Burgers

So then I set out to make veggie cheese burgers, chips and beans for me, Freya and Dicky. It was OK, the making burgers bit (just put them in the oven) but a> I made cheese burgers and b> I had to slice open the burger buns and I used my right hand for that.

It wasn't the poshest food I have prepared but it was difficult and delicious

And after a whole day of walking everywhere I gave up and wheely-chaired to cook, as I had to do so much back and forwarding and nip to the Popty-ping etc (noisy link - not WS)

Nag

And I had a big conversation with Denyse. Effectively she said "You agreed to get better thusly, but you haven't for ages". Yes, she was right so today my wheelchair is parked across the room, waiting until I go out and I am walking everywhere in the house. Which I can do, I got p*ssed off with having to concentrate on walking so much but I can do it.

Much as it makes me want to cry, she was right!!!

Reminders

First Timmy reminded me of summat I hadn't thought of for a number of years, then next morning Paul reminded me of another of their songs that again I hadn't thought of for a number of years but could remember all the words to

Weirdy Marmite

Then I thought at lunchtime to take out some bread, some peanut butter and some Marmite. Weirdness, I was looking forward to eating sum Marmite again but was a bit nervous about spreading it. But Marmite no longer comes as a black sludge in a pot, it comes in a 'squeeze me out' container and seems slightly more ductile than I remember it in the past

Woe Is Me

And because they are doing some important work assessing a newbie MOS no-one will be free to take me to the gym.

Bitter tears

Team Meeting

So "they" are all having a conference in my kitchen while I sit out in my living room. My "Team Meeting" is going on

And Denyse nagged me a bit more about walking about the house, not wheelchairing. Glum but she might be right

Walking

And I just went in to see Ed to ask him summat, I parked my wheelchair near the door to this room and walked down the hall and into The Office. It is still "have to concentrate" difficult but way more doable than last year

Drinking

And s'afternoon when my mouth was still feeling "dentistified" I tried to take a drink from a bottle of Evian water. Fark it was difficult, I could only feel half the bottle top with my lips.

And blowing my nose was weirdness personified too...

Dentistry

And now my mouth feels all strange, with numb lips top and bottom after the dentist struggled to fit in 2 fillings as the holes were awkwardly placed, sideways etc, but she managed.

Morrison's-ing

So me & Ed nipped to Morrison's, to buy summat to feed Freya tomorrow, to feed me & my staff for the rest of the week, and, more to the point, to buy some Blueberries which they had none of, and Tesco's had none of when we nipped there to check, on Monday

Betterer

And my left leg looks much betterer after 1 dose of Steroid Cream, it is not red, not hot just healing the bit that was my wound

Toby

And then s'afternoon that Toby chap came to visit me. It was cool, we ate loadsa food then Toby and Timmy took on a game of pool. Then I took on a game which was really hurting my right hand but it worked

So there is proof, how much better is my right hand now than last year

Sh*t Doctors

Well we nipped out there and sat in the waiting room for ages etc. Then we saw a Doc, showed him pics of various stages of my infection etc and he prescribed Mometasone Furoate Cream instead of antibiotics this time. It is a soothing cream. So wait and see

Sh*t Doctors

And I can't go to Gym today (Hooray) as I have to go back to the Doctors (Sh*t). I have got another infected looking scab on my leg, right on top of last weeks infection. No more antibiotics, I am sick of them and must be resistant by now, I have had sooo many...

Sloe Ginning

And tonight I carried my glasses of Sloe Gin into the living room instead of necking them in the kitchen. And I have drunk far less - just sipping. Usually by now I would have had about 4 drinks, now I am only half way thru my second. I still enjoy it etc but it takes much less

Strange Eggs

And so I was microwaving scrambled eggs for dinner. So I did them for 30 sec at a time so I could see when they were done. After a couple of minutes it was nearly done and Paul said "Stir it, then heat the beans, let it finish by itself", so I stirred the nearly cooked eggs, set them aside and carried on with microwaving the beans. By the time the beans were ready (1 min) the eggs had cooked themselves by themselves and were ready too.

So tonight we had weird scrambled eggs and beans on toast for tea and it was delicious

Games

And then we tried to buy an original set of Trivial Pursuit which me and my parents will play when they are here over Christmas which will hopefully stop us being too bored

Then later we went back to ThatEvilTesco and bought "What Is This?" and "Zoo Am I?" more board games which between the 3 of them should stop us being too bored

Two Shopping

Good lord. So first of all we nipped to Morrison's and got most of our shopping. All except they didn't have, even in the back room according to the chap we asked, they had no blueberries

So then we nipped to ThatEvilTesco place to get some and while we were there we thought "Organic Muesli, may as well buy some here as it went wrong in the HFS this week, coat hangers, extra strong mints etc. AND they didn't have any blueberries either. So trying black this week.

So in total I spent £23ish on my packet of Blueberries

Christmas Dinner

And before we went to the shops today we nipped to the Ivy Bush Hotel and said "Can we eat here Christmas day?". They said "Ooh, we are nearly full but as it's you I will take you as a last tableful over Xmas

Choking

And s'morning I ate my cereal then 5 minutes later I started choking an a rebel crumb that was stuck in my throat. Cough, cough, cough. No still stuck. Wriggle my tongue a bit. Cough, cough-oh it's gone now. No more coughing or choking
