FESing Again

And we have decided that my leg looks well enough that I can try wearing my FES again for Sam's Class s'afternoon, just then we will try, take it off immediately etc

And clarkin' bell, it feels a bit strange having it on for the first time in a week. Like good and special etc...

Out For Dinner

Then as Timmy suggested it we are going to Pizza Express to eat tonight as I still have an "Eat some" token that I got for last Christmas

So I had to do the washing up just after lunch

Then we popped to Weatherspoons and  had another glass of wine

What A Morning

So.... today first of all we popped into the theatre on King St and bought some tickets for more popular comedians etc, then we walked back to the car and thought "No, as you only need a few items" so we popped into the Coop and bought Milk and muesli etc.

Then we got into the car and thought "Ah well, Morrisons petrol station" but on the way there I actually looked at my shopping list so before we got petrol we actually had to go to Morrisons and do more shopping.

THEN we popped to gym and did a rowing machine and IIRC I did the distance in the quickest ever time.

Walkies, not in Carmarthen

Then tonight I said "Lets go out" to which GGtGG replied "Where?", "Dunno" so in the end we headed down to Burryport where we walked loads along the walkway which would have been to hard for me to do a couple of months ago but now the uneven surface etc doesn't phase me.

We parked up before the tearoom and walked down past the lighthouse

Moved

Fark. So I watched a program about folk with dementia meeting up with a load of 4 year old's and the effect it had.

By jasus, it was moving. One of the older folk hadn't spoken at all for a few years. First think said was "When are you coming back?"

Hoo-fscking-ray

And it sez on my diary for today to go swimming in the pool s'afternoon

And oh what fun we had. Actually today we were having so much fun that I didn't look at the clock to see how much was left until about 43 minutes into class

Looking Bigger

And the tomatoes, the courgettes and the rest of the veg in the trug is looking healthier and bigger s'morning

Quizzing It

As someone noticed an advertising sign t'other night we are going out to a quiz night tonight

And it was nice, we came second in our team of 5 and they usually have a quiz every week but not next week as they are getting married

And I thought "Oh, how well did we do and I suffered a brain injury some years ago so I am a bit stupid" but on reflection it was the rest of my team who answered most of them

Charity Shops

So we popped into town, King St, and went looking in charity shops. In the 3rd one we found some respectable ties and bought two to wear with my pink shirt and grey suit at the weekend.

Plan B was to borrow one off Timmy but this was me being independant 

Bicycly-wikelicking

Well we popped to gym s'morning and I did 10km of level 15 bicycling in possibly the fastest time ever. Not too knackered once I had rested for 15 seconds

Fscking Hay Fever

And I am sneezy s'morning and have blown my nose about 12 times so far.

And I don't have a cold......

But after about 6 o'clock at night I have stopped runny nose-ing

Out Again

Then s'evening we popped into town again to try and make this Helena Advice sink into my head. Which it seems to have done a lot. But Timmy said "We have been nagging you about this for years and all it needs is for some beautiful woman to tell you just once and suddenly you listen...."

Dunno, it improved my walking with no FES today......

Falling In Love

So today I was working with a temp/student/newly qualified MOS called Helena and I am getting fixated. Because she did me so much good, gave me good advice, told me what to do. After the session I could only walk slowly but my right foot was behaving properly/not turning over etc. I am a bit puzzled about what we actually did but it I can reproduce it I will be well happy

And while we were there Timmy shot across the road to the chemist and bought some treat legs cream which feels comfortable. I can't wear my FES until the cut skin has mended. AND she phoned the FES clinic and said "WTF" as I was the second person this week with bleedin' bits on well old FES marks so they are gonna send me some new pads

Bought A New Case

And the cover case on my phone ripped yesterday for no apparent reason. So on Ebay bought a new one for 3.99 which will be delivered in the next couple of days

Shrug

Were Off

And we are off to see the physio lady in Bridgend s'morning

Oh tra la la

Walkies

So we popped into town and went for an enormous walk tonight, about as far as you can go on my route. Without my FES, we had left it off today to try and heal the wounds it had left on my leg. But I did it. BUT my right wrist was slightly bending up because I was having to concentrate slightly more on how my feet were doing with no FES assistance

But I did it, walking for nearly an hour, uphill and down

Next Weekend

And now the royal wedding is over it occurs to me that it is not a few months away, nor a few weeks but it is actually happening next weekend. That Sam the youngster is actually getting married this day next week!!!

PoshPost

And we parked on Llamas St and walked down towards Wilko along the newish st. On the way along we called into a Charity Shop and dropped off some big clothes and had to tell the assistant that's because I have lost 5 stone. We called into a couple of cheap shops but they had not both items we wanted and as I had no cash I thought "Leave the bank card along" and went all the way to Wilko where I bought more Mansize boxes of tissues and more "carry them in your pockets" tissues.

Then later we went down to the pub in Llansteffan and were able drink proper beer

FESless

And as my right leg is looking poorly under where the FES sits on my leg we have decided (well Timmy has) decided not to put the FES on me tonight. I can still walk without it etc, just not so well

'Twas Broken

So the countdown timer that I use to tell me when to get up after my nap had broken and wouldn't work anymore. I got on Google Apps and downloaded a replacement which I wasn't completely happy with but it was the best I could find. Timmy came in s'morning and I asked him for sum advice and he said "Goto that link to PlayStore on your phone", they have the majority of stuff for your phone. I downloaded summat, still had the same issue as the first one, tried again and I am happy now. So I uninstalled the intermediate and I am happy with the one that's there now

The intermediate ones wouldn't let me choose from a selection of times, like "Normal nap" and "Brief nap after class that's running late" etc
