Dinner

And for cooking tonight I left my wheelchair out of the kitchen and...... stood up 'til I had finished cooking.

I did not use my lean-on-me chair thingy

Anti

And tonight I took the last of my batch of antibiotics which seem to have worked, both my legs are betterer

Kindle-ing

And then I bought the Kindle edition of a book that made me think a bit about what was going on when I was a much smaller child

What Fun

And we are off in a bit to the swimming pool, hoo-flippin'-ray, what fun we have, he said sarcastically

Oh and wasn't it fun.

As this was the first week back after my infection we took it easy and swam a bit and walked a bit further etc etc

Not Scrambled Eggs

Then for dinner tonight I made toast, fried eggs and beans. It was delicious but fried eggs use way too much oil, I think scrambled or poached are better 4 u

Right, I got a bit paranoid talking about poached eggs but in the end bought a pair of Poachpods and a
Pod Lifter so hopefully next week we can eat delicious not so fattening eggs which haven't been too hard to prepare

Gym

And I was well enuf after my blood test to go to the Gym after lunch. My left leg seems much much better and I put on my shin pads and went cycling, at number 8 which I have never used before for 5 minutes.

I assume that as it all went so well today that next week it will be back to normal

Blood Test

And in half an hour I am going to the doctor's to be blood tested for diabetes for no apparent reason

And that wasn't as scary as I was scared. I said to her afterwards "Gosh, you must have a steady hand" and she commented on how many she had done.

ISTR another blood test 4-5 years ago and they couldn't get enuf out but there were no issues today

Walk To The Loo, My Darling

And s'morning as I was walking to the loo I remembered how relatively recent that is, being able to do so. Last year it was Wheelchairing To The Loo

(sent from my phone)

Leaner

And s'morning Denyse was able to measure me up etc for my new device that had been delivered yesterday, a special "lean on me to see the cooker" device which I haven't used yet but on testing it seems OK

Bye Parents

And they have gone away again at last. After taking me shopping s'morning and having a big conference with Denyse and Anthony

Off Out

And in a bit we are going to pick up Freya, then a few mins later we are picking up Toby then we are going out with my parents for tea

And it actually was excellent, I mostly kept quiet while the kids got on with their Granny&Granpa and Uncle Ian.

And Ian said goodbye to us all tonight, said tara as he is heading back to Scotland tomorrow but before he left he paid for the dinner me and my 2 kids and parents had just had

Betterer

Gosh, after 2 or 3 days of plaster etc my leg looks completely better

(sent from my phone)

Gym

And me and Paul went to gym with my parents watching. They commented on what a difference it has made to my upright posture, my shoulders. Apparently it was even worse a while ago

Deliverer

And a chap came s'morning with some bumph for me, a new unbroken push with your food on, a new better loo seat and a sort of half standing prop to lean on while I am cooking

And I sat on it and had a pooh, just WOW, it is so much better than before

Paypal

So at the start of the night I had to ask "How do I pay you?" then a couple of hours later I had remembered how to use Paypal and it had actually worked

Visitors

Well my parents and Ian, my BIL, came here for a visit, for tea. Now Ian has headed off to his hotel and my Mum is showering in the staff room, before going to bed here

Tra lah lah

Oh, I can't settle and do anything today, too nervous about my visitors later today

More Shopping

So s'morning we nipped out first of all to drop a letter at the doctors, then we nipped to ThatEvilTesco's shop to pick up some blueberries and a bigger saucepan. The biggest I had was just too medium sized and as I am cooking for 6 tonight it felt too small

Visitors

And tomorrow my parents are coming to visit and my sisters husband Ian is coming too although he is not staying here, as my parents are on Monday night

Busy

And for most of the rest of the day Paul cleaned up the garden. His fingers look f**ked now
