½ Man, ½ Bistcit

And looking for summat else I came across a 'Half Man, Half Biscuit' song and rather enjoyed it, there were links to loads more from the same page

Weight

Last night I was weighed again, Saturday night is my new routine. Timmy reckons, after looking twice that I am 8 pounds lighter than last week, so obviously last weeks reading was too high, I have lost some lbs both weeks

Timmy

And I have found a problem on my PC that Timmy can't fix!!!!

I Robot

And fark me, but I Robot (Asimov), my current read is getting a bit scary, all the robots know how rubbish humans are.....

Video's

And I got two videos today, eventually, one on me walking last week and one of me standing up to cook. But the one of walking shows me when I was failing to walk properly last week, I am trying so hard not to be like that and the video of me cooking is Rich being well shakey of hand

Aargh, Effort

And today I am doing really well, I haven't been in my wheelchair since I came out of the bedroom s'morning, but I am fscking sick of having to make such an effort. I had my injury so long ago, shouldn't I just get better now?? "No, Neil, struggle and make an effort to get better". Swear, swear, swear (Link fixed now)

Lunch

So today I walked into the kitchen, walked from kettle to cupboard etc, made my lunch, sat in a proper chair to have my lunch then walked back out of the kitchen afterwards.

Now I am going to walk into my bedroom, leaving the wheelychair where it is sitting beside my desk and going for a nap, I will walk back out later

Cooking dinner was so complex I got in my wheelychair but I stood up to cook food, then 'til about 8PM I walked everywhere

Cricket

And "someone" has suggested this morning that on the Interweb I go to http://cricfree.tv and there are about 12 sports channels there, you need to stit thru an ad for 30 seconds, click close, then watch eg the test match

Walkies

And when I was going to the loo I had to call Timmy and I had to ask him if I was walking upright properly and not leaning over like I used ta do and he said "Yes", so :)

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

(sent from my phone)

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
