Fruity

Mmmm, and my neighbour said to me t'other night "I am gonna make a cake for you at the weekend" and came round today with a large cake and handed it to me. Me and Dicky have just had a large slice each and it is a delicious fruitcake. And we had a big slice each, there is still ¾ of it left

Footwear

And as we were nipping out I put my splint on, when we came back I took it off again, as instructed by Sara

Waverley

So then we nipped into Argos and bought a heavy weight lifting bar,

then went and had a brew,

then went to Waverley Stores and did some more purchasing of organic food and drink

WOW

So Sara the physio came to see me s'morning, I said to her when she said "How are you?" that to most people who ask me that I would say "All the better for...." but with her I really mean it. We did some practice walking and she showed me how I am trying to walk and how I am when my brain gets lazy.

By the end she had me walking in my non-splintified right boot too, and at the end of the session we agreed that I will wear it indoors and only put my splint on when I am going outside. As I said "All the better...."

Right Hand

So today I used my right hand to put toothpaste on my toothbrush, the first time in more than 9 years

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

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
