Big Shopping Spree

Then I went into town and went into, in the end 3 shops, to buy everything that was on Sara's shopping list of things to help me exercise. 3 flippin' shops!!! But we got it in the end, charged to Anthony's account

As seen in pic, back to front, left to right, bouncy ball, throwing smaller ball, non slip mat for under my standing exercises, loadsa various weights and ankle and wrist weights

Denyseing and OTing

So Denyse came today at the same time as the council temp occupational therapist. First of all me and the OT talked about my needs and wants, eg a new bigger loo seat and a new carry food trolley

Then Denyse got stuck into her big lista stuff, dating sites(1), swimming(2), who am I, my timetable etc &c .

(1) Not yet, Denyse will see me in January and p'raps decide then
(2) Jumping in now!!!


(sent from my phone)

Ybot

So Toby txted me and said "Can I do some washing at yours?", I txted him back and said "Wanna come here for dinner too, or do washing tomorrow when u r supposed to be here?". He said "No, sorry, I wanna get clean b4 my date tonight"

What fun

So s'morning Ed changed my bed for me and is now gonna take me shopping for more weekly bits then he is gonna take me to the new (more) local cycling place

And yes, WHAT FUN, we went to Morrisons where I didn't need to buy too much stuff. Came back here, gonna have lunch then we will nip over to the cycling place, not for a cycle today, just to check it out

And it looked OK, we weren't there to cycle today, just check it out and it looked busy but well cool. There were a number of people "cycling"(1) who were much more disabled than me, but all seemed happy

(1) Some on tandems, some on pedal with your hands machines &c

Garlicy

And for dinner tonight I had naan bread pizza with garlic and herb roast potatoes

Now the garlic potatoes, at the start of the meal I wasn't sure that I could taste the garlic but by the end I was sure that I could. I dunno why, perhaps my tongue is getting used to garlic again or perhaps my mind is being told that this is extra delicious because... and it is starting to sink in. Gord knows but it was delicious for me anyway

Walkies

And I practised walking indoors today. Practising keeping my posture straight, I was assisted (held up) by Dicky but it is getting easier every time I do it

More Coffee Machines

So my new Cafetiere wasn't pleasing me slightly as the lid wasn't sitting on it properly so we nipped out to Tesco's and spent £8 on a new one with a different lid arrangement

Shaving

So I shaved s'morning. So "up" on my chin, then "down" as recommended by a MOS last week then sideways to trim off the last bits and my chin feels better shaved than it has for years, either blade or electric

Strange Film

So Dicky brought in 2 DVD's today, one of them is stuck in the telly DVD player, won't play or eject, but I was eventually(1) able to watch "Wall-e" on my PC. it was strange but rather good

(1) After downloading a new "Watch DVD"s program

Standing On Toes

Then today as recommended by Sara t'other day I lifted myself onto my toes and my heels 10 times

Ybot

Then we took that Toby chap out for a birthday meal as he is just 18 now. So we had a pie and a pint (or 3) and it was lovely.
My first born son is a grown up now, how old must I be?

Cafetiere

And when I was making lunch I dropped my cafetiere and broke it, so we nipped into Wilkinson's and got a new one

Drs

Then we went back to the Doctors to say "Where is my reference to an eating specialist that you promised?" and he said "Whoops, I forgot, as soon as I saw u in my list of patients for today I remembered and wrote to them"

Freya

Then I took Freya's school work that she left here yesterday into her school. We parked and I was being pushed towards the school when Freya and Julia showed up in a car.

Freya had been in hospital for a MRI scan which turned out to be OK. She has an inflammation but it will hopefully be better, apparently

Physiology

So Sara the Physio came s'morning and did loads of stepping and walking and balance exercises, including not leaning over when I walk etc which hurt loads but was worth it. I thought I had stopped leaning one way when I walked but she was polishing the cake

Grumpy Busy Girl

Then Freya came round and was way too busy doing her homework to even speak to me, but there you are

Jim Jiminy, Jim Jim Jaroo!

And we went to Gym afterwards and it was scarier than usual, I feel as if my right foot was turning over when I walk but Ed says it looks OK.

In class there were a variety of people who are as ill as I was last year, dunno what to say but if you do work hard you can be weller.

On the exercises routine I was actually able to step up with my right foot first, I couldn't do that last time I tried

More Shopping

So then today me and Paul nipped out shopping, because the blueberries from Morrison's are not as long lasting as the ones from Waverley Stores, who finished their blueberries last week, for the season

Drinking Slowly

And tonight I am actually drinking slowly. Gosh it feels different, recently I have been pouring a glass and necking it in the kitchen. But tonight I am attempting to enjoy the flavour etc

And it did for Matt, I mustn't go down that path

Saundersfoot

Then we went out to Saundersfoot for no apparent reason but it was special and loads boats were parked there
