On Two Feet

And cooking dinner tonight I noticed how much easier it is getting on to my own two feet. And walking a short distance, without holding on etc

MUCH EASIER.....

Where's The Jack

I was playing solitaire (again) tonight but where had the jack gone, all the rest were out?

But I won it easily anyway.....

Dinner...

(... dinner...... dinner, dinner, Bat Man)

So as Ed was here last night making me cook summat different my usual Saturday Night Dinner of roasted veg was left to cook tonight. But as Timmy was on my diary for tonight and he refuses to eat my food I thought that will be Tuesday Dinner when Timmy is no more. But as he is not working tonight that means Ed is here for another cooked from scratch meal

So I don't have to worry about organic veg staying fresh etc

Oh Double Dear

And Timmy who couldn't work today just txted me to say that his missus is still ill but his in laws are gonna have the kids tomorrow so he will be in wurk

Oh Dear

And Timmy who was supposed to be working tomorrow and Monday txted me and said "Ask Ed to contact me" because he wasn't coming to work tomorrow (and wanted Ed to stay on) as his missus is ill. Dunno what's happening Monday, wait and see

Steamy Dinner

And I cooked a pasta, tomatoes and veg dinner and it was lovely, if a bit steamy.

It was surprisingly easy to cook, still much harder than frozen packets but not too much hassle. I am torn tho, organic veg day is Friday, how long will it last if I buy more than Saturdays dinner (And 2 mushrooms for the pizza on Friday which is what I do now)?

Ouch, that must have hurt

And in the picture that I took today you can just see the scar on my throat from where IIRC they had to insert a tube to let me breath when I was unconcious in hospital

Oot To't Pub

So we headed up to the local pub, it was OK talking to one of my neighbours but it is really a restaurant with a small bar room at one end, the economy and folks habits have changed

Pizza 4 tea

And we are having Friday dinner of na'an bread pizza for dinner, it is cooking now and I am excited already

Walkies

As I had missed the last 10 minutes of class and refused to cycle afterwards because I was feeling very strange after seeing the MS sufferer I walked down the stairs instead of using the lift as usual

....ing

And me and Gareth headed off to Aardvark s'morning.

First of all GGtGG fitted some new pads to the FES as someone is coming into gym s'afternoon to have a look etc.

But then we went, bought my usual amount of stuff (but they had no muesli this week) and an extra meal worth of veg as Ed is coming in tomorrow and we are gonna cook a meal from scratch

Well the visitor (an MS sufferer) came in and took me away from the last 10 minutes of class as she was talking to me & GGtGG. She is well unhappy with the FES but doesn't know how to set it etc, she has an appointment at the hospital next Tuesday and I said "Tell 'em you need support" but dunno. It did her some good talking to me she did a couple of steps...... dunno. She did say she is gonna come to class next week so we will see it any progress has been made

S'morning

When I woke up s'morning I had a strange song in my head, going over and over. My iPad told me during my breakfast what it was, by whom?

Espresso

Then me and Timmy went out for a brew, we are in Caffè Nero and it is nice

Gymeroo

It was a strange day at gym, Timmy said unusual exercises so we^h^hI went on a bike for a long distance session and instead of stopping after 20 mins as usual we cycled 7km and it took me 33 mins

Good Tunes

So we headed down to The Parrot tonight as they were s'posed to be having an open night and it was actually rather enjoyableif half deserted

For Old

And wee were coming out of gym today and sitting there having a brew was a nurse who remembered me from Bath, that long ago. It was nice to catch up etc but she did admit to being the first person to cut my hair into a mohican.

Which was nice, it sorted a fault in my memory

UnSwim

So we headed off to t'pool for 1pm but even then it was much too busy but as I was still wearing my sockings we just headed upstairs and did many exercises

But I was able to wear my new headphones and listen to a very funny comedy to distract myself from the dullness involved in cycling, which was nice

No FESing

And I am still astonished about how right my right foot is even without the FES yet today. It has done me so much good for a short device sitting on my belt. My right foot just behaves now!!

Failure

And while I was having breakfast I tried 3 times, 2 of which ended up the same and I failed

That's better, 11'ses

Fark, no, I will cry

So I was looking thru what's on telly tonight and I thought suddenly, "No, I will cry, not watching that" because last time I watched summat like this I was crying
