Don't Walk Anywhere

And today, for a bit, I abandoned this chair with wheels thingie, completely. I was able to stand up by myself and walk to my wheeled device without holding on, afterwards

BETTER Walking

Good lord, today I was able to walk about 3 times as well, and as far, as I could yesterday, just not holding on with my left hand as I pass the sink etc, if I continue to get this much better this quickly I will be running up the road after totty within about 2 weeks

Bigger Walking

Well I started walking earlier today anyway and it is already later then the time I stopped walking yesterday but I am gonna carry on for a bit I need to practice, it is good for me

Walkies

So I woke up s'morning, walked to the bathroom without a splint, had a pee, went back to bed.

Later when I got up properly I was walking everywhere again.

When we nipped into town to get more petty cash out I was in my wheelchair, when we came back I ditched it again. Today I am walking alone or with my pushable aid

'Til after 3 today, that's 8 hours of walking

Happy Chappy in the extreme

Gosh it is lovely living here

Alarm Clock

So here I am sitting here eating my breakfast at what time o'clock? My alarm clock is no longer set as I dont have to be up by staff coming time so my "You can't get up yet" notification is switched off so whenever I wake up I get up

Bathies

And I had another bath tonight. Good lord, can I be this clean?? All went well, with my new bath rack stopping me having to stretch to put soap down etc. All went well until I let the water out, pressed up, got about half way up and stopped going. I had to shout "Help" until Ed came and fixed it, luckily he managed and didn't have to lift me out but the whole thing was unsettling

Walking

So this morning I got up and walked into the kitchen pushing my new pushable chair, then pushed it into dining room etc. After lunch I thought "Enough walking" and sat in my wheelchair for the first time today

But it feels wrong wheeling anywhere so obviously my brain in getting better which it a first step....

More Dongling

And today we had to go to another shop in town to buy another Dongle for them to connect laptop email etc, but this time we gave the chappie the postcode here and he said "Ah you want one of these, then" so we bought it and the connection on that is nearly twice as fast as my dongle so we swapped over as they need next to no interweb connection

Shopping

Then we nipped into town for some bits for them, a dongle to connect their email etc then it occurred to me. Organic Tomato Purée, to make pizzas. Waverley Stores don't sell 'em, Morrison's don't sell 'em, Tesco's don't sell 'em, Lidl don't sell 'em etc...... we had tried every shop for miles around, apart from Aardvark. So we went there, some difficulty getting in but we managed, I asked and she supplied me. Bother, I used to work there but it is not very wheelchair friendly, so I haven't been there for months, but we did it

My First Night

Gosh, so I slept for my first night in the real world last night...... It was a but strange but that's just because I have got used to being somewhere else.... It was cool

'Puter Chair

So today I was able to look at the chair which arrived 2 days ago at Lon Ty Cwm and we finally transported it here today and just wow, it is comfortable to sit in, slightly mobile/turning around when seated in, and walkable behind and pushable, it has a grip on the back and I think I may well walk more rather than 'chairing it now

Napping

I seem to have moved!!!

From An Establishment To The Real World

Today I am moving out of here to a proper (posh) house in a posh street.

Once a month folkism

Then tonight we went to the once a month folk club (noisy) in Carmarthen with an extra MOS shadow shifting and he enjoyed it

Unhectic Nooneraft

Then we hung about here, getting bored, no more moving to do, not going out on principle, just.....

At least Ixion is fixed once more. It went off-air yesterday coincidentally after I disconnected broadband to test my new Dongle, when we reconnected email and web worked but there was no Ixion coming thru....
