Ed-ding

Then Ed came in and has been catching up on paperwork and reading documents all day. At 8 o'clock tonight we were in Kidwelly picking up that Toby chap as a favour

(More) Walking

"And last night, for the first time in nearly 9 years, I got off my chair, walked to bed, slept, got up and walked out of the bedroom. No wheelchairs were involved at all!!!"

I did that, as of yesterday, s'morning, then today after all that I came back to my living room, sat down for a couple of minutes then stood up, walked into the bathroom, sat on the loo and did my business

Dinner Time

And after my nap and watching the rugby we went out to the hotel my parents are staying in and had a delicious dinner

We are back now awaiting some fun

Waverley

So my (wrinkly) parents came back round today. First of all I showed them the proof that I am loosing weight further and held my hand out until my father paid me more. We chatted for a bit then went to town. We looked all round the market etc then went and had a delicious lunch. Now they have gone off, I will nap then watch the rugby

Walking

And last night, for the first time in nearly 9 years, I got off my chair, walked to bed, slept, got up and walked out of the bedroom. No wheelchairs were involved at all!!!

Geetar

And when Sara was gripping my arm I happened to mention that I thought my arm was better enuf so I had been thinking of trying my guitar once more. She said "Try it now" so I did, it was still too difficult but a lot easier than last time I tried, so I have another hobby

ObAnd today someone else paid for my sandwiches today

What a Flippin Day

So Paul (the stranger) came round today. Firstly I had a visit from Sara the physio and she got stuck into my arm, hurting it but making it feel better too. She gave me a list of instructions verbally but I a have had such a shit afternoon since that I can't remember. Hopefully she will email me the instructions anyway over the next few days.

Then someone looked at my leg and said "It is too swollen, off to Drs". The Doctor said "No, looks ok but you need to have that checked in hospital"

So then I had to go to hospital, wait for ages to be seen, put up with him not being able to find a vein to take blood, then waiting even longer to see a Dr type. He said "Seems all OK, take these as a precaution, we will contact u and ask you for a scan to be really safe, so waiting

Then I was at last able to go with my folks and let them buy my dinner. They had to look after Freya earlier when I was stuck in the Drs......

Scared/Intimidated/No Problem

And tomorrow (well later today) Sara The Physio is coming to get stuck into freeing my right arm. Then my parents are coming to tell me what my Barrister said t'other day about my claim

Gym-ming

And Ed had his way and I went to the gym. I was trying to distract her but she paid attention. And said afterwards that I am getting so good at the exercises that we perhaps need to find summat else to do to make up my hour of exercises

Ed-ding

So Ed came into see me s'morning. We can't go off to t'shops etc as I am waiting for the Wheelchair Fixer to come....... I warned them at Gym on Tuesday that if he hasn't come by the time I am due to leave I am going nowhere

And good lord but he has been and fixed my 'chair. Ed seems to think that as he has been I should go to gym now....

And He Told Me

And on the way home from the pub tonight we had a strange conversation in't car about stuff I have forgotten in the last ten years or so. There was one that is timewise what I should remember but obviously for me to remember it at all was just NOOOOOO.....

&About

So tonight we went out to Stag & Pheasant pub in town where I was drinking strange cloudy cider which I actually rather enjoyed

Meeting

And Mum and Dad and my Big Sis and Denyse were all at a meeting with my barrister today, I have heard

"Omg the things we do 4 u meetin just over loads of things discussed but most important how much better u are and how that means that u need more money 4 ur own place & ur support workers so some of the experts have 2 write some more reports so guess wot no settlement as yet!! But things are definitely moving on so sorry I have no definite news but it was all very positive xx"

Sleep research

And in a story on't BBC today it talks about how this big sleep thing may well be a myth which I had thought for some time

Cooking

Then Sarah the OT came round. Spent ages talking about me being bored etc then we got stuck in and made some pancakes, even if we were a day too late.

They were delicious with caramel toffee and some lemon juice that Sarah brought with her, even if they were a day too late

Sleep Is For The Weak

Strange night, I didn't have time for a nap yesterday and I woke up sitting in my chair about midnight, went to bed and didn't sleep a lot after that. Ho hum.

So TimMY came round this morning, commented on how grumpy I looked but.....

Napless

And I didn't have time for a nap today and it f*cked up my night

Scary

And after lunch my financial rep came into see me. He talked loadsa "bollocks/stuff about my claim" and g*d knows, I hope he will sort my finances out

G*m

Well the g*m session went as well as can be expected today, I had loads to do but I did it

J*s*s

Gosh, well today I have an appointment at t'gym firstly then my sister & hubby are coming to see me, followed by Denyse then last of all is my new financial rep. They are coming to do useful stuff but it's a sign that my claim while not being paid yet is becoming nearly.....
