Sara-ing

Then Sara the Physio came s'morning and did loadsa walking back and forward practice, keeping my pelvis straight with my 'stick in both hands etc.

I didn't particularily enjoy the exercises but I do enjoy feeling better

Fixed he said hopefully

So s'morning me and TechnoTimmy got stuck in to trying an email client, not the BT site that I have been using for.... ages and it seems to be working with all 3 of my accounts simultaneously

Walkies

And I have been practicing more than usual walking with my right hand s'morning even tho I have been doing much practice every other day. But it still makes me wonder, everything is more upright etc but it feels so unusual for me, still

Calmer

And it seems like a warmer windless day now, that Bertha thingy has passed now

Winterish

And this evening for the first time in a couple of months I had to put another garment on over my T-shirt

Perhaps it's this Bertha thingy and it will be warm again tomorrow, wait and see

Cold

So I have just had a nice warm bath and I am currently lying on my bed to have a nap. So my left arm is warm enuf, my right arm, both legs (and my bottom etc) I am all warm enuf apart from the toes on my right foot.

At a guess it is circulation related but it all comes back to my accident

Ice Cream Style Stuff

So just now I was having a treat, I had some frozen yoghurt stuff which looks like ice cream, tastes like ice cream but as far as I can read there are about half the calories of ice cream.

Am I right?

Early Shop

So today as it was in my timetable to go shopping s'afternoon we decided that as it wasn't raining we should go s'morning, we did and I was in the kitchen putting it away when it started to rain

The sun's back out over a nearly cloudless blue sky again by now (2.20pm) so just..... gerd nose

Only Happens When It's Raining

Oh, big thunder today

Solitaire

And I have just played the first game of the day and I won.

Which must be positive etc about summat

Wow, that's 2 out of 2 now, I'd better stop or I might get too excited

New Routine

So today, for the 4th or 5th Sunday in a row, we are gonna be learning about Neil's new routine. Nowadays Neil goes Supermarket Shopping(1) on a Sunday rather than a Monday when I am usually going swimming. OK tomorrow I won't be, Sara Davies is coming to see me at shopping time but I will go today as eg I need to have a nap in the afternoon and other business

(1) Which is minimal but they don't sell eg bread rolls in Aardvark

Better

Gosh, well I am getting better even if it is sometimes difficult to express in words. OK I just had a bath. Got out, standing in the bathroom. First of all I was bending over to dry both shins/calves without having to hold on for balance, summat I couldn't do a month or 6 weeks ago. THEN I was able to dry my right leg with my right hand, summat I haven't been able to do for nearly 12 years

Shopping

And we went out today and tried to find the shop on the corner of the market where I bought eye patches in the past but couldn't find it anywhere. We looked all around town and couldn't find any pirate eye patches

Dinner

And I made our usual Friday night dinner and had naan bread pizza and chips. Just yum yum in the extreme

Gym

And went back to an actual Gym class today and it was run by Sam. And when I was there she got me to do that getting down to the floorband then back up thing and even I am astonished at how much easier it is now. And she commented on how much thinner I am which was nice. Even the stepping up and over thing is so much easier now.

I was torn, I really like the benefits of gym but doing the actual exercises is mind boggling dull

Aardvarking

So we went to Aardvark and did most of my weeks shopping. Will go to supermarket on Sunday and get the rest

Biting Nails

So after breakfast I got stuck into a session of biting my nails. But it hasn't been a 'bad habit' for some years now, I looked at my hands, thought "Them" and bit 3 of my finger nails, so now they are all of acceptable length

And now I won't bite them again until they need it

Short Term Memory Improving

So I got up  s'morning and left my bedroom, I thought "On the way to kitchen got my iPod thingy from where it has been plugged in in't living room", got it and then opened the door into the kitchen

• So my short term memory is better about some stuff some of the time

Gym

Then after lunch we went to gym. Oh such fun, but I did my exercises and cycling

Bungalowing

So s'morning we had nowt to do so we went over exploring an empty house which actually seems to fit all my criteria, including price. And while we were parked out the front we met one of the neighbours and it seemed pleasant
