Well

What a strange day, I have nowt on, for the first time in ages and the last day for ages. Part of me thinks "Phew ~ relax" and another part of me thinks "Bored".
And I have just reset the PC to try to make it record again but that still won't work. Ho hum

Visitor

Then after my hectic morning my beautiful daughter came to see me. She wasn't too stroppy teenager today so we actually had a much nicer time than I was fearing, as I was too exhausted to do much

Chewing

And at lunchtime today, for the first time since I was at the dentist t'other day I was able to chew food with both sides of my mouth!!

Dr

So the Dr came to assess me s'morning for my case. Gosh it was hard, he was mainly testing my memory which was a bit unpleasant from my point of view.
This was a scarier incident than it sounds like from here
We generally did it, as scary and unpleasant as you like

Visiting AGAIN

And tonight my father and sister came over to be here in't morning to see my assessor
AND we went out for dinner again tonight and I had Aubergine with cous cous which was "not chewable" enough that I enjoyed it

Morning

So this morning first of all I had to take a taxi to the dentist. When he had finished taking my stump broken tooth out I had to take another taxi to the f***ing supermarket, then after shopping I had to take a third taxi home again
And earlier I couldn't be bothered reading on my 'puter, I think I needed distracting but now I can, my tooth is a bit better

Sleep is for the weak

So last night I had to get up at 3.10AM to stop the tumble dryer beeping 'cos it was finished. This morning I was up and dressed and put my splint on before 8 o'clock.

Nervous

I am slightly nervous now 'cos in't morning I get up, eat etc, go to the dentist in a taxi, have treatment, then get another taxi to supermarket, buy loads of food etc then come back here in another taxi

Shirt Crisis

I had a shower earlier and was putting on my shirt when one of the buttons came off. So I picked it up, went around to get another shirt out, got dressed etc,. Then I went asking for help, I said "Help" to some chap, he said "No, my Mummy does all sewing I need, no can do" then a woman came along so I asked her and she kindly sewed my shirt up. The chap has annoyed me with his sexist "Men shouldn't sew" talk, I was well capable before my accident

Walking

So I have just been out for a walk up and down the street and I noticed most of the time, except where there were metal bits on which I had to take care with my 'stick, most of the time I was walking as quickly with my right foot as I was with the left. And yes, I had to move my 'stick quicker than usual to keep up but I was definitely walking more 'evenly'

Tabs

Hoo-flippin'-ray, at last I figured out how to make new tabs appear how I want them. No Neil, not in the control panel like you have been looking for weeks, Tools->Options->Tabs it is in

Calendula

Duh, after a MOS seen it they said that the calendula that I bought last week is supposed to make your bath better so I went back online and bought some definitely ointment cream

Scared

So tomorrow I have booked a taxi to the dentist. From there I will book a taxi straight to the supermarket to do my weeks shopping. So I woke up s'morning and for some reason I thought I was waiting for my taxi from the dentist. And I thought I had forgotten to bring my bag of bags with me so I would need to either make a double taxi journey or buy a load more bags at Morrisons.
Luckily it was just a bad dream, but I had woken up first...

Sleep, or lack of

So last night it felt as if I looked at the clock every twenty minutes or so, but I don't feel too tired today so I must have slept some

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"...
