Sam

And my son Sam came over to see me today as he is leaving in a few days to travel back to university in Manchester

Stickless

So today I was sitting outside, every 10 or 15 minutes I would get up and walk without my stick up and down outside my flat

Sigh

Well I woke up and got up at 7 this morning.....

Beauty

Then this afternoon my daughter came to visit me. Which was special.

Perhaps

So after I am walking so much with no stick I thought perhaps an emergency only stick would be useful. Dunno, I will have to wait and see when it arrives

Bleedin' flip

So I got up this morning at about 8 o'clock, went into the kitchen and made breakfast etc, no problem. When I finished my first mouthful of breakfast suddenly I really needed a pooh. It was strange and sudden (shrug) so I had to go to the loo before I drank my coffee

Out tonight

And a member of staff said "Are you going to Headway tonight?", I said "Is it tonight?" and tried to say that taxi's are much too dear but she said "Person from here want's to go and he has a car, wanna lift?" so I shall go in pair tonight

Good lord, it was a bit strange but it was good being out, and I think Anthony is gonna want a lift every month (even tho he can't talk) so I will be able to blag a lift

And someone said to me "Where's your 'chair?" but I walked tonight, and good lord, we parked across the road, half way up a car park, bleedin' miles but I walked

Shopping

And I managed to do my shopping, got it all, remembered juice this week, still didn't need a pee when I came back so obviously summat is better

Early

I woke up hours ago, and in the end got up ¾ of an hour before my alarm clock went off.

National Botanic

And this afternoon I had another visit to the National Botanic Garden which is right over near where we used to live, and god it's impressive, like really. I have been there before (not before my accident) but I think last time I was there with my parents whereas today was just a relaxing visit but WOW

And I went without my wheelchair today. I walked in, queued for ages, eventually we went in, then I got one of their wheelchairs to borrow

Washing

After I got up s'morning I (it's still a novelty) I changed my bed, washing machine is going as we speak and my new quilt cover looks very posh. That is only the 3rd time IIRC that I have been able to do it myself

Fixed it

And at last summat occurred to me and I was able to make the link to Blog be down from the text above rather than being a long way down. "(BR)"

.... Have Seen The Glory Of The Coming....

Good lord, my eyes are nearly in line. So if I take off my patch and look straight forward if I tilt my head a bit forwards then I see it properly with no distortion. If I change the angle or look to one side then it gets very confusing and I need to close my right eye and just see from the left. But PROGRESS

Knackered

Gosh, after that walking today I feel absolutely exhausted

And it is now late enough to be worth going to bed, I can now not need to be up at about 5 AM

Good lord

Well today we went out to play, we explored Kidwelly Quay, Burry Port etc. It was excellent

And I walked further today on an uneven surface, I think it was the most I have managed in 8 years

God

Well today we had a meeting about me. And how well I am doing, it turned out. And the man who is making my claim was there, he said I might heve my court case winnings by December, wait and see

Visiting

And 3 people who are here tomorrow visited me this afternoon

Kidwelly

And this evening we found the house that I lived in when I had the accident, but I have no memory of living here at all

Well

So here I am waiting for my Father and Big Sister to arrive tonight for my assessment tomorrow

And

Erm.... I am starting setting up another private blog, which is excellent but I can't figure out how to let any members view
