Mender Curtains

So as I was getting ready for bed tonight I called Roy and told him what I have already told 2 other chaps to no avail and said "This right hand curtain is not attached to the wall, I can pull it the whole way across" so he pulled the chair over, looked, said "Look in the other room, compare" fiddled about for a bit and actually fixed it

Standing Doesn't Hurt

So as I stand up now it occurs to me that when I am pressing down on the armrests to stand up my right wrist hurts somewhat. So instead it just doesn't hurt at all.

I don't know if I am not getting better as it is a therapeutic press but........

Tommy Toes

And I went out to the greenhouse s'morning, watered it etc and had to pick 6 or 8 tomatoes. So they are waiting in the drawer in the bottom of the fridge now.....

Friday, 10 August 2018

Still Standing

And it occurs to me that I am doing it properly nowadays......

Cook Early

And I started cooking as soon as I finished my breakfast s'morning at about 8.15 or 8.20 or summat. Because it takes ages to cook yellow split peas etc and if I had gone to the 2 o'clock swim at gym there wouldn't have been enough time to have my nap then cook it afterwards etc. As it happens I didn't go to swimming but went to gym to go cycling so I switched off the pan of tinned tomato's and other veg then went to gym, when I came back I switched it on again and added yellow split and lentils and it is cooking away to itself.

In a bit I will switch it off again and have my bath/nap

No Swimming

So MM came into my room s'morning and said "As you missed the 10k cycle on Tuesday you can do it today if you want instead of swimming". I had to say "Isn't swimming therapeutic?" but he said "So is the long cycle. The choice is yours"

So I had to think for a bit, I don't wanna fscking do either but in the end decided cycling. So I had to pick up the towels that I had put in the hall with cream and the bag to put them in etc etc but we have a new plan. In a bit we will head gymwards, with a bottle of water etc

And "Oh what fun we had". After an hour I said "Right, home now" but MM got stroppy, sain "You only have 1.2km to go" *and* "But Denyse will be cross if you skive" so I pissing pedalled on

Thursday, 9 August 2018

Conference T'other Day

And when we had to take the car back to t'dealer t'other day I spent a few of our spare minutes asking chap whether when I replaced it in a couple of years I would be able to go electric. He talked loads about how they were a pioneer in the electric car field etc but he wouldn't say I would have one in a couple of years but he thought the technology is getting so much better quick;e he reconed in 5 or 8 years it would be a worthwhile option

Emergency/Panic/Crisis etc

Then when I was trying to take the chips out of the freezer to make our once a week treat the front of the freezer drawer came off in my hand and the drawer was stuck. GGtGG looked at it and said "Oodles of ice, needs a defrost". I said "But we won't be able to...." but I hardly use the freezer now. Every week some casserole is frozen and defrosted in a few days, I cook nearly all the food we eat here so we were able to fit the contents into my extra little freezer and the ice box of the staff fridge.

It is nearly finished defrosting a couple of hours later, we will switch it back on and then an hour later put the food back in

Busy Thursday Morning

So as usual on a Thursday first of all we headed to the veg shop in the market and bought loads of various veg. On the way into the market we came across a chilli sauce stall that was offering free tasted so I tasted and bought the medium strength version

*THEN* we popped into MoreReasonsToShopAt..... and did the rest of the shopping.

We brought that home and put it away then went to gym and got stuck into out Thursday ritual on the rowing machine and did 3.25km

Wednesday, 8 August 2018

Grab Rails #27

After Denyse was here t'other day and saw my new grab rails she made a few phone calls, tested the "under the lid" function and later phoned me to say she had phoned the folk who had done it and said she wasn't happy as I need symmetry on both sides as otherwise my learning to walk etc will be uneven or somesuch and they have agreed to come back and do it again in a couple of weeks

After Lunch

Then after lunch Roy ignored my protests and said "Gym class" so we went to Gaynor's class again which wasn't very busy but as good as can be expected

Then on the way back we popped to the post box to post a birfday card that had been addressed to Freya c/o me which arrived s'morning. I put stickers over the address and wrote the address with my right hand and it was legible and another stamp and off it went

What A Morning

So s'morning we popped into the Toyota garage for the service on the car. I had planned to stroll about town while that was happening but it was pouring so we sat there watching Toyota Telly which every few minutes said "We are sponsoring the paralympics" and showing film which upset me/made me impressed etc

But an hour and a half later they gave me the car back and at home I could replace the bag of "car park" money etc

And They're Off

So we are going out tonight to a Bowling Club meeting, where I won't be bowling but socialising

Lordy. Some of them are very good at this, some of them not so

Overheard

As I was walking past the kitchen door I heard some reference to this. Dunno what they were talking about, just the 3 seconds of conversation I overheard contained the name of this....

Long Way Round

And I went out to water the greenhouse but I forgot about shortcuts, I walked out the front door and around

Monday, 6 August 2018

Short Cut

I have just been out to the greenhouse to water it and it still seems odd, wrong in some way, being able to go out the back door after for so long I needed to go the long way round

Changing Colour

And one of the green peppers in the greenhouse has decided that is is actually a red pepper after all

Out The Back

I was just in the kitchen waiting for food to cook and I just went out the backdoor walked round for a bit then came back in through the backdoor

Because I can

Lifty Exercises

So we popped to gym and got stuck into "lifting and pulling things" exercises. On the lifting above your head that I do without any weight 1) I was able to lift both arms equally for the first time ever and 2) I was trying it with some weight, I managed to do 6 of the 20 scheduled lifts with 2.5kg. It's not very heavy but I didn't used to be even able to lift my arm up fully etc

Docs

Then we need to go back to the chemist next door to the Drs to fetch my script for sockings, the one that they gave me he note saying "Have none, come back" for on Friday

[Sigh] And they still didn't have any, she said "Come back later" but I thought "Nah, tomorrow" but there is a Team Meeting happening here tomorrow so hopefully they will have it by Wednesday

Crisis

And I was on my way to bed tonight, took my phone, tried to plug it in, tried again, called MM and sed "Help", took his advice to plug it in and bought a new cable.

Ho hum

So we ordered a new cable then later ordered a plug to plug it in with

Sunday, 5 August 2018

Clean

So a couple of days since my jab off the Dr and my chest and back seem remarkably free of spots/irritation. Lets hope it continues like this

Yum yum

And at lunchtime I cut up the first of the new tommy-toes. Apprehensively I bit into it. Fark, it was lovely, kind of sweet, just well nice

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Then s'afternoon I tried making coffee in the last cafetiere as the old one isn't broken but the coffee is full of bits. It wasn't in the new pot so I transferred to it instead and popped out to the obscure cheap cafetiere shop and fetched a couple of spares. Afterwards MM said "You can take it apart and clean it like this" which I did try. I couldn't undo it or do it up afterwards but it is done now, so I will try it instead of the new one later.

(Confuser=me)

No, s'evening the newly cleaned pot put together (OK done) by MM was still a bit full of bits. Loads less than yesterday but still some

Oops

I forgot to close my curtains when I went to bed (in the dark) last night.

The light woke me up about 6 o'fricking'clock s'morning

Saturday, 4 August 2018

Out

So last night I was thinking repeatedly "Lets go to the pub" but I managed to resist. Today MM said "Shall we go out...."

We popped to the pub in Carmarthen and it was actually rather busy. Like a pub used to be on a Wednesday at dinner time 20 years ago, the busiest I have seen a pub in ages

Sore Ass

And every now and again, when I roll over in bed or change my position in my chair my arse hurts loads where it was injected yesterday. Most of the time I can forget about it then every now and again I wanna shout

Standing Up

And I have just recalled to stand up properly from the bench outside or my chair. Get my feet in the right position and stand up without using my hands to push, just standing up with my legs, like a proper person

Cooked My Veg

And I cooked the weekly "loadsa casserole" today and in it there was carrots, courgette and green pepper from my garden, that I had grown myself 😅

FESless

And I don't have my FES on today but it seems to have worked getting the muscle memory into my right foot, it keeps itself level most of the time whereas it used to be about 30-40º to one side every step

Friday, 3 August 2018

Improvement

And walking into the swimming pool today without my FES on, my right foot stayed properly flat nearly all of the time. I suspect that the FES is supposed to be teaching me muscle memory, so lordy it works!!!!

Ripening

So next to my reddening tomato is one that yesterday looked much yellower but today it looks twice as red, ripe

Forgetful

And I was having so much fun in the pool s'afternoon that I had forgotten all about having a jab s'morning but sitting in the car on the way home it suddenly hurt loads briefly. Oh yes, I recalled, there doesn't seem to be owt I can do about the pain, it just hits me briefly every now and again

Drowning

And I went for a rescheduled swimming session today and it was as much fun as ever. BUT I am still getting better at it, I was able to do more of the exercises, better, than last week

Jabbed

So I went to the Drs and had my jab s'morning. She was very good, it didn't hurt at all to start. But she had to keep squeezing to get the enormous quantity of enormously thick gloop into my arse and it did hurt a bit in the end

So afterwards we took the scripts we had just got into the chemist next door and they gave me one and said "Come back on Monday for the other"

And I am well enuf that I can't make any excuses for swimming, I will have to go later

Thursday, 2 August 2018

Fun In't Morning

And tomorrow we are going to the Dr's early so I can pick up 2 'scripts and then see a Dr about the injection in my arse, testosterone.

Hoo-flippin'-ray

Thursday Dinner

Usually Timmy is working on Thursday so I have to cook for myself but it was MM today so we could have na'an bread pizza and chips for tea. Mmmmmm

Pant, pant, pant

So first thing s'morning me and MM headed off to the food market, where he has never been before. First of all we headed up the wrong street but I said "No, around the block" so then we came back to the place where us blue badge holders can park. It was full, so we drove past and turned around. As we came back one car had switched his headlights on so we waited for about 45 seconds and he emptied up the space. From there we walked in and got the veg. We are starting to form a relationship, it was the woman of the team working today and I said to her "When you said 'Lovely!' I thought you were talking about yourself" and as we were leaving she said "£14.06" and just charged me £14.00 on the machine

From there to MoreReasonToShopAt.... where I got owt on my list, including fly killer strips which we haven't needed to buy for a year or two

Then we went home and put the shopping away then headed for gym. As usual I have to do about half an hour cycling and it was pissing me off how my two arms react differently but half way thru the cycle (That Beautiful) Sam came past and stopped to react to my complaint. She said "When you started here that arm was as broken as a broken thing, you couldn't even put it on the bike to start with. It is getting better and better, it's just a matter of patience and keep up the good work you are doing and it will get better eventually". Which is really good to hear on one level but on another level it means "Keep working hard"

Wednesday, 1 August 2018

Stress Buying Online

Then me and GGtGG tried to buy some tickets to The Big Cwtch which is a festival type thing locally but you can buy "Disabled persons" tickets for less and you get an accompanier to come in for free but you have to prove you are disabled. We tried many times to but them with The Staff Card but it just wouldn't. No visible reason, just kept bouncing. So then we tried it with my card, no problem, and we have booked a disabled parking slot etc. And if it is raining we paid so little we can just not go

Shopping

Then after dinner we popped to town to buy a new clothes peg holder and some more anti fly strips. The clothes peg holder was easy but we went to 4 different shops looking for the fly killers. Most of them said "We usually do but there has been a run on them this week". So I have 1 more shop to try tomorrow then it is onto Amazon who are putting all these businesses out of business

Oh and we got more mixed seeds and nuts for the birds on the bird table, it seems quite popular these days

Different Plan

So as it is the summer holidays now today I am going to Gaynor's gym class instead of swimming and on Friday instead of gymming I am heading to the 2.30 swimming session which apparently they don't let kids in the pool then or summat

Refunded

Then we popped early to The Lyric Theatre as it closes early and my nap would get in the way. She said "Want a refund or new tickets for when they come back?". "Pardon, I thought they hadn't sold many tickets?". "No, it had nearly sold out, they were here setting up when the roof let in some rain and the drain flooded us with sewage, making the electrical equipment a bit scary"

"Lordy, yes, just give us 2 new tickets for that then"

So that will be why they didn't phone us to say "Cancelled" until a couple of hours beforehand

Tuesday, 31 July 2018

Then

Then after lunch we popped into town, drove along King St, no parking spaces, went around the block and second time passing there was a space outside the theatre where we were gonna go. We had to say "You said you would contact us on Monday about the refund from the gig last week?" but according to the notice on the door it will be closed 'til Wednesday. So either they phone me early or I pop in later in the day tomorrow.

So we walked around the corner and bought 2 jars of coffee for the staff off RoyGBiv's Staff Cash Card

Which did my head in slightly carrying it back to the car. As I was concentrating on walking my right hand, carrying the bag, rose into the air, strangely

Back To Normal

So 2 days worth of Freya visiting so I had no gym yesterday and so on. But she has gone now, it is all back to normal etc so I'd better get my head round a really long cycling exercise today

Hooray, I only have 9.1km left to cycle....

Just another 4.5 to go

Monday, 30 July 2018

Seconds

And I was lying in bed for my nap 2day and thought "I wonder how long it has been so far?" and glanced at my timer. It said 23 minutes and 23 seconds, 23:23 left to go

Another Day

So I got up s'morning and had breakfast. Freya is still asleep but in an hour if she's not up I will have to wake her and say "Meet your family"

Well she got up and we spent another 2 or 3 hours together before we went out and met Julia and her 2 littl'uns for lunch. It was nice, and her 10 yo brother felt the need to give me a "Hello" hug which was nice, obviously he feels that I am family. Then Freya said "Tara" and took herself off, going to Canada at the end of the month, spending the intervening time in England

Sunday, 29 July 2018

Wow

Robot Pouring Beer, but he doesn't pick up the lid!

(minimal, but some noise)

Visitor

So first of all Freya is coming here s'afternoon until tomorrow, staying the night, but when I txted her last night she suggested that we pop into town to meet them for lunch, possibly Freya, Sam&Emma, Julia&her new chap and possibly the 2 younguns so I can meet my youngest, oldst, their mother and generally show off how much better I am at socialising these days

Off in a bit, no I am not shitting myself at all. No

Wow. They was all really nice, s'morning and after my nap we cooked dinner then went off to the pub. It was all just pleasant. Freya has now gone to bed earlier than I managed. See her in the morning, when we are off to meet the whole team, including Freya's little bro and sister before we say goodbye

Saturday, 28 July 2018

Chilly

And I have got my jumper on over my t-shirt for the first time in over a fortnight tonight. It is that chilly

And I have just taken it off again about 11.30 at night. Not doing anything different, the temp may have changed a bit.

Crisis

And when I was in the bath s'afternoon someone phoned me and left a message. So I phoned 901 and got it. It was one of the folk who are supposed to be putting on the Pink Floyd Experience gig tonight apologising 'It's cancelled, we will get in touch on Monday to arrange a refund' with some feeble excuse but I think basically they hadn't sold enuf tickets and bottled it at the last minute

My Boy

Then after lunch Sam, my boy, and Emma, his beautiful wife of 2 months, popped over to see me for an hour. It was well worth it on so many levels, and they are off tonight to a Bro Myrddin school "we left 10 years ago" do. Then they are gonna catch up with Julia and Freya who came back from Mcr today and is off to Canada in a couple of days, after she comes here

Summertime

As it hasn't rained for a couple of weeks there has just been a flash of lightening, a clap of thunder and it is now raining very heavily

And more thunder....

Then the sun came out, 20 minutes later the rain had half evaporated, then it started raining again.......

Strange Day

So as I emailed them a couple of days ago and told them I couldn't go to the beach party and it is raining like fsck today I am not missing it. But the reason I am not going is coming to see me s'afternoon with his wife of 2 months and 1 day now which is exciting too

Then s'evening we are going to a Pink Floyd tribute band which will be a bit odd.

Then tomorrow Freya is coming to stay overnight as she is going to Canada for 2 months on Monday

Friday, 27 July 2018

Cooking

And this weekends cooking has gone all out of sync so I cooked this weeks portion s'morning, turned it off and went to the therapist then came back & switched it back on and added lentils etc. The spuds will be baked in half an hour, the lentils will be dun by then

Samless

Then today I can't go to Sam's class (Weeping) because I have to go to the Diabetic Eye Tester on the way to Carmarthen.

Gord nose how and why but there you are, every so often I have a check up I think

And my vision has been blurred ever since. It was about an hour ago and now is the first time I have been able to focus on my phone. It is still wonky but better

Fark. It stayed blurry for a couple of hours but I managed to finish cooking etc. So he said they will write to my Drs and to me in 6/8 weeks and tell him results. Dunno

Thursday, 26 July 2018

Thursday Ritual

So we have to do the Thursday morn ritual, go and buy loadsa veg, go and do my More Reasons To Shop At shopping, then we need to pop to the Drs and pick up another 'script then get on with a normal day.

Then tonight there is an Iechyd Da folk club which hopefully will be as much fun as usual

Well that's the morning business done. First of all to the Drs, then got loadsa veg then got f. all from Morrisons, but it's all done. And I said to GGtGG "Shall I cook na'an bread pizza for tea tonight or should we go out and eat out" but then I said "No, because....." if we ate out t'other day, and I am taking Freya out on Sunday I can't afford to eat out tonight so pizza it is

Lordy, GGtGG isn't usually working on a Thursday so he doesn't have pizza very often and he was very impressed with it

AND the folk fest turned out OK too. It was a usual quiet day as it's the summer but some good muso's played

Wednesday, 25 July 2018

Not Swimming

So despite confusion about whether or not the swimming club was happening today (as it is now school holidays) we have given up trying and I am going to the 2 o'clock gym session instead. Also because I am off on Friday to see some diabetes Dr at the same time as Sam's class so killing 19 birds with 3 stones or summat

Well, but odd. She was comparing me with when we first met, when I was stuck in a wheelchair, the time she first made me walk a few steps etc, comparing it to now.....

Tuesday, 24 July 2018

Fixed

And my computer in the bedroom which since I bought it has required a strange double switch on ritual, hold it in for 5 seconds then try again this time hold the on switch in for 4 seconds, for about 3 nights it has been just switching on. With no "holding switch" ritual, it just switches on properly when I press the button in

Back Out

And we are popping back out later to a quiz which is being held as it is Sam (the WWEG boss) 's birthday so I have already written her a card

And her cake was lovely, shared around, and we came second in the quiz, the best we have ever done

Far Away Physio

So today we have to drive for an hour to see the Physio in Bridgend, it's blinkin' miles away

Well that was strange. She got me doing stuff I haven't managed in nearly 20 years and told me about retraining my brain to ignore the protests from my muscles etc. And we did loadsa work barefoot to try and train the toes on my right foot which have been as wonky as a...... since my accident and by the end of 1 session the toes were bending twice as much as they were before so progress has been made. And she told me about footwearless exercises to do each day......

Monday, 23 July 2018

Imminent Disaster

And I stood up from the dinner table tonight and headed for the washing up bowl. But as I turned I hit my coffee brewer and it headed for the floor. I thought "Oh no, brush and mop", it fell the whole way down, bounced off the top of my foot and didn't break even one little bit. I shrugged, picked it back up and set in on the corner of the table again, this time slightly further back from the edge

Oops, I had forgotten to sort my pics

And 2 days ago I went to the Lyric Theatre to see the National Theatre of Wales NHS is 70 comedy show. Which I did rather enjoy but had forgotten that I had taken pics (possibly because I am not allowed to) but I found them on my camera tonight

Swansea

And we are off to the Headway meeting in Swansea s'afternoon to do f. all that I can see any point in but the alternative would be swimming in the pool

And as ever we had an OK time. I think the game requires too much thought so one can't be sociable but otherwise we would complain that we were bored so dunno what should be done

Sunday, 22 July 2018

My Weight

I weighed myself today and it was down to exactly 14 stone. IIRC b4 my accident I only weighed 13½ stone, so I am down from over 19 stone to almost what I weighed before

Not Cooked It

And I cooked the weeks food last night then today I noticed some Broccoli and some broad beans still on the shelf. Oops, I thought "Shall I cook it, divide it up and add it to the frozen cooked food?" but then thought "No, just clean it, divide it up and freeze it, add it to next weeks food" so I did that

Saturday, 21 July 2018

Off Out

And we are heading out in a bit to see the NHS 70 birthday comedians at the Lyric Theatre, we are gonna eat near there then head along

It's The Same

So I deleted the new uber-zoom function that I had d/led as it was not making my camera zoom more, it was still 4x zoom

Friday, 20 July 2018

Mañana

So tonight I put on spuds to bake and started cooking my weekly food. An hour and a quarter it wasn't even close to being finished so I cooked some "bake them" chilli&cheese bits to accompany the spuds and Roy actually complimented me on the quality of the dinner. So much later I was able to divide the dinner into freezable portions and some for the next few days

(SIGH)

Off to my weekly class @ gym in a few minutes.......

And aargh, there was no Samantha taking the class, today it was taken by Chrissie who if all else was equal I would fancy more than Sam but as a) I have history with Sam and b) She is a martial arts fighter which intimidates me....

Thursday, 19 July 2018

Feeding Who?

And I cooked for me and Timmy tonight. As he will eat my pizza when I make that so he did enjoy it.....

Appointment

And when we came back there wasn't the parcel I am waiting for but there was a letter from the Functional Electric Stimulation saying "Review on......" so 23rd of next month I have to go to a hospital in Swansea so they can check out my FES device

Thursday Business

So we have the usual Thursday stuff to do. Although we are no longer going to Iechyd Da to pick up my organic veg, we now go to the market and buy it from the veg stall which isn't "organic" but they seem to be anti-pesticides.

Then off to MoreReasonsToShopAt.... to get the rest of my shopping

Well we did that, it went according to plan etc.

Wednesday, 18 July 2018

Drowning

And(1) we have an hour long swim s'afternoon

(1) (Oh what fun)

And oh what fun we had. It was much more technical than a Mon session but we did it. Balancing exercise after exercise

New Meter

Then the "meter fixer" from the electric board came early s'morning, didn't phone me like they said he would, but came and changed the meter for a more modern version. He switched the leccy back on in about half an hour, he had quite an easy job apparently

Rob and him did have to move the trug out of the way but it was no hassle, the greenhouse got to stay where it was

Tuesday, 17 July 2018

Out And About

And so we had loadsa supported family tonight too.... so we went bowling....

Opening It

And I opened a new jar of pickled onions tonight. It was no prob. I just opened it. A year ago I would have had to ask my MOS for help

Cycly Wycling

So after waiting we popped to gym where today I agreed to do another 10km cycle.

Only another 6km to go ATM

Healthy, Wealthy & Wise

So we had to get up half an hour earlier than usual s'morning then at about 25 past 8 we headed off into town and went and parked at the Drs and went in to see him. He said "What are you here for" and I had to say "Because *you* told me to come in and see you about my repeat 'script, it is doing right" and he effectively said "Fairy nuff" and wrote us another script

Monday, 16 July 2018

Farmfoods

Then after dinner MM said to me "We need to buy some staff bogroll", so we headed out to Farmfood's. As I had just opened the last of my ice lollies it was time to get another 3 packets (they reduce the price if you buy 3) and I needed more "once a week" proper oven chips for my Friday treat and we bought more salad creme too

And I did it without my FES being fitted, just went and walked up and down the shop

Oh What Fun.....

And as I have no distracting activities lined up today we have to go to Aqua Aerobics for 3/4 of an hour later

It's Behind You

And I experimented again with taking pictures half in front of me and half behind, in Panorama setting on my camera

Forgetful

And I switched on my music then went and got in bed tonight. Then I remembered that I hadn't closed the (relatively) new curtain. I had to get back out of bed and close it, like I hadn't done night before and the light did wake me up about 5.15 s'morning

And I had a crisis, the lamp wouldn't light s'morning. I tried new battery in the remote to no avail. Timmy came in and had a look and said "It's switched off here" - pointing at the on lamp switch which I have never used. So gord nose what happened

Nipped Out

Then we nipped out before lunch to get some wrapping paper for someone's present, and some cash for in their birthday card and also we had to go to the cheap cleaning products shop and pick up some more mouthwash

It was all done before lunchtime, we came home and had some food &c

Wrong Day Cooking

As we were out yesterday afternoon instead of cooking the weeks casserole we had the last portion out of the freezer with oven chips last and I got stuck into frying some onion &c. It's all made now and cooling down, I will lift some out for the freezer later and put the rest in the fridge
