold the book or turn over pages with my right arm. BUT blinking flip, the first book I have read in nearly 8 years. Wedi Gorffen

It occurs to me as I typed this 'read first then put splint on later' so I will have to try that with my new book tonight

And it worked!!! OK, I was too tired to read for more than about 20 minutes but it worked! Then afterwards I was able to put my splint on without having to sit up or anything, so HAPPY CHAPPY

After Shower

ObAnd I did the drying the toes on my right foot with a towel thing afterwards which I am still disproportionally (for most "normal" people) proud of

Shower

So today I did summat that was, by my personal standards, radical. Today I had a shower. I didn't wait 'til tonight, as usual. I didn't shower this morning, my normal second choice. No today I had a shower THIS AFTERNOON. That might seem normal to some of you but not to me at all.

Mine Eyes Have Seen (or not) The Glory Of The Coming...

Oh dear. Last night when I was eating I glanced down at my plate. Just one chip left so I ate my pizza instead. Then I turned my head around slightly and glanced at my plate again. Good lord, there are two chips sitting there, but one is on the RHS in that bit of my vision that doesn't work so well. Yes, that's why I don't have my driving licence, that might have been a pedestrian that I didn't see

Le Pissoir

So today I had a piss before I went out with Denyse. Then we did loadsas stuff, including meeting with someone else, talking afterwards etc, then we came back here and talked some more. Then she left and I still didn't need a pee

Appointments

Today I had to change my online appointments diary as they were suddenly insisting I paid for it. Dim diolch. So I had to type loadsa stuff into Google Calender, wait and see if it is good

Double Good lord, that diary decided to lose all my entries so I am trying another ATbM

(Sigh)Another one now(/S)

Denyse

And later today she is coming here for a chat for a couple of hours then we are going off and interviewing someone for a job, looking after me

And what a day we had

Yes, we interviewed my new support worker, excellent, good stuff. He appears to care and be a smidge non conformist so he starts work on 17th March.... And we talked about loadsa stuff, she insists I will have a life so....

Very Strange

And when I went outside s'morning I couldn't focus my eyes for about the first 10 minutes, it was very strange and helped me realise how ill I have been and how they have tried to fix loads

Tai Chi

And after someone has hoovered my flat, I have eaten dinner, done the washing up etc we, me and a MOS are going to Tai Chi for an hour. Because said MOS doesn't have extremely expensive insurance on his car I can't go in that, so I have already booked a taxi

He's hoovered, I have eaten, I have done the washing up... just waiting now

And went and did Tai Chi, it went better this week than last, so....

Well

Got up early~ish s'morning, I have nothing on all day

Lunch With A Beautiful Chick

Then I got a Taxi to Café No. 4 on Queen St. Well, it is a small establishment but WOW with good food and drink. She was working in the kitchen alone while 1 MOS waited on the tables and my lunch was flippin' delicious. At a guess we shall eat there againnext week

My Memory

And I saw a car that said Gravells on the number plate and my memory came flooding back, was that Gravells Of Kidwelly I thought? Yes, it was
(T) (mouseover)

My Right Hand/Wrist

Last night I had a shower and changed my clothes. With my shirt I rolled both cuffs up once before putting it on. After I put it on the left sleeve had come back down. So last night I tried twice (with a pause between) to roll it up with my right hand. To no avail. So s'morning I tried once more, still couldn't. So I went outside and said "Erm..." to a MOS but she was on the way to see someone else and couldn't stop to help. So I was outside looking at it, I tried again once more and this time I managed to do it, obviously summat is getting better with my right hand, it's the first time I have managed a task like that in nearly 8 years

Mañana

So tomorrow I will go for lunch with that Ruth. I had thought, before she contacted me that I would say no tomorrow as my head is really in bits, full of sh*t ATM but then I thought "No, I need to see someone who knows me and talk to them" so yes I will see her tomorrow

It's marginally scary in case I just fill her with woe bit I need to see her

Visitor

Then that beautiful girl that I see once a week came to see me. She played on the PC while I was cooking, ate it said it was nice, then made some Pancakes as it was pancake Tuesday and I had supplies. Gosh it was delicious

OT

Then later Sarah the OT came to see me, listened to my (big) woes, talked about me getting better etc then went off. She asked me if Easy Falafel was as nice as the one we made, I said only 2/3 but as that one was twice as nice as anything I had ever tasted it was OK by me

Census

This morning the post man delivered a huge number of pages for the census. Which I binned, because the only thing I required was my number to get in and do it online, which only took about 20 minutes

Healthy, Wealthy, Wise(EST)

Aah, went to bed lateR as I was trying to sleep in s'morning, but still woke up before 8 o'clock

Splinting

So I looked at my splint over my right foot and thought I's better replace it. I got out my new splint, looked at it, thought "Erm..." and called a MOS to help. She came, said "You don't need to attach the bottom" looked again and took my boot lace out to fit the splint. Then she had to do it again as she had done it wrong but now it seems to work. Dunno if I will be able to do it up in the morning as it is tighter, lets wait and see

Shop

And eventually I went to the shop and bought everything that was on my list and some more.

Leg

But for some reason my left knee hurts loads s'morning. It's not where I have had pains before so a bit puzzled

Healthy, Wealthy, Wise(ER)

So I went to bed about midnight last night and I still woke up at about 5 s'morning. Lie in, ha

So I got up about 5.30 and emptied the tumble drier, went back to bed and still lay there awake 'til I eventually got up

Drying My Feet

So tonight I had a shower, got dried and when I was nearly dry instead of reaching for my "dry your foot" device I looked at my right foot, tried to move it one way to no avail, moved it another way, grabbed it with my right hand and then used my left hand to dry between my toes. The first time in 7 5/6 years that I have managed

Healthy, Wealthy, Wise

So I didn't go to bed 'til about 1.30 this morning and I still woke up at 7.30. Lie in, ha

And having got up so early I had a pooh and a shave before breakfast

Better

And today for the first time in nearly eight years I was able to hold my zip with my right hand and pull it up with my left

Lunchtime

So today, unlike yesterday, I think I will just have my sandwiches at lunchtime, for me that seems more sensible

Her Cars Back

I opened my front door s'morning and saw a car sitting outside. The number plate spelt Kick (or Kiss) Fu*king Virgins so I thought it might be Jackie's car again, and yes it was. She has been driving to work for about 3 weeks in a borrowed van but at last it's fixed

Lunch

So s'morning someone had said "We are going out for lunch, wanna come?" I said "No, dentist just before that" but when I got back to where I live I thought "Yes, my teeth feel fine, wanna go out after all" told someone and they said "Yes OK, 10 mins" so they took me and 3 other more ill people than me out to Hamilton's Restaurant and it was very nice. A bit heavy on the meat but I did find some veggie food.

Brave

And I was brave enough to mop the kitchen floor this morning. I had thought that I would be able to mop it but I might need some help drying it so I could go back in t'kitchen but it occurred to me, "No Neil, you are going out in an hour" so I did it myself and now there is bugger all wetness on't floor any~flippin'~way

Dentist

And at 10.30 s'morning a Taxi is booked to take me to the dentist, again, and as well as my obvious wonky teeth I will ask why it hurts on my tooth on the bottom LHS when I rub over that with a brush

And I did it, it was actually OKish, she just did a filling for me today, not so bad

Early Once More

I woke up at about 6 this morning, lay there sulking, don't think I went back to sleep, got up at 7 in the end

Tai Chi

And I went to Tai Chi in a taxi s'evening, met Jackie there. Dunno if it was harder than usual or I was more tired than usual after pushing myself back from the place I voted or what

Splint

So this morning I thought "Oh my new splint is much too hard to use, where did I put the old one?", found it, put it on. Yes, it is much easier to get on but my ankle feels naked with it on, the more difficult one was obviously doing a much better job too, so I guess I'd better go back to using it

Link To Mid Page

So after reading a webpage I now know how to make a link go to the middle of one of my pages. A demonstration is on www.hippyweb.me.uk/Getting.htm and it sez 'Anchors' as the link to be clicked

Assembly

And today I am entitled to vote on a referendum about the Welsh government

And I did, it felt good being a citizen once more

But I am flippin' exhausted, the MOS that I had accompanying me was also pushing another, not able to use his feet, voter so I only asked for help when I was stuck, so she only pushed me about 2m on the way back, up the slight but long hill

Early

So s'morning I woke up and got up about a quarter to eight

(sigh)

In A Bit

Late last night someone txted me so because of that I am going out for lunch with that Ruth, going to somewhere I have never been before but Ruth ate their last week. Where is Queen St, I know where King St is, I assume Queen St is near that. "The Café At Number 4" we are going today.

Apparently it is the end of King St where it goes around the corner. Must be 25 yds long that flippin' street

And I had just hung up my phone after ordering a taxi when Ruth phoned me and said "Change of plan", I started to panic but she said "Just change where we meet to Jackson's Lane again because....." so I thought "Phew" and carried on. And we had an even deliciouser lunch than last time too

Because of that I just had a veggie burger with the left over Hummus and Tahini Sos for tea, no need for any more

Well Timed

So I was in the loo this morning for about 10 minutes. Squeeze squeeze. I finally finished my pooh, reached for the loo roll, 4 pieces later I was clean, thought phew, reached down, pulled my trousers up and then there was a knock at the door. It was the postman with a parcel that wouldn't fit thru my letter box

Wow

Just now there was a MOS in my room chatting. First of all I shouted at him "Look, it's just me expressing myself - ignore me" and spoke after that "Tell all staff, 'Neil shouts occasionally, just ignore it, don't be upset'"
Then we were talking about the chap in No 1 who had to wear a padded helmet as he is severely epileptic. According to the MOS he was in a wheelchair until he was 14 years of age!!! There is hope for us determined f**kers

Right OT

Well, WOW what nice Falafel Burgers we were able to have for tea in the end. First I ground chick peas, then.... then Freya had to help putting them in Pitta Bread with loadsa extra things, then we are them together and we both rather enjoyed them

And I am told that they sell ready-to-eat Falafel at Morrisons, I will have a look next Monday

O(ff) T(opic)

Then Sarah the OT came to see me. And WOW, what can I say. Well basically we made some Falafel Burgers for tea, gosh it was a right performance but we managed. So I had to open a tin of Chick Peas, put them into my new Food Processor, ground them, added spices etc, loads of other ingredients and fried them. Then we mixed up hummus and tahini and some different spices for a dressing, put away some lettuce and Pitta Bread to wrap them up in for Tea tonight with Freya. I couldn't do all of it but I managed most of it alone, and Sarah was talking about how asking for help can be helpful sometimes, yes my independence is the only reason I have come so far, as she realised, but help makes the final part of getting better more likely

Up and At 'Em

So I woke up "much too early" s'morning, lay there trying to go back to sleep and failing that for half an hour then gave up and got up. Oh great, it's five to flippin' seven....

Hapus Dydd Gŵyl Dewi

By accident I realised that tomorrow is a holiday in Wales, St David's Day

Just One

And blinkin' flip, but hooray. It has been doing my head in for ages that I recieved 1 copy of most mail that I send but 2 copies of every mail I send to Ixion. So tonight I had another bit of trying to rearrange and I didn't say "No mail" but a few down it sez "Receive your own posts to the list" which today I realised means an extra posting to me, so I changed it to NO and now I just get every post once.

Sloe Gin

Well.... I have ordered delivery of a bottle of Sloe Gin which I am expecting tomorrow. So in the shops today I bought a bottle of Tonic water to go with it. Fairy nuff. Now tonight a MOS came round and said "Ralph next door said you would want this" and handed me a bottle of home-made Sloe Gin that they made last summer

And on reflection it is delicious straight.

No Neil, calm down....

Ta, Well Taught

So I got my shopping from this morning out and set it on the table. There was a new jar of Pickles which was too tight to open. So I got out my opening jars device but the lid of the pickle was too big to go in. I thought "Oh" and was just about to shout for help when I recalled whay a MOS had shown my t'other week. So I got a knife out, kind of half pushed it under the sealed lid then took it out and tried again. Wow, what a difference, I could now open it easily

Morrisons

(Sigh) Did my shopping s'morning...... now awaiting Sarah the OT to come and cook with me tomorrow

Washed My Back

And I have just had a shower and washed my back with that new device, better than last time and then dried off my toes with a different bit of it.
VERY VERY HAPPY CHAPPY

My Neck

And a MOS was just in my room for a bit, as she was leaving she said "Lemme look at your neck". So as I can't see it I was nervous, hoped the Calendula Creme will have worked, she looked and said "Wow, it's completely better"

Eugh

And I got up s'morning, had to go back to sitting on my bed to tighten my splint, then I was glancing at The Observer before I had my breakfast and then went "Eugh" rather loudly

Sloe Gin

I was just having a look on Amazon and unexpectedly I found some Sloe Gin. So waiting now..... And it's Organic too.

VBG

Books

So I had been reading more short stories, as I couldn't cope with my 3 volume SF tale, but a few days ago another book arrived, one which had been recommended by IXION, a tale of the RAF flying miles to make the Falklands stay British and I am enjoying it a great deal, I think it is now "my current book"

Biggest, longest, walk in nearly 8 years

Now up 'til today the furthest that I had walked had been 2 up and down our street. Today I walked 3 times full length there and back

I am still a bit proud...

Fixed it

So on my webpage I had 2 photos next to each other, so when you scrolled down it looked like there was just one pic for ages. Then after much humming and hawing I was just about to buzz for help and say I don't suppose there is a web designer on the premises today, but in the last few minutes before I did that I discovered what I needed to do to move the picture upwards and it looks a bit more sensible now

So 'vspace="xxx"' was the new command that I have learnt about today

Excited

So I am gonna have a shower tonight and this time I am gonna try out my back washer, try and scrub myself with the big brush

And big WOW, it f**king works, it is the first time my shoulders have been washed since I stopped needing help to wash.I can wash the top half of my back with "it" and reach the rest of my back freehand.

VBG

DVLA

So even tho the DVLA have said that I can't drive for now I did an official DVLA practice theory test. I did it in about 1/3 of the time allocated and score 100%. Obviously some part of my brain still works

But I failed the second test, only 41 out of 50

Woe is me (again)

And I began to realise how fu*ked my eyes must be

But I started another game, with twisting my head/neck around from the first go and it worked this time

I WON

Stories

So I am bored trying to read the (new) long story that I have so I started reading another book of short stories. The first story impressed me so much that I had to scan it and make it available for all you lot to read

My Memory

Well, my medium term memory seems to be getting better. Every time I open the bank I have to type in the password and then a few letters from the remembered fact. Usually I had to look up the password on my "secret" file but I could remember the more obvious to me remembered fact. But it seems that the last 2 or 3 times I did it I remembered the password too

Woe is me

I got a letter from the DVLA s'morning telling me I can't see well enough to drive, ATbleedin'M

Busy

So in about an hour the first Taxi is coming to take me to Priory Day Hospital to take back my new too small splint and change it for one that actually fits me.

WOW, I have the new splint now and it feels so much "Pulling my ankle tightly" than the old one did

After that I am going to Caffi Iechyd Da for the Folk Night and dinner etc. I thought I was getting a lift but her car is broken ATM so I will have to pay for my accompaniers taxi too

But WOW wasn't it excellent tonight, I am a bit too drunk to type more but just WOW

I am relatively pleased that someone is accompanying me, I thought I was gonna have to go on my own but "they" have asked someone to work a very strange work pattern today so they can accompany me

(Sigh)

I didn't go to bed until 2 AM last night and I still woke up and got up at a quarter to nine s'morning
(/S)

S'pose that was a lie in, I didn't wake up at a quarter to eight

Washing and Drying

Well I had a shower today and as usual was struggling to wash my back. Afterwards I got dried, used my toe drier which was easier today but then I noticed ¾ of the way twixt my handle and the 'drying' sponge was another 'cleaning' bit. If I had noticed earlier I would have had to take off the 'drying sponge' temporarily then washed my back with the other brushy bit.

Och well, next time, but it did prove easier

Baldy

Someone cut my hair for me today but they insisted that I have a shave too

(Mouseable now)

Disabled Loo's

So this morning the posty brought me a) A change of my dental appointment, this one is sooner!!, and b) My key for disabled toilets around the country and a book telling me where they are

So

So I got up s'morning, put back on the socks I had only been wearing for a couple of hours last night, then breakfasted, then phoned the Taxi company and booked 2 for tomorrow. (sigh) tomorrow after lunch I need to take my new splint back and have the size readjusted then in the evening I am going to the Folk Club in Carmarthen.
Then I will brush my teeth for s'morning

Change~Of~Plan

"Someone" told me that Jackie is working tomorrow after all and she has permission to take me to the Folk Club in her car, so I phoned back and cancelled one taxi

(Grin)

Wow

And tonight, for the first time, I tried out my new "toe drier" And WOW it works. Tonight I had my shower, got dried, got dressed and was able to put boots on straight away, like I haven't been able to do for some years

Busy 3

After all that I had to try again putting a link from part of a picture and I managed it on Sarah. So you can now magnify part of the picture and see what it is

Busy 2

Then the lovely Sarah the OT came to see me. I still can't decide whether OT stands for Off Topic or Occupational Therapist. Anyway she assessed my memory and I was actually surprised at how well I did etc. Next week she is gonna get some extra ingredients for me and watch me cook Falafel for me and Freya next Tuesday afternoon

Busy 1

Well much earlier today, much earlier than usual but she is on a half term week, that beautiful Freya chick came over to see me. After some txt issues 'cos she was waiting for a bus that didn't come etc. Eventually she got here and paid me some attention and my technology some attention. But what can we say to each other, I am glad to see her getting bigger and she is pleased to see me getting better

"It's light better get up"

So I woke up, thought "It's light better get up" got up, got dressed &c, finally managed to look at my watch and it was only 7.30AM. This post-solstice light is still doing my head in a bit

Headway

And we went out to Headway for a monthly meeting but they had no guest speaker tonight so it was sort out lots of arrangements &c

Parcel

The postman came before I got up s'morning and delivered 2 letters. Later a MOS came up with 3 parcels that he had left in number 7. Dunno why, perhaps he realised my lights were still off. Anyway 1 parcel was my new wash AND DRY your toes device so hopefully I can dry my toes on my right foot now. 2 other parcels were new speakers and wire for my PC. Good lord, I hadn't realized how sh*t the sound had become but now I can listen to it happily.

Because a MOS fitted them for me, I couldn't

Walkies, HUGE

Well, in the past the furthest I have walked was once up and down the street without stopping, today I did it twice, from one end to the other and back and back and back again, the furthest I have walked in nearly 8 years.

(PROUD)

Shopping

Well I went shopping by taxi s'morning as I need to pay more on transport, got everything I need and some, then phoned a taxi, she said "It will be 20 minutes" I said "I'll wait". 2 more phone calls and it was in the end 47 minutes after I phoned my taxi that it finally arrived

Spelling Mistake

Just now I was reading my BLOG and I noticed a spelling mistake that I had made. BUT unusually this spelling mistake made another proper word, like mUst instead of mOst, so the flashing red light "You've made a mistake" thing wasn't flashing so I hadn't noticed it

Sh*t

Oh dear, my head is in bits. On one level everyone is telling me how well I am doing &c but on the other hand I feel trapped, unable to drive, walk very far &c.

Lunchtime

And we were taken out as a treat today. Mmmm it was nice.
And we went most of the way to Whitland to get there, I used to drive there to work, pick up a van then drive to Carmarthen on my way out

And in some respects it made me think.... by most peoples standards I am very unhealthy but compared to the other 3 residents who were out with us I am very well...

Apart from everything else I was the only person sitting on a proper chair the other 3 'clients' who were there in their wheel-chairs

Out To Play

And I went out to the pub last night....

Scar

Well my new Calendula creme seems to be making my neck better. But today I was putting some on with my hand, thought "What's that under-finger?" had to ask a MOS as I can't see, but he agreed with me, I have got a big scar on my shoulder. Which wasn't there before my crash.

Short Term Memory Gain

So s'morning I thought "Oh, add some sweets to my shopping list. Oh, what did you call those sweets I last bought 3 weeks ago?...... erm...... Ah, they were Morrisons own Chocolate Coated Raisins". So my memory is a bit f*cked but I can remember some newer stuff
