Wow (Redone now)

So Paul came round today and caught up with the paperwork that it was too late to do last night, then Sara the Physio came round so we all set off for the gym. Just double good lord, I did it well, managed to walk on the treadmill, grimaced on the pedalling machine, was astonished at how straight up my right arm could be on the lifting weights machine etc. So we made another date in a fortnight to go back and sign up etc. My new hobby.....

Then we ventured in and had a look at the swimming pool, we have agreed that I am allowed to wear t-shirt to hide my flab and just walk in the pool, none of this swimming stuff which is nearly impossible but they say that just walking about in the water for half an hour will do me good

So one of next weeks agenda is to go buy some trunks

OAA

Wow, so me and Freya went to the monthly folk club and it was very special

Ed

So I went off with Ed to (Voluntary) Work, which went well, we had updated the web in about 4 minutes then got stuck into trying to design a new flier for them, I don't think it is very good so far, no background etc, but "they" sounded very pleased. More to do in a fortnight when we go back (as we had to tell 'em today), there is no point going every week, there is not enough for me to do

Waking

So I woke up, got dressed today, reached into my drawer and took out my tablets. I took one hay-fever tablet out and dropped it onto the floor. No sign, it had gone. When Paul came here I asked him, he reached under about 6-8 inches and pulled my tablet out from under the bed

Wow

So Paul came here s'morning, we talked and he did some chores for a bit, then we went out and bought some more sweets, as on Friday I start at the gym and I shouldn't eat as many then. Then we went to a different shop and bought another bottle of sloe gin to replace the one that I broke last night. I went into the shop in my 'chair, went to the end of the aisle, stood up and walked behind my 'chair with the basket on the seat. I walked up the aisle, got gin and a bottle of water to take to the gym on Friday, turned and walked to the til. I stood there and paid, walked towards the door. By now Paul was saying "Don't overdo it", I walked to the doors, walked out of the doors and walked across the car park where I finally sat down again in the car

The furthest I have walked in over eight years!!!

How f*cked

Oh, and we talked about how f*c*ed I was, about how my right knee was broken but healed itself as they were busy, how my right wrist was broken, about how they used to shake me by the right hand when I was having a fit, while my right wrist was broken and not noticed yet..... And he reminded me of how they couldn't keep me breathing when they were waiting for the Air Ambulance.....

Brissle

So me and Paul are travelling over to Bristol today so I can be assessed for my claim. Dunno what that means or what they are gonna do.... Wait and see

Flip, we have done it, 3 hrs in the car, met my father who had flown over for the meeting, had a delicious dinner, went and that chap talked about how f*cked I am/was, then said goodbye to my Dad, came back.

Where I tried to reach into the cupboard to place the 3 sugars I had got from the services in, and managed to knock out a whole bottle of sloe gin, which broke into a million pieces went everywhere, I had to get some of their staff to help

Since Then

Since then I have been sort of coming to terms with my new enormous piece of work in my mouth. And hopefully my next visit to the dentist (040711) when she takes out 2 teeth I think that will be the last for now, it all seems under control ATM so hopefully

Wiv Ed

So first of all Ed took me shopping, I didn't take the recycling this week as we are in a hurry but we got all shopping that we needed, came home, put it away then set off to the dentists. There I had 3 injections .... she gave me the first, it still hurt, gave me the second it still hurt, then the 3rd which actually made my tooth numb, she gave me 3 injections, drilled as far down as Australia then filled my tooth up. She said there is only 5% of my tooth left now, 95% filling

And the injections have worn off now, just b4 dinner time, it feels OK, no pain or...

So I wasn't able to eat proper food or drink coffee at lunchtime. At about 2.00 I tried a cuppa tea which was at first dead difficult but by the end much easier and I ate a packet of sweets for lunch at about 3.00

...& At 'Em

So up by 8AM s'morning after I put my splint in and took tablets. My right foot is a bit achy s'morning but not three bad, so really dunno. It doesn't hurt now so.....
Marginally upset, dentist s'morning, my teeth are such a mess after my accident and then not cleaning then for about 3 years

Helen The NOT Hat

So Helen came into my room to do some stuff earlier. As I get confused I showed her the online pics of Helen The Hat, a traveller who I used to see occasionally when I lived at Happy Valley and while we were looking at some pages a tune come on by The Levellers who I used to own loadsa tapes by but I haven't thought about them in 8 years, I no longer can play tapes (even illegally copied ones), so I went online and bought 3 albums by them

Sunday Bl**dy Sunday

So I got up s'morning, after I sat on the edge of my bed and took my many tablets and put my splint on etc it was still just 8AM. Last night, or s'morning, I felt a pain in my right lower leg again, although it didn't wake me up but upon waking I wriggled a bit and it hurt.

Making Pic

And tonight I looked again and again to find the way of making many photos into one photo, do it in Irfanview, Images, Create Panoramic, then input both pics one above the other

A Lie In

So s'morning as my curtains were closed all night I slept in, or at least stayed in bed, 'til 9.30AM. Decadent

Better Ankle

So it seems that after it hurt a few days ago that my right ankle hasn't been hurting since, so dunno, it might be 'cos it is joining up again or maybe not, who know

Early Night

Good lord I feel now as if it is about 5 o'clock in't morning whereas it's only 11 o'clock, this getting up early is catching up with me now

L8R

Gosh, what a day. First of all I went to docs with Paul and apologised for forgetting my allergies and got some hay-fever med off him. When I was there I said I have just opened my last brown 'haler but as I am here as we speak can I have another.

Then we went to Boots to hand in our 'scripts and while I was waiting I bought some multivitamins. So the drawer by my bed is now looking a bit full, asthma med, hay fever tabs, and multi vits.

Then we came back here while Sara tested me and my balance etc.

More to the point she said "When you get wheezy it might be nerves not asthma, tell yourself to breath calmer and see it that works". So I tried it next time I got wheezy and blinkin' flip, it did work so more notes to tell the doc in a fortnight when we see him about Asthma

And again she said "Walk more indoors Neil"

6.00AM

When I went to bed last night I thought I closed the curtain. So A) Either I didn't, or B) Someone came into my flat when I was asleep and opened it again but didn't steal owt.

Ho hum, a busy day involving the doctor etc but loadsa time to have my breakfast now....

(Sort of) Jealous

So reading a story today about someone who was ill~er than me having an operation I probably wouldn't be willing to go thru but it set me thinking

Mañana

So first thing tomorrow I have to go to the Doctor and tell him I can't recall what I am allergic to so can he give me some hay-fever medicine, and I MAW get some inhaler 'scripts as I am there with a lift to Carmarthen, to a chemist.

Then Sara Daris, the Physio who is going to the gym with me next week, is coming in.
