Watching Telly

So earlier I looked at a website to tell me what's on telly. It said most of a program about the Space Shuttle's final mission then on the same side MotoGP

And watching the MotoGP I was actually watching it as a fan, not some scared nutter. Even tho they did go a long way over going around corners

Reduce It

And today I had to take the top cushion off my "rest your foot up" thingie as I could use it with 2 cushions and just my sandals but as I am now well enough to put boots on it was too high

Visitor

And I did have an unusual visitor today as she has been on Guide Camp for a week and in 2 days is going to Dance Camp for another fortnight. As she was leaving I said "If you can't be good be careful". She said "Do you know what that means?", I said "No" and she said "Right, I'd better tell everyone that you told your 13 year old daughter if you are gonna have sex wear a condom"

Terry

So now I am mid read of a second proper grown up book. But for this one I am very glad that the author didn't go to school with me. If he had I would have felt obliged to say "Terry - you pratt! Shit!!"

Up

So I got up s'morning, had breakfast, went for a walk (twice up and down to next door) then went into the bathroom to have my weekly shave. While I was doing it I thought "Aha, Freya is coming today, she always complains about stubble"

Night Night

So here I am still up this evening. I should go to bed......

More Boots

So as wearing my boots seems OK today, I went outside and walked twice to number 4 and back. My right ankle doesn't feel all turning over like it did last week. So who knows, a few days rest might have cured me, I will know more when I take off my boots and socks at bedtime tonight

It is still retaining some water but doesn't look half as rough as it did t'other day

Bread

And I went to make a sandwich for lunch and the last of my bread has gone mouldy, it was the last, it is on my shopping list for monday. Panic a bit but decided to have cous cous for lunch today and tomorrow

Call

And that Freya phoned me up from her mothers house, she is back from Guide camp, but she will be away this week as well (these young people, tsk tsk tsk) and said "Can I come and see u tomorrow instead" so obviously that's a yes. And it's proof that despite her teenage girl stroppy-ness she does want to come here and see me!

Boots

And as my foot feels so much better today I tried putting my boots on. It feel OK, we shall see when it comes time to take my boot off this evening but it feels well now

Clear

So I went to the hospital for a scan s'morning and they found I was clear.

So when I stopped shouting "Hooray" it occurred to me, "What is causing swelling then?" but anyway at least it is not DVT

More Chaos

So today after my breakfast I was trying to keep me foot up etc. Then Ed came along with 6 Harry Potter films as DVD. So I sat up with my leg up and watched the first film. And it seemed like a new film to me, I had no memory of it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Then I made a lunch etc. So now I have got the other 5 HP films to watch before "someone" takes me to see the latest at the cinema.

Then this morning someone from the hospital that I thought was gonna be able to x-ray me next week phoned and said "Come along tomorrow", which is no problem. So I will have to take back 6 doses of drug that they left for me when they thought I was booked in for next week, and then hopefully we will know more.

This afternoon I think I will watch Harry Potter 2

What A Day More now

First of all Paul came round and we made conversation for an hour 'til the chiropractor came around and cut my toenails and talked about the nearly but not quite ingrowing one, she can treat it either way so wait and see. So she did my feet and sloped off. Me and Paul went out and had a delicious lunch.

Then when we were back at home Paul said "You emailed Denyse about your ankle hurting, lets take a look" He looked and said "Dunno, but it's bad enough that you need to see a doctor", phoned the surgery and made an appointment for later. I said "But you are s'posed to finish work before that and pick your son up from school" He ignored me and took me to the doctors. Doctor took one look and sent me straight to hospital, suspected DVT. Eventually we did stuff, injections at the hospital. She sounded surprised when my blood test results came in, didn't look like I was in the DVT watch out area. Anyway they won't know 'til I have a scan on Tuesday next week so they have given me loadsa anti DVT medicine and an appointment has been made for the district nurse to come out and inject me every day 'til Tuesday. So dunno, either I will need serious Thrombosis treatment or are back to the doctor saying "What's wrong with Neil?"

It was 7 o'clock before Paul finished taking care of me

And "they" phoned me this morning (Thursday) and we agreed to do my scan tomorrow, so less waiting etc

Reading

And this morning, while I was waiting, I finished the first proper grown up book I have read in more than eight years, the first

What a day

So I woke up and got up and looked out of the window this morning. Tum ti tum, nowt to do. Just after 12 Denyse and Ed and Paul came here after meeting to discuss how I was doing for a number of hours. Soon we started discussing holidays and who I would be able to see then etc.

They did discuss how unbelievably well I am getting on, which was nice

Me and Denyse agreed to take on a holiday cover MOS until they get the cash (which is coming, eventually) to take on another MOS full time.

After a couple of hours talking to them three Sarah the OT came here to do some cooking. We distracted her with the TRUG and she spent most of the afternoon taking me round garden centres where we bought a plant and some seeds. She is gonna bring another plant with her next week and hopefully some netting to stop the birds eating my Blueberries

Then I defrosted and heated some curry for tea, Sarah's ingredients are in the cupboard for next week

Pauly

So we went out to Folk Club at Burry Port where they recognised me and said "Hi" as we went in and it was excellent, didn't leave 'til 11pm and evidently my piss is getting loads better as I only needed two all night. For both of which I walked from where I was sitting, did my piss and walked back. Someone else who was there noticed and complimented me as I was leaving

As we were going in a chap said "Ah, the whiskey mac chap", they had got the ingredients on purpose

Biting

And I heard one of my neighbours being very angry today, then someone, dunno, perhaps it was his mum, came out of his flat and said to a passer by(1) "Why does he bite himself?"

(1) A MOS

Edding

So Ed came s'morning and took me out in the rain to Waverley then Morrisons to do my weeks shopping. I didn't need so much from Waverley today but I still bought Organic Veg

Now I am reasonably excited as I have to have an early dinner then go out to play with Paul

&AE

So I was up s'morning and eating breakfast before my alarm clock went off
