Then this evening was worth it when I fed my visiting daughter and generally was just nice

Carol

My case worker came to see me today. And she talked some sense even tho I wasn't able to listen to much etc. She talked about me getting better still and some plans for the future. She also mentioned a Carmarthen society of "get betterers" which I may have to go along to next month and see how it is.

She also talked about me becoming a teacher again which is what I will probably want to do but it feels so scary at present

Walkies with no stick

This morning I walked into the dining room. Moved my 'stick into my right hand in order to do "stuff" with my left. Then I picked up my coffee pot and mug with my left hand, my 'stick was "folded up" in my right as in it wasn't on the ground..... and then I walked from the table into the kitchen, making coffee space, with no stick!!!

AND I was able to do it back later carrying a hot pot of coffee

It broke again

And my alarm bell thingie broke again today. I thought "They said press all 3 buttons" So I pressed all 3 buttons. Still broken. A MOS went and asked the boss and she told him, "Press all 3 buttons for at least 5 seconds" Ahhh, it is all fixed now

Aargh

And someone said that they went to the Motability Office by the railway station in Carmarthen and they saw my new powered 'chair sitting there waiting to be delivered. Aargh, hurry up (/shout)

Walkies

I walked into the kitchen and made breakfast, kept walking 'til I went shopping, came back and walked more until about 2.30 this afternoon

They phoned

And Ethicalsuperstore just phoned me to check some delivery details so hopefully the 12 tubes of Tomato Puree is being delivered this afternoon, to make making Pizza from Naan Bread etc easier

Or this evening....

And I was panicing at 7.35 pm, they already told me they delivered until 8 pm so I was beginning to panic fully, I phoned them up they tried to contact the driver couldn't get hold of him. Just then his van came around the corner, phew

(Sigh)

I'm off to Morrisons in a bit to "get some of this weeks shopping"

And I succeeded. I had asked the Taxi man to come back in an hour and a half but it only took me about 45 minutes to get all my shopping

Sitties

When the kids arrived today I answered the door standing up then got in my wheelchair as apart from that there are only 2 seats at t'table. After they left I was too tired/lazy to stand so I spent the rest of the day wheeling. Tomorrow I will have to take my 'chair shopping but apart from then I should be walking all day

Cool

2 of my kids are on their way over to wish me "Happy Fathers Day" now....

And they were and it was cool, they stayed for 5 or 6 hours, relaxed here as well as visiting, it was just well cool

Well done, Neil

"Today I managed to get my wheelchair forwards all the way up the ramp to my flat. Previously I had to turn around half way and go backwards as it was easier that way, but today I managed it all the way"

The first time in a number of years

(Cheers Chris)

Walkies

Well I have done 7 hours today, I have given up now but who knows how I will feel later

Just WOW, you handsome and clever bugger

And WOW. I got in my taxi (in my 'chair) went into town, did my shopping in Waverly Stores and I was just picking up my shopping when Sam arrived. He pushed me up many hills all over town, we were able to buy all I needed, we stopped and had a coffee then we came back here together. Sam had not been here, it was tidy enough (Phew) and he just thought it suited me. He was being a smidge grown up and told me not to say random stuff to random people which may have actually been what I needed to hear

Sigh #2

Well, as I did so well yesterday I am considering going to the Day Hospital on Wednesday without my wheelchair. I am now pretty sure I can manage but it is just such a scary process, I am attached to my 'chair. Even tho I have not sat in it at all this morning, I won't need to 'til I go out in a Taxi to the Health Food Shop later

But my right hip seems to be aching with all this walking, so "take it easy and take care" then

Nuff walkies

Well at 10pm tonight I sat down in my wheelchair again, that's about 6 and a bit hours walking, I will try to do more tomorrow

I am in town at the HFS and meeting Sam tomorrow, which will involve wheelchair's but afterward's...

BIG Grin

Gosh today's stuff is so important to me, so important

Sigh

Well I am supposed to be walking into physio today but walking is hard as I wore out my left leg on Wednesday ~ it hurts this walking

BUT I tried it and it worked in the end, so I was able to ditch my 'chair when I got there and walked everywhere.

THEN later I went across the road and asked "Did my parcel get delivered here?". They said "Yes" gave it to me, I got back, opened it up, couldn't put it together alone, asked for some help and now it works, my wheelchair is in the hall and I now walk everywhere

Good lord but this cooking while standing up is very hard, but I managed. Lockily I had summat simple on the menu for tonight, it will become more complex as I manage longer and more

Ho hum

Off to the Folk Club that's miles away from here tonight, it's where I used to live

And ho hum but it was an expensive taxi to get me there, but it was excellent when I got there.

Walkies

So a MOS said "Wanna coffee in number 7?", so I said "Yes, I will accompany you" but as I was walking with a MOS I asked her to push my 'chair as I walked along with my 'stick. Which went well but the bit of the road that's tilted to one side really made my right foot turn over that way.

Well, more walkies

So I have just bought a trolley that hopefully will carry my cuppa and meals from the kitchen so I will be able to leave my wheelchair parked in the corner and walk everywhere (Aargh, it is a bit scary but positive)
