My Door Wouldn't Lock

So as yesterday I wasn't able to lock my front door from the inside or the outside. So panic panic panic. So Timmy just generally hit it with a hammer and ever since the lock has worked

No news

There is nowt happening in the world today. All news men and women have become focussed on this, so there is nowt else important

Jim Jiminy...

...Jeroo (noisy link) So s'morning we are off to gym. Hoo-flipping-ray

And s'morning it went well, I took my wheelchair into the room because I am nervous if I can't see it, took my walky stick out and did not sit in my wheelchair until the class was finished

More Reasons To Shop At....

Then after lunch today we nipped to Morrison's and did the rest of the weeks shopping. (noisy link)

There was a bit of hassle with cheese flavoured baps for lunch time snacks but in the end we bought some, hopefully they will last longer than the 2 days date as there were 4 in a packet

Take Her Home

So then s'morning after she had a lie in for a couple of hours and then a play on my PC we took that Freya home again, to her Mum and StepDad's

Today

So we have had a quiet day today but Freya is coming to stay over later

And while dinner was cooking we watched Dr Who which was rather excellent

And when it was cooked, it was rather nice. Baked spuds, beans and falafel we had

And we had this novel dinner because all the "spuds pre cooked" come in portions of 2 and there were 3 of us tonight and I am trying not to make do with oven chips

Local

And we went out to my local pub last night.....

Aardvarkin

And as "someone" had fitted my Bioness I wore it to Aardvark. Perhaps that's why I spent so much this week...

QUIET morning

We have done f. all s'morning, still no Bioness so no change of chair. Paul has done some gardening with me watching and being in charge

And all afternoon I have been sat outside commenting on etc and watching SmallPaul gardening. On one level he hasn't done much but on another level he has made such a difference, it looks well better out the front

Posh

Well today I am sitting in a proper chair. My wheelchair feels abandoned across the room

And I can manage, stood up and walked to the loo, no prob etc etc

Happy chappie....

And I have been wheelchairing again since I bathed today but just WOW, I can manage the proper seat some and it will get more every day

Quiet

A quiet day today but I won't be using my stick holder as I am going to gym and will be exhausted afterwards. Tomorrow....

And I am trying out gym with no splint on today....

And just WOW. We took the splint in case I needed it, Ed was watching me the whole time and we didn't need it. I think we will do that "splint in pocket" thing again but it was well good without it

My right foot stayed almost completely straight, Bioness is working wonders

Stick Holder

This morning me and Timmy were discussing how my proper chair was harder to use because there was no way of holding my stick, so after much discussion we nipped into LTC Mobility and picked up a strange clip that lets me put my 'stick on the back of my PC chair out of the way

And just WOW, after lunch I sat on my PC chair and was still there at bathtime

Walk Into Shop

And as the shops are open again we need to go and buy some "non mayonaisey" salad and some focaccia with cheese, for my lunch and some potatoes to cook at dinner time

And I went into shop, looked for cheesy bread thingies (they had none of the same today), found summat else eventually, wallked to the other end of the shop, bought more, remembered that I had forgotten summat in the first aisle and walked the whole length of the shop again before paying and walking back to the car

With no splint on my right foot

No Shopping Today

As the shops are shut all day as it's some dead god chaps re-erection or summat

MORE Walkies

And because Morrisons will be shut tomorrow I went to get most of the rest of my shopping today, WITHOUT my wheelchair. I actually did much more walking than on our trip yesterday, and I will have to come back on Monday to buy some more "proper" salad, not this mayonaisey gunk I have been eating for months.

AND more to the point with no splint on my right foot, as my Bioness is working on my right leg

Walkies

And because we needed more salad(1) this morning we nipped to Morrison's. Got there, in thru the front door in my wheelchair, stood up and walked to all ends of the shop, walked back to the till and finally sat in my wheelchair then. The whole shopping trip done on my own two feet

(1) Proper green salad now, not the mayonaisey fattening stuff I have been eating for some months. So for lunch now I have a little green salad and 1 piece of toast, hopefully I will loose weight 

Out To Play

And tonight we are going to a monthly folk club at Iechyd Da (noisy link) with Freya who we are picking up after Spanish Extra Lessons at school later

AND Toby who is over here for half a week met up with us too, he seemsd happy and well. He is staying with his Mum for a few days which is good too

Sara

Then Sara the Physio came round this morning. I phoned her because she was late and she said "Sorry, at SPAR shop, buying chocolate" so....

She did loadsa stretching as my right arm isn't moving as well as it was last week, probable because of my cough. Also she phoned Daceys and tried to get some more electrical attachments posted out to me because I haven't got enough to last 'til I am back there. There was a discussion because if she does phone them they might realise that I have had the Bioness for a number of weeks for free

Cough Almost Gone

And by today my cough has nearly entirely gone. Every now and again I kind of clear my throat/half cough and loadsa phlegm comes up and out of the way

Blues

And we are going out tonight to a once in a while Blues night at The Tangled Parrot in Carmarthen

And it was good, Clive was there from the start, playing tunes and Naomi was there later which was nice

Right, we drove to there, parked in the car park at the end of King Street and I stood up and walked to The Parrot, not wheelchairing again until we were inside
