Phew

Awwwww, a quiet afternoon now. Good lord

But I am a smidge bored....

Physioing

Gosh, that was hard work, the physio work with Sara, but it is making stuff easier

Iechyd Da-ing

And I am off to meet Freya at the club tonight

And it was good, not that many musicians but we made it anyway

Busy

So the first part of busyness was gym, then we bought Toby some toothpaste as he asked for that but no cash or food etc. Then after some blarging about the place I am back here, bath, nap, then get ready to go out tonight

Quiet Morning

And I am having the first restful day for some time, well restful morning, I will be busy later.

Turnoff

It seems again that Turnoff Master is actually taking control of my machines and turning them off. Can't recall which options I am hitting but both machines are turning off after I go to bed now

Swimming

After my crisis s'morning I was at the swimming pool again. For the second week I jumped in, but this week I closed my mouth and held my nose. So this week there was no drama. So, perish the thought, I might actually have to say I enjoyed it this week

Blood Testing

So I am up s'morning don't eat or drink anything until they have taken your diabetes blood test, 'cos the last one u had wasn't clear

No breakfast and no coffee s'morning when I had to go there

Tickling

So someone mentioned on Ixion a "Thigh Tickler". I was puzzled, thought "Does that mean moustache?" asked Google and I was right

SLR

And Paul brought in a digital SLR for me to try. Gosh it was way more complex than my point'n'shoot but I was able to take a few decent pics with it

Ybot

After all this we went to pick up that Toby and then had to take him food shopping as Paul said he would bring loadsa veg and make summat special for the 3 of us but his wife cooked all the veg for dinner last night

Dietician

After Gym I came home, had lunch and quickly went napping as we then needed to go see the Dietician at the surgery. We had loadsa stuff to show her as they are noting everything I eat/drink towards my claim so we were better prepared than most of her customers. She looked thru everything and said generally it was well good. She did suggest that I cut out one of my glasses of fruit juice as it's well calorific and replace it with a glass of milk to keep my calcium intake up. She also suggested adding some Cashew Nuts to my stir fry to just top up my protein intake.

She was saying "Drink less" but on the whole she wasn't even too negative about my booze habits

Gymming

And I went to gym today and did as well as ever. Afterwards I spoke to Sam and asked her about other classes. She said "Yes", she thinks it is probably time I left the Fitness After Stroke class I have been attending for a couple of years and move to the Mobility group which has a variety of clients

(sent from my phone)

Dinner

And at dinner time I tried my new "weight reduced" beans which tasted a bit strange but with scrambled egg and toast were enough to make me smile(1)

(1) Or "grin like an idiot"

Psychling

And we went cycling again today. The reclining cycle proved beyond me and required 2 assistants to get me out but then we had a 2 people tandem cycle then a pedal with your hands to improve my right shoulder.

Morrisoning

Then we nipped to Morrison's where I bought a fair amount of food then extra oven chips and veggie burgers to go in the other gfreezer as "snowed in" food in emergency in winter

Change

Well as it is now on my weekly timetable I changed the bed s'morning. Well I took off sheets etc and washed them, Timmy put clean ones on

A Beautiful Visitor

Then that Ruth came to see me, we talked about loadsa stuff etc and she made me feel a lot better

And we talked about a day long Introduction To Digital Photography course at NBGW on 1st Dec

It Is Easier

And on walking today I can say that it is still much too difficult to do without 107% concentration but it is easier than it was yesterday.

And that was easier than the day before.

And that was easier than the day before that.

etc etc

StandyUp

So I was sitting on my up/down seat watching telly today. I put it back up until the moment when it is just in a proper seat position, stopped up/downing, moved slightly forward and stood up. All by myself, I couldn't manage that a few weeks ago, last time I tried.

(shout)I AM GETTING BETTER(/s)
