Home On....

So s'morning we popped out for a walk round town but it was drizzling so instead we went to The Range and had a good look round at their millions of "home accessories"

Still Recovering

And today for the first time since last Saturday morning my neck doesn't hurt, I can turn my head fully right and left
And s'morning I walked into the bathroom, put my 'stick by the door and was able to walk the 3 steps to t'loo without holding on, again for the first time in a week

Off Out

And we are popping out in a bit to fetch that Sturit chap and going out for a meal.
Which will be nice, he was one of my closest friends before my accident
Ooh, It was nice. So we had a starter, main course and pudding each, which was nice if a bit fattening

Cream, bottom

So "someone" recommended a cream to make my coccyx hurt less so Mark had the fun job of rubbing it on s'afternoon. Wait and see....

Better In Bed

And in bed s'afternoon I can lie on my right side again, for the first time in a week

Class

So I had a class at gym s'afternoon and it wasn't as difficult and stressful as I thought. Apart from my go on the exercise bike. Oh I stayed on there for about 7 seconds before my coccyx was screaming

Lightning

And night before last (IIRC) there was lightning happening during a rainshower

And Bad Jokes.
Three dead bodies turn up at a city mortuary all with very big smiles on
their faces. The Coroner thought he should inform the Police to tell them
what has happened. 'First body: Pierre Dubois, Millionaire French
Businessman, 60 years old, died of a heart attack while shagging his
20-year old porn star girlfriend. Hence the enormous smile said the Coroner
to the Police Inspector. 'Second body: Hamish McTavish, Scottish, 25 year
old, won £100,000 on the lottery. Spent it all on whisky and died of
alcohol poisoning, hence the smile.' The Inspector asked, 'What about the
third body?' 'Ah,' said the Coroner, 'this is a most unusual one. Paddy
Murphy, Irish, 30 years old, struck by lightning.' 'Why is he smiling
then?' said the Inspector. 'He thought someone was taking his picture.'

Sleep With It

And I slept with the night light on outside, it seems fine and not light disturbing. And when I switched on the bathroom light suddenly it was too bright for this and it switched off, temporarily

Gymless Day

So as we had a Gym free day today after dinner Timmy got the next section of his "telling me how to....." teaching work and we discussed various things that I was rubbish at but am slightly better now

Trip Out

Then after lunch we headed to Wilko where we bought a new extension lead and a Velcro pad set so we can put up the new nightlights to prevent me falling over at night when drunk, again.
The postman brought the nightlights earlier today. They seem to work but wont know how well until it is dark tonight

Well

So we popped off s'morning to Iechyd Da and fetched my veg, then even before we brought the veg home we popped to the Drs and then a nurse called me in and was taking ages to make the thick gloop go into the syringe, she turned to me and it didn't hurt/take too long or anything, she just injected it into my arse
So that is my testosterone taken care of for another 3 months

How Fat Did I Used To Be

So I am 2lbs short of loosing 5½ stones in the past. Just fark, I am still a chubby(ish) bloke, where the fark did I keep that 5½ stones????

Gym Wonkyness

And we popped to gym s'morning with instructions not to do any arm stuff as my neck/shoulder is wonky. First of all we tried the cycle but I only managed 1 km on that so then we tried the treadmill but again after 10 mins I was knackered

'Net Usability

So yesterday the internet failed occasionally and took ages to connect to my uploading website connection (FTP), whereas today, so far, it has been as quick as a very quick thing

Ouch

So my neck is still hurting but my head is turnable around again. Even tho my neck hurts I can look to both sides again, for the first time since Friday

Urk

So when we got there she said Denyse has been on the phone telling me that you fell over at the weekend so what needs doing? She examined all my movements etc then said "Right, acupuncture for your neck, is that OK with you?" and proceeded to stick I think it was 14 needles into me, only one hurt and that was only tiny. While we did various exercises she did say that after next weeks check up class that I am doing so much so well that I can stop coming to see her every fortnight. At a guess it will be every 6 months - a year between classes!!!

Busy Morning

So first thing s'morning we popped down to the Drs to pick up a new script for Asthma Inhaler and I thought "Might as well..." and got another couple of  bottles of chesty scrub even tho we were only just into the last bottle.
So now I am resting for half an hour then we need to have an early lunch and pop off to Pil near Bridgend to see the beautiful physio/nurse lady and I can complain about my neck hurting since I fell over on Friday

Phew

And after yesterdays crisis on a day when  I have washing to do it looks a bit more promising


And the weather forecast person after the news today said it will rain tomorrow, when I have no more washing to do but will be sunny again on Thursday, when I do the next load

Improving

And I have just gone to bed with my armrest thingy on, for the first time since last Friday that I have felt well enough to

Video Crisis

So I saw some folk on the news taking videos with their mobile phones and thought "Yes, I...." and first of all got stuck into trying to sort out my posh camera. After about 3 hours I ended up again on the video settings menu, in the end I asked MM "HTF.....?", he looked, said "Scrap all the alterations, look, and press that small red button next to the picture button". Aargh. Then I spent another 2 or 3 hours trying to put it on my website, loads of different ways, none of which worked, then summat called out in my head "Youtube, there is an upload button at the front....". So in the end I sorted it, and took another similar video with my mobile phone, well no, I took many, upside down, wrong side up etc, in the end I figured out how to do it properly
