Walk again

Then today after my walk I asked her if it will be possible to do it by myself from tomorrow, she said "Do one with me watching you out the window and we will see how that goes". So after 3.30 tomorrow I will call on her...

Walkies

So today, listening to the MOS who told me to exercise more, but needing help, I buzzed, when a MOS came I wheeled up past the other flat, then turned around and walked to the end of the road and back without a pause. It was the longest walk for some years.....

Rehab

So I was listening to Radio 4, there was a program on about loads of kids who were at war for "The Tigers" in Sri Lanka who after the war folk are concentrating on "the rehabilitation of them". I was in a rehabilitation center too, but I wasn't as....... as them

Waverley Stores

So this morning I was unfaithful to Aardvark, I went to Waverley Stores, around the corner, they sold everything I wanted, fresh organic veg and it was MUCH more accessible than Aardvark, so I might have changed my HFS preferences, while I have movement issues

Walkies

So a woman said to me that I am supposed to be walking more, I said "Too up and down hill" so she said "What about on the road" so today I walked, pushing my 'chair from my flat down to number 7 and back later. The trip back was without someone keeping an eye on me either

Marimba

And a MOS who is from Africa told me that my hangy up thing with bamboo on looked like a small version of a Marimba, a musical instrument

Fix it

And the chap came about to fix my buzzer thing, he just had to reset it and it works again. And I now know how to reset it if it is broken again

Assessment

And the chap came in and assessed me for a new wheelchair and a new electric wheelchair today. Now the electric 'chair isn't powerful enough to take me to town so I will be able to phone a taxi, which makes my sister not panic. So next week he is gonna come back with a larger pushing 'chair and another powered one to try again. But he wasn't able to try footwear for me as the message had kind of only half got thru

And today I was riding in a powered chair which only worked with my right hand. It was too difficult but I was remarkably good

Blinkin' Flip

So there I was exploring stuff on my 'puter, under scanner it had 3 different ways of scanning, I deleted 2 and thought "Fuc* it" and tried it anyway. AND it bleedin' worked!!!

Excited

We are going out later to Llansteffan, to the Folk Club there

And we got there, there was no Folk Club tonight, so she drove to Ferryside had a look, then eventually drove to Llanelli where we found a pub with live music. I joined in a bit with my Kazoo but it was generally VERY good

Sandwiches

So today I was thinking "What shall I have for lunch?" when it occured to me to try cheese and salad creme sandwiches again, which I used to have nearly every day before my brain injury and which I haven't had since, and yes, it was as nice as expected

Fixer

And really early this morning a MOS stuck her head round my door and said "The wheelchair fixer is here - just making sure you are up", then 10 minutes later a man came, changed my tyres and ordered some new brakes for me

And the bleedin' new tyres hurt my hands as I push as they are so tready

A fly

So earlier on today I opened the front door to go outside. While it was open an annoying buzzy fly flew in. I came back in later and the fly was being really audible flying about the place. I thought "I can't move well enough to kill it, shall I ask for help?" Then I thought "Nah" and just went and sat in my doorway with the door open. After 3 or 4 minutes I thought "Nah, he's still indoors" and reached out to close the door and give up. And the fly then flew over me and back outside.

Ready and Waiting

In less than 45 minutes my taxi is arriving - to take me to the dentist

(moan) So my taxi came, went to Pond St, there a woman said "No dentist now, they have gone out", so I came back without my teeth being fixed

L8R

Then later Freya came to visit me. Which sort of did my head in after such an eventful morning. I cooked for her as a treat, and she was very beautiful

Mornin'

Wow. Well this morning I had to go to the Priory Day Hospital for me assessment re physiotherapy. And it felt REALLY GOOD. AND I got a really nice free lunch. And I now have physio twice a week, starting Friday. In future I will go by Taxi and get an ambulance lift back.

THEN we went to the shop. Bought stuff for the garden etc, got in the car and came back. Then she said "Where's your stuff?". So I had to wait here while she went back, and luckily found the trolley with our stuff in it still sitting in the car park

ETR

So last night I reset my alarm clock as I need to be up etc this morning. I woke up, thought "Nah", went back to sleep for an hour and still got up 3/4 of an hour b4 my alarm rang

Gardening

And I asked for some help planting the Poppy Seeds that my Mum sent over ages ago

Walkies

Today I went to the shop by myself. When I was there I did some of my shopping as normal and for part of the time I stood up and walked

And the taxi today 'cost loads more than usual, he said "Yes, time and a half, it's a bank holiday"

Dead Creature

Last night there was a Stick Insect buzzing around the place, in here, doing my head in, and there is no way I could catch it. Then this morning as I was getting brekky I noticed a dead Stick Insect on the kitchen floor
