More Reasons To Shop At.....

So s'morning we nipped to Morrisons (noisy) as I needed more salad today and thought "I might as well do my Sunday/Monday shop a day (or 2) early" so I got it all

We drove there, we got out of the car, I walked into the shop, Alex pushed my wheelchair behind, but he needn't, I walked around the shop, walked to the till and walked back to the car

Ho Ho Ho

A Witticism for New Year

Bother

Hoo-flipping-ray. Another day another dollar...

Scared

And I am scared as tomorrow morning I have gotta change the bed.  I have never carried the bag of bedding out on my own two feet, I useda take a day off my walking and carry it on my wheelchair.  Never, so am a bit intimidated

Well I managed s'morning, it was relatively easy, I might have been skiving somewhat in the past

Stress Cooking Pizza

And despite my moving stuff out before use etc I still found it needed loads of nipping about the kitchen to make pizza and chips but I fscking managed. On my own two feet

And it was a bit delicious 

Keep Your Dignity

Right, I had realised that not sitting in my wheelchair to leave the bathroom was making my big towel fall down, removing my dignity. So I had a look today in the cupboard and found 1 (Should have a partner, didn't see it today!) even bigger towel. So  I got out of the bath today, dried myself, got the biggest towel wrapped around my waist, was able to double over 6-8 inches and it stayed up while I walked out of the bathroom, carrying the piece of lifting device to be plugged in, my pants and my walking stick.

No passers by could look in the window and see my bottom

Gym Class

So me and MM are off in a bit to my only gym class that I go to each week. I am a bit excited about telling her how long it is since I sat in a wheelchair. And it felt a bit strange to listen to Timmy saying "You must fix his wheelchair" when I haven't sat in it for some days.

I s'pose that's future-proofing it etc but...

Well I went to class and worked really hard to try and get around this "You are being lazy since Christmas" accusation that has been made. I told Sam that it has been a number of days since I sat in a wheelchair and she made praising noises

But I am vaguely worried about Morrisons tomorrow, walking?  

Accesibility

So watching Breakfast Telly s'morning there was a piece about accesibility, gigs being more wheelchair friendly etc but I was nearly crying when watching and had to turn it off

Exploding Head

Now my head has blown up. That's because it is 2 or 3 days since I have sat in my wheelchair

Minor Panic

And I had another minor panic when I realised that 'cos of this "no wheelchair" rule I was gonna have to walk out of my bedroom after napping, carrying the washing basket and carry it all the way to the kitchen and put it on. I had always sat down to carry stuff before

But today I managed. Carrying in my right hand, walky stick in left hand, it just worked

Gymming

So as Timmy was with me today and he had his "being in charge" head on I went on a bike and did the full 10km in just over 50 minutes.

And he did say that yesterday's crisis was just me forgetting that I have done it before at the pool, and when he said "It's broken" I panicked

Fear

So tonight I am in bed with no wheelchair at the side. Fark, how much better am I, have I got?????

Aargh

So I was gonna come into the kitchen, I pushed my chair away from the desk, went to start pushing it in here..... No, you got a stand up and walk, that is not a moveable wheelchair

Grumpy-ness

So today I am doing that "Walk everywhere" thing again. (Which is excellent etc, I know)

BUT

Because I am walking everywhere I no longer get to think "Ahhhh, that's easier" when I get into my wheelchair for the first time, usually in the afternoon after my nap

Panic

And finishing my lunch I panicked, thought GGtGG better nip out to the car and bring my wheelchair back in. I can't have a bath without it. But after conversation I just went to the bath without it. It was hassle coming out on foot, carrying my 'pants, the tuner for the lifting me out device, my 'stick, towels etc but I managed. Only having one and a third hands that work can be such a hassle

Wheelchairless

And while I was making lunch I said to GGtGG "Take my wheelchair out of the kitchen (where it's in the way) and put it in the boot of the car". I know he will be able to fetch it back later if necessary but as I didn't use it at all last night.....

Gymless

So we headed into town first. Looked in 3 shops and eventually picked up sum new sandals as my old ones were coming undun etc.

Then we headed into swimming pool, got changed, went by the pool GGtGG went to ask the chap for the stairs device that I get down and up he replied "No, it's broken". After much humming and hawing I got half way in down the ladder but changed direction then and got back out. I didn't feel confident enough to go down the last 2 steps as I needed to be able to reverse the project. So we came back here, had lunch then I will have a proper bath and nap

'Wimming

And we need to go swimming s'morning. Hoo-fscking-ray

More Walkies

And Alex fixed it for me s'morning, carried the other chair in and put it in place so now I, hopefully, no longer need my 'chair by my bed

Muscles Contracting

I don't know any more detail but there was proof. I was standing at the loo having a piss, I farted and it stopped my piss coming out for about a quarter of a second. Don't know why but it must be some form of contraction
