What A Day

Good lord, what a day. So this morning a woman who is assessing me, called Janet McClean, came to see me and talk no end together. When I objected to one piece of what she was writing down she said "No, the more stuff I say you need the bigger your claim will be." So fairy nuff really. She was sensible etc

Then we (me, my sister and her husband) went out for lunch. We went to Waverley's Cafe but they had finished serving lunch so we went exploring. In the end we found Caban Y Dderwen and it was absolutely lovely

Then we went to Morrisons and did my weeks shopping.

Get Along

So they are talking about being tolerant etc but it had been thought of already

Assessor

So, according to my timetable (the one in my head) I should be going shopping this morning but I have got to stay here and see the 'assessor'. Hopefully she will have finished by 2 or 3 PM so I can get a lift to Morrisons [noisy] instead of a Taxi

Up

Finally got up at 7.30 s'morning but I think I was awake all night. Gosh, I may nave slept 'til about 3 AM but from then on I have been mostly awake

Manyana

Gosh, tomorrow the woman is coming to assess me and how much help I may need etc. (Scared)

Wetherspoons

And we went and had a really good tea at Wetherspoons. They were just about to cease the Sunday Roast when we got there, just in time we got there and it was very nice. Tomorrow the person is coming to see me in the morning, then in the afternoon they can take me shopping (and save me a taxi fare) then probably to the same place for tea then Tues AM they are going home

And we walked there from the car, took ages having tea (and pudding, for some of us), then walked back to the car and came home and it was only then I needed a pee, obviously something is getting better

In The Air

My sister and her husband are in the air coming here

They have just landed

27 miles to Carmarthen now

Books

Well I have got a hard back 2 books in one of Douglas Adams ~ Dirk Gently Omnibus which I did enjoy at the start but it is way too difficult to hold in my hand(s) to read so I bought 2 paperback volumes of each of the two books. I am excitedly awaiting it then

Wheeling

So I am now in my wheelchair until tomorrow, resting

But I did walk everywhere yesterday, my wheelchair stayed by my bed all day.

After 6pm

And I am still on my own two feet

7.30 now

9.30 now, still walking

It's 10.30 now and I am just about to walk to bed

Carry

So I got up about 10 to 8 s'morning, got dressed etc, then walked around my bedroom, took the covers off my bed on foot, walked to the kitchen carrying that basket in my right hand, put it on to wash etc. I suspect that I will have to sit down in order to make my bed but we shall see

I carried the stuff into my bedroom on foot but had to sit down to do the quilt cover. Which I had to ask a MOS to help, as my 1½ hands weren't working properly

2nd New Book

And I have just finished The Mouse And The Motorcycle which, while a much less serious book (OK a kids book) still made my grin and smile on the last few pages, a happy ending

And I thought to myself "What next?" afterwards and found a copy of Douglas Adams - "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" and I probably read it before but I have no memory, it seems like a good new book

Fixed It

And for the last 2 days I haven't been able to send txts, they haven't been going. So in desperation I asked a chap if he could take me to Tesco's(*) to ask them, he said "Why?" I told him and he said "Try this to fix it, it might fix it" and it flippin' did

(*) It is a Tesco's phone

Wheeling

Well I got up today but today I am resting, in my wheelchair. Tomorrow I will walk again

Shower

Right, it's about 10 to 9 and about 9.15 I am gonna sit in my wheelchair and take myself to the shower room

Phew did so, but I am remaining in my 'chair now because the last walk to it was far too much, I felt as rough as a..... So tomorrow I will rest in it then walk everywhere on Saturday again

Table

And I finally figured out how to write a separate thingy under each picture. OK, it's not perfect yet but I am beginning to get the hang of Tables

Cooking

And I have just walked into the kitchen and made tonight's dinner. OK, I will need to take it out of the fridge and cook it but I did all the preparing malarkey on my own two feet. OK, I need to wipe the shelves but I thought "No, sit down first"

I stood back up, wiped around while I was waiting for the oven to heat and it was delicious. But done standing up!!!

Walkies

So I got up s'morning, walked past my 'chair and I have been walking ever since

Well someone came and delivered a big box of muesli which I had ordered. He knocked the door, I walked to answer, asked him to set the box just inside, had to bring my wheelchair, pick up the box and take it to the kitchen. I opened it and put my cereal away. Then I took my wheelchair back and started walking again

Multi Talented (new pic)

Then today I had to use my new device, which had only opened big jars, to open a small bottle of wine

Dinner

Usually for lunch I have 1 or 2 pieces of bread made into a sandwich and don't eat loads until dinner time. As today I had loads of Lasagna etc for lunch tonight I won't have as much dinner as I usually do, no oven chips
