Pembroke

Then me and Paul drove past many beautiful places in Pembroke (inc where he lives) and it was all beautiful, too hilly but beautiful

We ate there too, so next week I need to start cooking again

Shopping

We went into town, drove past Aardvark in town, paniced a bit 'cos it is shut, hoped the other Health Food Shop wouldn't be, turned the last corner and it was the only open shop in sight. Phew. They had been empty all afternoon as town is shut for Easter but one of the health practitioners upstairs was still there so they had to stay open.

Washing

And Paul came in and said "You stink, need a shower". As I had a wash my arm pits and bits wash last night I was brave enough to actually have a shower.

Now it is.... (Shhh)

Well it wasn't as unpleasant as last time so I might...... I might even shower more regularly now I am getting better

Walkies

AGAIN, I am getting better.

Slowly but at all

Out

And then I had to beg Ed to take me out to dinner again as I feel like sh*t say in here ATM

Splinter

And we are off to Dacey's in a bit to get my splint fixed And what a performance that was. First of all we called in to the Sand Martin and waited for Denyse.

Eventually she txted me and said "Go ahead, order anyway, I will be there soon" so we did. And the veggie burger I had was possibly the nicest one I have eaten in about 15 years. She came in the end and expressed concern for me following my sisters death. She did give me a birthday card 4 next week, and told me that someone has applied for interim funding to get me moved out of here which is a bit exciting, we should hear in the next month or so

AND they did fix my splint

AND she did agree with me to actually send Ed home tonight, eventually, they are worried about me

More Walkies

And I managed walking to the kitchen then walking straight to the bathroom s'morning. It was difficult standing still for long enough to clean me teeth(1) but I managed

(1) I have a modern toothbrush with built in timer, then I need to floss then mouthwash

Big Pee

And I noticed tonight, after I had been sat listening to music for ages, that when I eventually went for a pee that it took ages. Obviously summat is improving

Good

And tonight they were excellent, playing a variety of new folks tunes

Docs

Then we went out to the Doctors, he gave me a fortnights supply of Antibiotics and another tube of cream for my feet, which he hjas now added as a repeat script

Then we nipped to Argos and bought a camp bed so if staff have to stay again they don't need to sleep on't floor

Sh*t

Then Denyse told me that Carolyn died s'morning. Dunno what to say....

Tim

Then Tim came in, followed by a knock on the door and it was Sam (my son) and his Girlyfriend Emma. We talked for a bit, he filled me in on some missing elements and agreed to write some notes for me.

Still Good

And I walked into kitchen then the bathroom again s'morning

Ding

Because my sister was rushed into hospital yesterday Ed came down to sleep on my living room floor last night, in case I was struggling

Shit

And Denyse came to tell me that my sister has had a Cerebral Aneurysm and is now unconscious in intensive care in Scotland. My parents are there already, my brothers are following but I couldn't bear it being amongst so many sad relatives etc so I am not going.

Just sh*t, sh*t, sh*t

GP

And we need to go back to t'GP today and try to find out why my left leg is swelling up, and get a repeat 'script for Diprobase

Change of plan, Denyse wants to come over to tell me summat "important" so GP will have to wait 'til tomorrow

Gymming

So today we had to go to t'gym, it was as much fun as it normally is, I did loadsa exercises and could really tell how much better that it is making me

Good Again

And because my bowels were behaving again s'morning I walked to the kitchen, did my washing up, walked back into the living room, poured my coffee still on-foot, walked to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and had a pooh, all with no wheelchair

Pub

Then tonight we went to Burry Port to the Folky Club and it was good, not as empty as last week

Denyse

Then I had an email off Denyse saying that her car is fixed and she want's to catch up on our missed session in Cardiff on Thursday when I am down at Dacey's
