Boots

We went off to Singleton Hospital to fetch my new boot which had eventually come back with a now less sticky up right footwear thing. They now feel a bit strange but pretty good, they are more walkable in than my old boots. But these ones are black which I am pleased about

And after a couple of hours wearing them I think they are more comfortable than my other raised up pair, so hopefully they will be excellent in the long run

And they said to me t'other day that they would post 'em to me, which they didn't and knew nowt about but luckily my Dad was here to drive me over, cheaper than a taxi

Lord

Well he came over lunchtime today and interrogated me. He did say that I was much better than he remembered me, in the 3 or 4 years since he saw me I have come on bounds. And after he interrogated me, and asked me obscure questions etc to see how I was

Aaaah

And at 11 o'clock this chap is coming to assess me, to see how much help I will need in the future. I want to shout "None" but he has gotta decide for himself

Oh dear

Well I woke up, thought "Aaaah", got flipping up etc, at........ at 5.30 this morning

Eating

And it occurred to me half way through my dinner that I was using both hands to cut and eat it. I think it was the first time since my accident when I was trying to be posh enough, so I was using both hands

Visitors

And both my parents arrived in a hire car this evening, then we went out for a lovely meal in town.

And no~one commented on my haircut, dunno if they are used to it or are bored commenting.

But it did occur to me in the car on the way back that I hadn't needed a pee since before I left, I commented on this and my mother said "Gosh, yes, remember when you were in Bath, you needed a pee every 15 minutes then"

Waiting

So now I am waiting. At about 4.30 this afternoon my parents are coming over because I have 2 assessments next week. They are staying until Thursday.

(Sarcasm)

Hoo~flipping~ray

(/S)

Dear

Well I got up s'morning at 8.00 o'clock, went into the newly cleaned because my father is coming to visit later today kitchen, got my breakfast and dropped the packet of muesli which spilled everywhere.

(grumble)

And she cleaned the last bits of muesli that was beyond me, my kitchen is clean again

more Hoo-flippin'-ray

So this afternoon I was again thinking of a typing device to replace my Psion and in the end I asked a MOS who said "Can't you use your phone?", I said "No, I've looked" and gave up.

Later I was looking at my phone again and I thought "Oh god, 'drafts'", looked a bit more and I can type messages to myself and save them. It is perhaps a little harder to read, you need to open and check your drafts but it may well prove valuable.

So now my bum-bag seems really empty without the Psion (Which is good BTW)

Hoo-flippin'-ray

And a member of staff came into my room, said "OK, I will phone BT and find out why your landline phone doesn't work", first of all found out that I can make calls but not receive them, was on the phone to BT for an hour and a half, switched off my PC, switched it back on, resetting everything, and in the end said "Hooray" because my landline phone now rings properly, at last

Oh dear

So up at 8.00 again. But in my bedroom are sitting loadsa clothes that I was s'posed to get showered and change into last night but I was at MacBeth so showering today.... (But I had my breakfast barefoot so I won't need to change my socks too)

Ache

And for some reason my toothache, which has been severe(1), seems to have got better, by itself, spontaneously

(1) I have an appointment next week with the dentist but nearly asked for an advance

'Beth

So this evening a member off staff asked me if I wanted to go see MacBeth tonight, so I said "Yes" going out later

And as I am going out to the theater I got 3 tissues, folded them, and put them in my right pocket, it is 7½ years since I used that pocket

And good lord but it was excellent. Especially as I no longer watch TV or video films but real actors were acting, excellent

Walkies

And I am walking up and down outside without my 'stick

Hairy

Well now I have had my mohawk cut, trimmed, but my unshaved bit is now longer than my hair.

Steamy

This morning, when I went outdoors, it was actually steamy when I breathed. Good lord, I had forgotten that this happens, it was 7½ years, at least, since I saw it last

Sigh

Well, up at 7.30 today, a lie in!!! "Dan, Dan, The Hair-cutting Man" sez he will come and do mine about 11 o'clock, he hasn't forgotten

Geetar

Well I tried to play my geetar today. It was still way too hard but it was easier than before

Exercise

So here I am sitting down trying to stretch my right leg. ATM it won't go as far back as my left leg so I have been trying to make it stretch more but it flipping hurts to do so but as I insist on getting better........

Early - again

So this morning I woke up at 7.00AM and needed a pee. So I got up and did that then I thought "Oh, I can go back to bed and lie there awake or get up" so I got up very early again
