Sam and Emma

Then Sam and Emma came over for an hour, oh they are so special and Sam is gonna come back on his own to be fed one night next week

Gym|Splint

Then today I was able to go back to gym with my splint and boots on. I said "No cycling, not much footwork" but it worked, I went But before as I was busy over lunchtime Paul said "It's a 2.30 start". It wasn't, I only had half an hour but I do feel better for it

Carmel

Before lunchtime we went to Carmel where I was taking pictures of litter etc. I haven't been for a few weeks as I was moving but I think I will do it once a month from now on

Wrong

So I got up s'morning, was having breakfast when I heard my MOS having a shower. Just NO, this is wrong. When I was a lot littler my mum used to make me bath every night. Fairy nuff, but it seems to have made my brain insist that for me evening is the washing time, not before you have had any breakfast

Better-ish

And the taking of my boot back off revealed just my foot, all is well, so booting to gym tomorrow

Dinner In A Bit

So in a bit I am gonna try making dinner. Tonight there will be fried stir fry veg, mixed into that a cheese sauce and pasta under it all. Here's hoping, it can't be very hard but I am nervous about preparing owt since my accident

AND WOW, it worked, it was f'ing delicious and there wasn't a single lump in the cheese sauce. Quantity wise, well, some milk, some butter, some cheese and nearly a big spoon of flour, but it worked.

So that is summat else that I have relearned how to cook, and it was easy. OK, not as easy as I would like but in the global scale, well easy

Shopping Again

I needed to go and buy more veg tonight but then Toby txted me earlier and said "Can you take me and buy food?" so together we went shopping

Right Foot

Gosh, my antibiotics are working. My right foot is now just about as thin as when I started and nearly as pale, just a little pinker, the redness has gone

And I have a check-up appointment with the doc s'morning and I don't think he will be worried etc

Well this afternoon I got someone to put my splint back on and it feels OK, so far. I am not gonna keep it on for ages but a few more hours then to gym tomorrow

Arm

And I noticed tonight how different my right wrist looks than the left, they were obviously too busy trying to save my mind to bother with a mere broken arm

Visitors

And this afternoon Julie came up with Ruth's son Athan in tow, not with Toby. Because Toby didn't feel very well s'morning, but he perked up and me and Timmy went and got him, and they all stayed for dinner, a curry with 2 of my chilli's from the garden my Trug added

Lot less swelling

And my foot still looks red but it is a lot less swollen now

Poorly Gym

So I went to gym s'morning but as I had no splint on I wouldn't stand ior walk so it was a bit.... but it went OK

And I think that my foot looks less swollen today so I might be weating my splint again by gym on Thursday

Eat

So Dicky got up before me s'morning and was just having a coffee to start his day, so while I was eating my breakfast I found some research into why he needed it too

Up

Well my foot seems better s'morning, still red(ish) but less red and less swollen since yesterday

(sent from my phone)

No 'Lympics

So tonight as there's no Olympics on I dunno what to do in the evening. I didn't used to be obsessed with 'telly but I might be now

Welcome Back Dicky

So Dicky came back today and showed me loads of pictures of his new tiny, hairy baby. Just AWWWWW.

Then Dicky took the advice that was given to Ed last night and took me to the Drs to show him my swollen foot, it has gone down a bit since last night and the Dr said "Come back on Wednesday"

Bye Bye Olympics

So I been sat at my PC for an hour with the Olympics playing in the background and I have been singing along to tunes I know from the 70's and 80's loads. So have they made it an old tunes night for parents like me to go a bit emotional??

"Life's a piece of sh*t, when you look at it" has just been playing

Hoo-flipping-ray

And my right foot swelled up today, so we nipped to A&E s'evening, they have given me Doxycycline antibiotics to start tonight but I have instructions to go to the Doctor tomorrow or the day after and get him to check if it is the right medication

ANOTHER Quiet Sunday

There we are, another quiet Sunday, Ed didn't get up for ages after I did, I s'pose if they paid me to be in bed I might do it more......

Sorry he was up, he was just working so hard in his room, didn't have breakfast 'til I was about

Tomorrow Dicky is back, his "just had a baby" leave is over but it makes me a bit emotional, I remember when Toby and Freya were born...

Processed Food

Tra, la, la.... they say eating processed food is bad, well tonight instead of making a dinner we had some veggie fingers and oven chips. It was the first night in 3 nights that I was able to put my shirt back on after my bath, it didn't need washing. Like yesterdays, like the day before's.... I hadn't spilt any forkfuls on it
