Impressed

Good golly miss.... So I had to go, with my new keyworker as an accompanient, to the Priory Day Hospital for Physiotherapy today. I was really impressed with it, as I told my worker today just "Thanks for caring about me, thanks for telling the truth".

So next time I shall go alone, now the fear has gone

And I now have 1.5 sheets of paper with my new exercises on which I am to do 3 times daily.

AND part of the reason I am impressed was a woman I was talking to said "My son", I said "How old is he?", she said "21", I said "Good lord, you must have had him when you were 7!!", she laughed and said "No, I was 9" She understood where I was coming from and shot me down, instead of being hurt cos Neil is saying bollox etc

Wow

I was a bit disconcerted by my visit by my daughter. Yes, she was beautiful, she was pleased to see me but my accident was more than half her life ago whereas it seems much more modern to me. Still it was good to see her, good also to cook for her again

Walkies

So today it wasn't raining so I was able to go outside and do that "walk up and down the road until you get better" thing

And again and it's not even lunchtime!! And I went much further this time, from my flat to the bottom, turned around (as before) back up to my flat, past there to the top of the street, turned round again and walked all the way down to my flat

And a third time now, but it was harder so I just walked down and back up the hill, no going past my flat on the way bacck up

Tuesday Bloody Tuesday....

Ho hum, well I am bored now but later my beautiful daughter is coming in and she asked me to cook food for her again. So as long as I make enough for her, she has more than me but she is growing up ATM

World Turned Upside Down

So tonight I was searching for another version of the song to make the layout be better, and I found a new version but it's in a different key, with no "B", it's all stuff that I could play, so I guess I had better practice

Writing file names

And this new version of windows on my new PC doesn't put .htm after web addressed so I need to add it to my "Getting.htm" page, but I will now only add it once, it doesn't need to be in the visible bit

And I have stopped typing .htm in the address bit thingie...

Walkies

So I have permission to walk outside with minimum supervision. Except it is raining today to keep me indoors

Shopping

Well I managed to do most of a weeks shopping in Morrisons(1) today. It all went well, very well, the couple of staff I had to ask to find obscure things were very helpful. All in all it went well

(1) Apparently they bought Safeways 6 or 7 years ago (shrug)

Walkies

So after telling a MOS that I needed her to look at me, I did it, walked from my front door down and back up. Afterwards I spoke to the MOS and she was quite impressed. So now all I have to do is tell a MOS that I am doing it and as long as they check I am not lying in the road in 20 minutes all should be well

Curry Maker

So today I chopped up yesterdays veg to make a Curry. I cooked them, added some lentils. Thought "Oh too runny" added some more lentils. Added more etc. Eventually it was thick enough to eat, and by god but it was delicious too. I tried to make enough for two nights. I succeeded. But as well as tonight's and tomorrow's in the pan I took out and froze 2 more days. Good lord, luckily it is so nice

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Well....

Walk again

Then today after my walk I asked her if it will be possible to do it by myself from tomorrow, she said "Do one with me watching you out the window and we will see how that goes". So after 3.30 tomorrow I will call on her...

Walkies

So today, listening to the MOS who told me to exercise more, but needing help, I buzzed, when a MOS came I wheeled up past the other flat, then turned around and walked to the end of the road and back without a pause. It was the longest walk for some years.....

Rehab

So I was listening to Radio 4, there was a program on about loads of kids who were at war for "The Tigers" in Sri Lanka who after the war folk are concentrating on "the rehabilitation of them". I was in a rehabilitation center too, but I wasn't as....... as them

Waverley Stores

So this morning I was unfaithful to Aardvark, I went to Waverley Stores, around the corner, they sold everything I wanted, fresh organic veg and it was MUCH more accessible than Aardvark, so I might have changed my HFS preferences, while I have movement issues

Walkies

So a woman said to me that I am supposed to be walking more, I said "Too up and down hill" so she said "What about on the road" so today I walked, pushing my 'chair from my flat down to number 7 and back later. The trip back was without someone keeping an eye on me either

Marimba

And a MOS who is from Africa told me that my hangy up thing with bamboo on looked like a small version of a Marimba, a musical instrument

Fix it

And the chap came about to fix my buzzer thing, he just had to reset it and it works again. And I now know how to reset it if it is broken again

Assessment

And the chap came in and assessed me for a new wheelchair and a new electric wheelchair today. Now the electric 'chair isn't powerful enough to take me to town so I will be able to phone a taxi, which makes my sister not panic. So next week he is gonna come back with a larger pushing 'chair and another powered one to try again. But he wasn't able to try footwear for me as the message had kind of only half got thru

And today I was riding in a powered chair which only worked with my right hand. It was too difficult but I was remarkably good

Blinkin' Flip

So there I was exploring stuff on my 'puter, under scanner it had 3 different ways of scanning, I deleted 2 and thought "Fuc* it" and tried it anyway. AND it bleedin' worked!!!
