Dinner

And by dinner time I was in my wheelychair again but I had to stand up and stir it loads until the white sauce turned into white sauce. I added to it loadsa cheese and some precooked veg and it was a bit lovely, but for the cheese sauce it said "Grate a cupful of cheese" and I thought "No, save on washing up" and just grated some, but I couldn't see how much I had grated until I lifted the Grater out of the way, I had loadsa cheese tonight, but it tasted ok.

The veg contained loads pak choi which kind of disappeared by the time it was cooked but there you are

Gym and...

When I say taken to gym I actually meant taken to That Evil Tesco Place where I bought some digital scales which might be easier to use, then Gym. But they weigh about 8lbs heavier that my others....

But the gym didn't seem so..... I wasn't in the mood today...

More Walkies

And I woke up in a bedroom with no 'chair in it and walked out and to get my breakfast again

Then I had to put my splint on and be taken to gym, then take it off as soon as I came back. I wheelchaired thru preparation of lunch then got back on my feet for eating, clearing up and leaving the room

And I am walking to my bed for a nap etc now, my wheelychair can stay out here

Proper

And according to Ed who could see me today I was walking properly, more upright and moving my leg better etc

Dinner

Early s'afternoon Toby txted me and said "Can I come to yours and do some washing, and take me to the chippy too as I am hungry". In the end he came round for his weekly visit a day early and liked the food I gave him

Walking

So I am having a walking kind of day, I walked round the kitchen to make breakfast s'morning, and it made me wanna cry with stiff legs being difficult to walk etc but how else will I get better at walking? Just fscking do it, walk Neil......

And I am gonna walk to bed tonight too

Words Stuck

Then s'morning me and Timmy were puzzled we couldn't figure out what the next words were, "You took the words right out of my mouth..." but in the end this Interweb solved it

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...."
