OOOOOOOOHHHHH

So I have just stood up and walked to the loo for the first time since Ed put my cream in. He said "What do you want, splint....?" I said "No, just boots with no splint" and I have just been to the loo for the first time. I stood up and walked there carrying my 'stick in my right hand. My 'stick didn't touch the floor, I walked properly with no splint. Will I be able to do without my splint in a bit as my boots support my enough?

Walking

Good lord, I have been so exhausted that I stopped walking about 10 minutes ago, but good lord. It was easier today then yesterday which was easier than the day before etc. Today I was walking everywhere without my 'stick and I can feel the difference, more upright etc.

Just good lord, or even feck. Last week I saw myself as a not walking cripple, hah, by now my wheelchair is in use a minimum of time

Not Melting

And the house across the way that still had ice on the roof after lunchtime, has now got more shade and still has loadsa ice on it

Tobyless

And I just phoned Toby to see if we should pick him up and he is in England where he went to work and is well poorly. So no visitors tonight

Contrasting Day

So yesterday was go go go from start to finish whereas today is empty until we pick up Toby later for dinner

Dinner seems different, I was cooking more and more but since I started walking everywhere I am back to using ready meals - cooking is too difficult

Muesli

Well I remembered to soak it last night and I haven't choked since I started soaking

(sent from my phone)

Telly

And I was enjoying telly tonight, while sitting in my wheelchair so I could adjust all sorts of stuff I watched, on BBC1, Have I..., then later I was able to watch on my 'puter Never Mind...

Optician

And we made another appointment to see my optician in Carmarthen again, last time I saw him he said "We could improve your watching telly", I said "Never watch it" but I really noticed when I was trying to watch the snooker from my armchair last week

Headway

Then we went to Headway in Carmarthen, again I parked my wheelchair in the hall and walked in, to much avail. But we had forgotten that they serve food at meetings and left almost immediately, after we had got the date of the next meeting

More Shopping

So later today we nipped to Wilkinson's in Carmarthen to buy some stuff for the staff, files, bog roll etc

On My Own Two Feet

So we went to gym s'morning. We were a couple of minutes early so while we were waiting outside Smallpaul changed my boots to the lighter ones I am wearing in class. So when we opened the door I stood up, left my wheelchair outside and walked in unaided. So I did loads of hard work including 5 minutes on a bike with my resistance up to 10.

Afterwards we went shopping .Then we came back here I unpackked my shopping

Then we went back to the shop to get the salad that I had forgotten

Muesli-fying

And after staying up late to watch the snooker I headed for bed and just remembered at the last minute to "do" some muesli with milk to soak and put it in't fridge for tomorrow

Walk 2

Still walking, not on my wheelchair tonight

Dinner

And dinner tonight turned out to not be lasagne which I thought was there but some veg pies which were actually rather nice

Two Pounds

So I have lost two pounds this week, wait and see next weeks as I am so much more active now

Walking

So I am walking again today. It is easy. But I don't think that, I have to remind myself 24 hours a day, I can do it!!

Mouse Crisis

So my cordless mouse.... the one that arrived last week, that I had to contact the seller and say "No USB connector", which they had to send me another one of..... So last night me and Edwina plugged in the new USB connector, then Ed-case opened the mouse to fit batteries and in the battery section was a small USB connector.

Whoops

(Sigh) Up Again (/S)

Again with a different pic so u know it's different

Ease

I was a bit gob-smacked by how easy and straightforward walking on my own 2 feet was. I think I have forgotten.... I CAN manage, it's no big deal, I just do it

12 Hours

So I had 12 hours on my own 2 feet today, ignoring a temptation
