Mile

So just now I went outside and was walking up and down without my 'stick on this path. I had up and downed a few times when a MOS walked past, I asked him "How many KM in a mile?", he got out his diary, while I carried on walking, when I got back he said "1.60summat" so I carried on walking until at last I had walked without holding anything 1.625 kilometers. So I walked a mile without my walking stick

Visitors

Then later this morning more visitors came to see me, Brian and Rita, Julia's parents. It was a bit strange but well OK, they were talking about how I was when I first had the accident and when I first came out of hospital and how I am now etc which was a bit upsetting but reassuring too.

And for a Xmas present from them first of all I opened a half bottle of whiskey, thought "Oh.... erm... thanks" opened my second present and it was a bottle of Ginger Wine. So combine the 2 together and it will make a Whiskey Mac. VBG

I commented how I used to think Julia was very beautiful but looking at Rita I can see where she got it from!!

Up

And at 'em again, 8.30ish AM

See me

Then later today all my kids came and had dinner, all of them. It was the most I have had sat this dining table, ever

Post Mortem

It occurred to me while at my sisters summat came on't telly saying "post mortem" and I thought "What a sh*t job, looking at bodies" etc

Gossip

While I was staying at Carly's I felt that her loo was much too low, if you are sitting down to pooh it proved really difficult to stand back up, I had to pull on the sink and the door handle but I managed in the end.

But on the way up I went to the loo before leaving then didn't need to go again until we were 3 countries away, so obviously summat is getting better

Slept

Well I slept last night so at a guess I am a bit better today. This afternoon my 3 kids are coming together and I will try to cook us all food etc.

Weary

Gosh I am worn out/knackered. Today we travelled back in another aeroplane this time to Cardiff, then an hour and a half rest of the way back. So far I have eaten my dinner and put pics together in web pages, I hope they are lovely but I am now too tired to do owt else 'til tomorrow

More Xmas

Then as no-one here gave me any presents but I got some anyway so that Santa must exist.

We hung about talking and drinking red wine and did not much else. BTW I was the master of ceremonies

Happy Christmas

Good lord, at my sisters house and I have been sitting on the PC for long enough to actually do stuff like this so....

We had a really long drive t'other day to Bristol to t'airport they scooped me up in ambilift in my wheelchair then I had to walk 10 paces without my 'stick to sit down. We had a briefish flight to Glasgow where we were met by my brother=in-law and taken to his house.

We had loads more adventures, me, my little brother, my Mum and Dad, and my b-I-l's Mum. I will have to tell u more later but for now there is a que for the 'puter

Heathenmas

Well, Happy Heathenmas to one and all

Not Strong Enuf

Last night I was sitting outside for a bit, it was chilly so I tried to stick my hands up the opposite sleeve. Left hand no problem, right hand couldn't do it. It was a combination of not being able to move it round and, majorly, not being strong enuf to maske the elasticated cuff move out of the way.

Seagulls

Jonathan Livingston, I got it for Chrimbly. I last read it about 20 years ago and I had forgotten, but WOW how cool, and I am a bit jealous

Visitors

Then after lunch my Dad and little brother came over to see me, we didn't do much except taking a few photos and then went out for a lovely meal. They are gonna have to take me away in't morning tomorrow, so see you when I get back

'Puter Woes

Then today suddenly my computer stopped being able to look at interweb sites, it just didn't work. I thought "Oh woe" but suddenly a load of email arrived so I knew it was still connected. I restarted Firefox, it still wouldn't work, so I restarted the whole PC. Now it works perfectly again, email and www access. (shrug)

I was so excited that I woke up

Very early s'morning, lay there for a bit then got up too very early

Because my Dad and Brother are coming over today to take me to Scotland tomorrow, to my sisters house, for Chrimbly. Then when I come back it should be much warmer again, just proper cold December temperatures

Strange Memory

So I went outside today, I was looking around and in my head was a song, oh dear, my memory is getting better

Aargh

So yesterday someone phoned me and told me that the Ambulance wasn't coming s'morning to take me to Priory. After I had set my alarm clock and I forgot to unset it. So I got up early s'morning, went out with my thermometer and it said nearly minus eight degrees, yes, it was very cold

Double Take

This afternoon someone knocked on the door, I thought "Too early to be Freya", went and answered it and it was my big 19 year old son who has been in Manchester for months. Later Freya came too, I saw them both!!

Priory Off

Someone phoned me just as my dinner was ready and told me that there will be no ambulance coming for me tomorrow, so I'll see them at Priory Day Hospital in the new year
