Better

And we decided not to put a dressing on my right shin today as they do seem much smaller etc. We will check in't morning

Gym

Then I walked into gym with Sam today. I am a bit gobsmacked, I think day by day how I am doing but in gym I think "How was I ..... months ago?" and it is too much for my brain to take in

Ing

And s'morning we went to Aardvark again, walked in, walked up and down the stairs, walked into the back room, walked back out etc etc

Sigh

So I am off to the doctors in a bit for my diabetes blood test and then I am nipping to gym for a workout

So I walked into the Doctors, drove to hospital for my blood test (I know!), drove to Morrison's to pick up my 'script then drove to gym. As it was late I got on a bike. After 7.5 minutes me and Timmy fell out and I stopped and came home

Dunno whose fault it was but it's done

Right. So I called Timmy in, we had a discussion and I think we have mended our bits, we know what to do next time

iPhone

And I tried (again) sending myself a txt message from TinyTimmy's phone, an iPhone which doesn't have a keyboard and it proved possible, certainly not impossible so when my phone is up for renewal in March/April.... see what's available then and try it out

Again

So we (Me and TinyTimmy) discussed what was happening today and decided to do bugger all s'morning then have an early lunch and bath etc then go off and have my blood test then go to gym and have a late session again

Late Gym

So because we had been delayed s'morning and then The Git had taken off my iodine plaster so Denyse could have a look we didn't go to gym until much later, after my nap. It was well busy, too busy to get stuck in but we managed 2 upper body exercises before I got on the bike. So at 6 minutes I did a really fast minute and then I waited until the last minute to do another because I couldn't carry on yesterday after it.

I couldn't today either but my time was up anyway so I just finished

'Net Was Broken

And the internet connection broke s'morning, it was no longer connecting thru the wire but wirelessly. It did still work but slower. So "someone" has to get on their hands and knees and switch off and on again the router box which is half way down the back behind my desk and the router in the hall too. It all came back to life a couple of minutes later

The slow picture on my screen and the quick one

Hooray...

So (The Beautiful) Denyse is here giving Gareth and Alex their yearly assessments then I have to..... swear swear.... go to the swimming pool with Gareth The Git where we can do loads of new exercises that I learnt t'other day

And she was here for so long that we missed the quiet swimming pool window so I will go to the gym and do some exercises later

Meatless Snooker

I was watching a snooker match on telly earlier and in between games the commentator commented on how both players were vegan. No meat, no dairy....

• I felt bad about eating a yoghurt while this was on.....

Gym

And we went to gym after going to that Tesco's place to buy some more ink for the staff PC. It was quite good, did just arm exercises then got stuck into cycling, so after 6 and 12 minutes I sped up for 1 minute which was I think effective but after the 2nd fast session I was too knackered to carry on and finish my session. So far I must just do one faster session per class

Patches

And tonight Timmy was a bit concerned about 2 spots on my right leg so he put on iodine dressings before my iPad thingies so hopefully it will be all cleared up in a couple of days

Aargh

The bag is packed, the iPad is charged..... we are off to meet Sara in a bit....

(That sounded much to positive, I am not looking forward to it after the first meeting...)

And it was total fun today. On the way in Timmy bought some arm bands which actually should have been called "Feet bands" after much mucking about

Intimidated

So tomorrow Sara the physio is meeting me and SmallPaul by the swimming pool and she is gonna teach me some new tricks while Timmy stands by the pool with the iPad videoing the whole experience so I can have no memory issues....

The Doctor

Gosh we watched a Dr Who tonight and it was as excellent as an excellent thing...

Saturday Nights Dinner

And because we had summat else last night tonight we had my usual Saturday night dinner of roasted veg etc and by gord it was as beautiful as ever, or more so

Improvement

And as I walked round to the recycling point today we noticed that even tho I didn't have any FES device fitted that my right foot has learned by itself to keep itself straight. I still need the FES sometimes but just wow being able to walk without it and 2 flat feet.....

AND I made some progress on walking later too....

Keen

And SmallPaul came into work 5 minutes early today as he is so keen....

Curry For Tea

And as Ed is here and I bought some extra ingredients yesterday (and last week) I was able to say "Do you want Linda McCartney and roast veg for dinner or curry?". So guess which I am preparing tonight

And it was actually rather nice. It said "Extra hot Vindaloo" on it and I could actually taste summat. It didn't taste extra hot but it was nice anyway...

Baldy

And Hair Cutter Ed is working today (I haven't seen him for ages) and my hair is cut once more
