Aardvarking

Then later we went to Aardvark for shopping where again I parked my 'chair and walked around the shop. We were a bit confused looking at the Tofu pieces etc 'cos Paul was with my and he has less of a clue than me. Possible we will be back tomorrow, me and Dicky, if he has more of a clue

Sianny

So Sian my social worker came around today for a meeting. After she had been hear for about ½ an hour Denyse phoned and said "Sorry, I forgot to cancel her" but I think the meeting went well, she was so impressed with how well I am getting on, walking etc

Breakfast

So I forgot to soak muesli last night but I seem to be eating it properly, no choking involved. So one can only assume that some of the DO THISes have sunk into my brain and become habitual

(sent from my phone)

Warm Rain

So it is raining this morning but it is about 10 degrees hotter than it has been for a few weeks

(sent from my phone)

Fredumpkins

So that Freya girly came round, it went OK, she was impressed with my walking AND she was impressed with having www access, her phone has broken

Opti-tricks

Then I went down to the optician today for all kinds of tests etc. He said "No can do" when I asked for some 70's style NHS frames "But these...." so I chose a set. They will paint over the right hand lens and today my skull and crossbones sticker arrived

Robin

And Ed was sat in his room with the window open and a robin flew in to join him

Witch and Wardrobe

So I have just been watching on BBC3 The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, gosh it was gripping but I had to turn off before I cried

No hot water in bathroom

So they had to refill the gas big bottle thingy s'afternoon which made my cooker work and the radiators work again. Ed was doing the washing up in hot water but when I tried to run a bath, no cold. There was summat obscure to do with buttons on the boiler but can't remember. So HELP if you have a clue

Sarah Jones OT

Came round and talked about loadsa stuff I need to be thinking about now I am at this stage of getting better

And Sarah said she stopped her car to see who kept phoning her and it was a copper telling her that someone had got the details of her debit card and was using it in the states at present. They know it's not her and will give her the cash back but they needed to stop the card and will send her another

Cold

So there was no hot water s'morning, so Ed's shower and my washing up were a bit trickier. I said "Panic" to Ed as all the lights were lit on the boiler. Then a few minutes ago 2 chaps knocked the door and said "Your gas is empty, we are coming down the street filling them up, stay in" so Ed had to phone the gym and we no longer need to panic

Now having to be patient....

And at last the heating works once more

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
