Washed My Back

And I have just had a shower and washed my back with that new device, better than last time and then dried off my toes with a different bit of it.
VERY VERY HAPPY CHAPPY

My Neck

And a MOS was just in my room for a bit, as she was leaving she said "Lemme look at your neck". So as I can't see it I was nervous, hoped the Calendula Creme will have worked, she looked and said "Wow, it's completely better"

Eugh

And I got up s'morning, had to go back to sitting on my bed to tighten my splint, then I was glancing at The Observer before I had my breakfast and then went "Eugh" rather loudly

Sloe Gin

I was just having a look on Amazon and unexpectedly I found some Sloe Gin. So waiting now..... And it's Organic too.

Books

So I had been reading more short stories, as I couldn't cope with my 3 volume SF tale, but a few days ago another book arrived, one which had been recommended by IXION, a tale of the RAF flying miles to make the Falklands stay British and I am enjoying it a great deal, I think it is now "my current book"

Biggest, longest, walk in nearly 8 years

Now up 'til today the furthest that I had walked had been 2 up and down our street. Today I walked 3 times full length there and back

I am still a bit proud...

Fixed it

So on my webpage I had 2 photos next to each other, so when you scrolled down it looked like there was just one pic for ages. Then after much humming and hawing I was just about to buzz for help and say I don't suppose there is a web designer on the premises today, but in the last few minutes before I did that I discovered what I needed to do to move the picture upwards and it looks a bit more sensible now

So 'vspace="xxx"' was the new command that I have learnt about today

Excited

So I am gonna have a shower tonight and this time I am gonna try out my back washer, try and scrub myself with the big brush

And big WOW, it f**king works, it is the first time my shoulders have been washed since I stopped needing help to wash.I can wash the top half of my back with "it" and reach the rest of my back freehand.

DVLA

So even tho the DVLA have said that I can't drive for now I did an official DVLA practice theory test. I did it in about 1/3 of the time allocated and score 100%. Obviously some part of my brain still works

But I failed the second test, only 41 out of 50

Woe is me (again)

And I began to realise how fu*ked my eyes must be

But I started another game, with twisting my head/neck around from the first go and it worked this time

I WON

Stories

So I am bored trying to read the (new) long story that I have so I started reading another book of short stories. The first story impressed me so much that I had to scan it and make it available for all you lot to read

My Memory

Well, my medium term memory seems to be getting better. Every time I open the bank I have to type in the password and then a few letters from the remembered fact. Usually I had to look up the password on my "secret" file but I could remember the more obvious to me remembered fact. But it seems that the last 2 or 3 times I did it I remembered the password too

Woe is me

I got a letter from the DVLA s'morning telling me I can't see well enough to drive, ATbleedin'M

Busy

So in about an hour the first Taxi is coming to take me to Priory Day Hospital to take back my new too small splint and change it for one that actually fits me.

WOW, I have the new splint now and it feels so much "Pulling my ankle tightly" than the old one did

After that I am going to Caffi Iechyd Da for the Folk Night and dinner etc. I thought I was getting a lift but her car is broken ATM so I will have to pay for my accompaniers taxi too

But WOW wasn't it excellent tonight, I am a bit too drunk to type more but just WOW

I am relatively pleased that someone is accompanying me, I thought I was gonna have to go on my own but "they" have asked someone to work a very strange work pattern today so they can accompany me

(Sigh)

I didn't go to bed until 2 AM last night and I still woke up and got up at a quarter to nine s'morning
(/S)

S'pose that was a lie in, I didn't wake up at a quarter to eight

Washing and Drying

Well I had a shower today and as usual was struggling to wash my back. Afterwards I got dried, used my toe drier which was easier today but then I noticed ¾ of the way twixt my handle and the 'drying' sponge was another 'cleaning' bit. If I had noticed earlier I would have had to take off the 'drying sponge' temporarily then washed my back with the other brushy bit.

Och well, next time, but it did prove easier

Baldy

Someone cut my hair for me today but they insisted that I have a shave too

(Mouseable now)

Disabled Loo's

So this morning the posty brought me a) A change of my dental appointment, this one is sooner!!, and b) My key for disabled toilets around the country and a book telling me where they are

So

So I got up s'morning, put back on the socks I had only been wearing for a couple of hours last night, then breakfasted, then phoned the Taxi company and booked 2 for tomorrow. (sigh) tomorrow after lunch I need to take my new splint back and have the size readjusted then in the evening I am going to the Folk Club in Carmarthen.
Then I will brush my teeth for s'morning

Change~Of~Plan

"Someone" told me that Jackie is working tomorrow after all and she has permission to take me to the Folk Club in her car, so I phoned back and cancelled one taxi

(Grin)

Wow

And tonight, for the first time, I tried out my new "toe drier" And WOW it works. Tonight I had my shower, got dried, got dressed and was able to put boots on straight away, like I haven't been able to do for some years
