Washing

So this morning I took the sheets off my bed and washed them. I had to get some assistance as I couldn't cope with the anti-allergy under sheet as it was very creased.

Breathing

I told my sister about my asthma attacks when wiping my poo off, she said "Ahhh", popped in the shop on the way back tonight and bought some adult kind of Baby Wipes. I thought "Yeah but..." but I have just been to the loo and used them to clean my bum. No Asthma attack.
How strange

Dinner

Then we went out and had dinner, and my big sister was saying how important todays meeting had been and how I am moving on

AND she said that she would have to come back on Monday night to meet my next official visitor who is coming to see me on Tuesday

Solicitor

Well the solicitor who was supposed to be here got stuck in a traffic jam where both sides of the motorway were stopped today, round about Newport, a fire in a tunnel. But his assistant came and we did a huge meeting where they talked about how I am getting better etc

And they talked about how I am gonna be having a lot less paid for by Leonard Cheshire carers pestering me, ATM I am supposed to have 28 hours per week in future I will have just 7 hours but lots of support workers paid for by me effectively who aren't necessarily attached to here

Chartered Physio

And she came and saw me s'morning. As she was testing me for the claim she had to try me right up until I failed with much stuff. Which was scary but I did much more than I thought I was capable of first IYSWIM
And she reminded me, I shattered my right Tibial Plateau which was before I was remembering stuff

Nervous

So I am very nervous over my visitors today but my Dad and my sister insisted that there is no need "Don't panic Neil" so...... I am still panicking but "Shhh, don't tell anyone"...

Sleep is for the weak

So I went to bed about 12.30 last night, woke up for the 3rd or 4th time at 7.30 s'morning so I gave up and blinkin' got up then

Waiting

So I am waiting for my sister to arrive in Cardiff airport, my father is there already....

And yes, they arrived, they seem more cheerful and positive than me but they remember how ill I was and how much better I am now, I don't

But I went out for dinner with them and I will see my father in't morning while my sister is interviewing Jackie then I will see her at lunchtime

New Strap

And the postman brought me a delivery today. A new ladies fine watch strap. As my neck was proving allergic to the strap of my caller I needed a new one, to fit somehow. And good lord, it does now

Water

I was in the back garden and I suddenly thought "Try the new water carrier". It was raining over the last 2 days so there should be summat in there. I was nervous but I reached down, turned the tap and loads of water came out. So I don't need to complain to anyone, it works!!

Watching The Weather

Now it has been raining all day here. I looked at online weather chart and it said that it would stop raining by 6.00 and then start later again. Now I needed to put my bins out tonight so at about ten to six I ventured outside with the bins. And good lord, it was stopping raining. About 3 small drops landed on my nose then no more

Tum Ti Tum

Dull day, it's raining

Walkies again

This morning I got up, dressed, had breakfast, washed my teeth and did mouthwash, then went outside and walked from one end of the street (touch wall at end) to the other (touch second wall)

Lord

What a knackering day. Firstly Denyse came round to chat for a bit then watch me shower. Which was very strange, speaking to a woman on the other side of the room while washing my bits etc, but we both managed. Phew. Then a new lady called Sarah came to see me. I think I was sort of interviewing her as my new Off Topic (or Occupational Therapist or summat they call themselves). I think it went reasonable well, she seems to share my twisted sense of humour and just generally comes from 'the right direction'. When they were leaving she said "See you later", I said "Alligator" then she replied "After a while crocodile". EG

Then just after they left Freya came to see me for her weekly visit but I felt too exhausted to properly do owt

More DVLA

So I got a letter said DVLA on the envelope s'morning. I gulped and opened it. It said "Come and be vision tested with this optician" so next Monday I have to phone them and make an appointment, then after my appointment fill in the form that was in the envelope and send it back to them

Fruit

So tonight for supper I had a banana, the first one that I remember eating in nearly 8 years. And what can I say, mmmm, I thoroughly enjoyed it, I recall why I used to enjoy 'em

Lavender Blue

And I complained a little today as both of the lavender oil that I ordered they are actually coming, I ordered 1 ages ago then it didn't come so I ordered another and today I was notified by both that they are coming. Then the MOS said "But you have some already, in your first aid box". Ah, oops, I had forgotten

Big Walk

So today I was looking at the path and asked a MOS to keep me company and catch me if I fell on the scary up and down bit but I managed to walk it OK. Then later without the MOS I went out, parked my wheelchair and walked from one end of the street to the other, and back.

Flooding

And as I had to wash out the small jam-pot before I put it in the recycling I was washing it under the tap. I thought "What's that noise?", looked down and the drainer had come off the sink so water was pouring out from below onto the kitchen floor. So I had to press the buzzer and shout "Help"

Monday Bloomin' Monday

So s'morning I went to the supermarket on the Dial-A-Ride bus again, I am still so impressed by it, it picks me up by my front door takes me to wherever I want and it's free. Anyway I got most of my shopping and some new mouthwash. I suspect you use it after you brush and it keeps your mouth germ free for hours. BUT after I got home was unpacking I realised that I forgot to buy lentils which I finished last week. I have got the rest of the ingredients waiting.... so I asked a MOS and he checked then said that a woman is taking a chap to Tesco later so she will be able to get me some. Phew
AND I found the ingredients for a Whiskey Mac too.....

And I bought a small pack of Bananas for myself, to try and break my addiction to sweets

And I bought a first course for me and Freya's dinner tomorrow
