Fsck it

So every time I stand up and walk I am thinking "Shit, it's too hard." but fsck it, I don't need to do it, I can be a cripple forever. Or I can continue this relearning process until it becomes easier

No, no, no

They tried to make me go to Rehab, but I said "No, no, no"

Right hand

And I am using my right hand to help me type today and it is working. QWERTY are left handed and UIOP etc are my right hand and it isn't a great deal slower, but it still f**king hurts

Lie In

In order to stay asleep tomorrow morning and therefore have a lie in I am staying up later than usual tonight

And hoo~f*c*ing~ray I woke up earlier this morning but was able to go back to sleep and I didn't wake up until 8.20 ~ a lie in

Bed

And today I succeeded in changing my bed by myself. It was the first time in more than 7 years I have succeeded in changing my quilt cover. The first time, obviously I am getting better. And better and better......

Stickless

"without my stick" is a bit important. More than a bit, it's very important

2pm

So today I abandoned my walk everywhere at 2pm. It is the most I have walked without my stick by a factor of 20 or 30 or more

Walkies

Well I got up this morning and walked into the kitchen, made breakfast, pushed the trolley to the table, walked from there when I had finished sat down in my 'puter chair and now looking at my PC. Wheelchairs, who needs 'em?

So I walked into my bedroom, looked at my box of washing, thought, sat myself down in my wheelchair, carried my washing to the machine, put it on, then returned myself and the wheelchair to my bedroom, parked it and walked back out

AND more to the point everywhere that I am walking this morning I am doing it without my 'stick

Sigh

7.15 s'morning.....

I don't think I will get a taxi to Waverley Stores today, all that is on my shopping list in veg which at a guess I will look for in Morrisons when I go there on Monday

Dinner

And tonight I made myself a small dinner as I had so much lunch

Mender

Then this afternoon someone came to service my boiler. He had to do much strange computerized boiler servicing, never even saw a pair of pliers

Well

So I woke up early but not as early, so...... anyway I received a bill for £100 for my basket which I have had to send to my sister as she is gonna apply for funding....

Today I am off the PDH again, and I want to say that I am so pleased holding hands but it hurts and makes me better which is a bit distracting.....

Gosh, well it went really well with my exercises etc. But today, for the first time, I used my 'stick outside, got through the door and picked my stick up off the ground, and kept it there for my whole visit. Walking sticks who needs 'em?

Wow

And tonight I thought "What shall I read?" looked at all my books thought "Nah" thought "No" then I found a copy of The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, and wow I am so impressed that I have read 48 pages so far with more to come tonight etc. It is the first book that I have got into for 7½ years, I am enjoying reading again, and I am capable of too

Grating

So for dinner tonight I made a Pizza again, with onion and mushroom. But when I made it tonight I simply grated the cheese, which I couldn't manage 2 or 3 pizza's ago. So I now have a spare utensil, my grating device, that I no longer need

Dull Thursday....

So here I am.... sitting here...

Tra-la-la

Thursday

Nowt on today, nowt to do, woke up very early this morning, I must stay up a bit later in order to sleep later in the morning.....

Microwave

Then I reheated the rest of the curry in the microwave for dinner. I remembered what the woman who explained it again had said and it was actually easy to use tonight, easier than it has been in the past.

While that was 'doing' I looked in the locked drawer for summat else and found the instructions to my watch. I had thought these were lost so I had got a downloaded set of instructions which were not helping me, but tonight after reading the printed instructions I was able to switch off my alarm which has been going off every day for a week and switch off the dull beep every hour function

Up

Ho hum, I got up about 7 am this morning, I got bored with waking up earlier and going back to sleep. So I am off to PDH in a bit, without my wheelchair

Phew, I have done it all and come back now. First of all we worked on my arm, gosh it hurt but double gosh it made me arm much (not an exaggeration!!) better although now I am a bit puzzled what she had to do but anyway I can nearly straighten my wrist while my fingers are extended, so much better than last week

And they said "In 2 weeks time when you said you couldn't make it come here early and one on the staff will take you across then they will bring you back here later, it is just 'there'"

AND they said that they have booked me in for a Chiropodist but dunno when that is gonna come together. So the infection in my toe should be cured in the end

Her mum

(Scary)Then Freya's mum came to pick her up, we were talking about how ill I had been ages ago. She told me that when I first came out of my coma I couldn't speak for a while.(/Scary)

With Freya

And Freya came over to see me, it felt as if she was relaxing, not a 'special visit' any more, just her at mine. And she is staying for ages, 'til after her bedtime 7 years ago
