All out

And tonight me and Alex went and got Freya, a few minutes after she came Paul came to replace Alex and all 5 of us went out and had a really nice meal and pudding in Con Passionata

Fatherless

So we had to go to't gym without my father as he was stuck here supervising 2 plumbers who had come to fix the hot water. As it wasn't warming up very well and a MOS looked in the manual and said "Oh, but this is too low", we phoned the landlord and he phoned the fixers. But I had to go to gym when they were here so my father stayed and watched over them etc

And when I came back, after lunch I was able to have a hot bath, awwwww

Today

So we nipped into gym today, me, Alex, and my mum. It was as hard work as ever but I am beginning to notice improvements, as usual it was blooming hard work but my mum commented on how I am improving.

We had to leave my father behind as there was a workman in the house

written on my BlackBerry 10 smartphone

Good lord, that was a bit chaotic. They were both really positive about seeing me as folk have been telling them how remarkable it is that I can even hold a conversation etc. So they are coming to new gym tomorrow  etc etc

And they were both rather positive about my Naan Pizzas that we had for tea 

Horse-brutality

So I have just been over to t'hospital and had some injections in my arm and leg (BoTox apparently) but now I am supposed to be napping as we will see my parents after we get back

And it will take a week before the injections work on me apparently....

I am becoming obsessed

Lordy, every minute of the last few days unless I was eating or otherwise busy was spent playing Solitaire.

Busy wiv Gareth

So there is nowt on my timetable for this morning but immediately after lunch me and Gareth and heading over to Neath Port Talbot hospital where I have an appointment.

After we come back my parents are here and I am cooking them food for tonight.

They are going to a hotel tonight then coming and staying here from tomorrow 'til Sunday

Tonight NOT Tomorrow

So I decided better go shopping tonight rather than tomorrow as a)I wanted stuff for my parents tea and b)I had run out of whiskey so I filled both

My Thyroid

And Denyse has just phoned to get the results of yesterdays Thyroid test and apparently it is clear - my Thyroid is functioning normally

And yes, we went into the Doctors and asked for a printed copy of the report to show to Sarah tomorrow

Team Meeting

Then Timmy didn't leave when AwesomeAlex arrived s'morning then within half an hour Denyse and the rest of the team have arrived and are currently "meeting" in my kitchen.

Dunno what they are talking about, it must be "me" in some direction

Busy Visit

So we (me and Timmy) went to the doctors and asked him about loada stuff.

First and foremost was the Thyroid Function Test which after talking about it he gave me a card to have blood texts done and then we will find out more. So Denyse will phone him for the results tomorrow

Apropos of nothing I had another brown inhaler off him

He also gave me some tablets to try and cut down on my cough, which did get a lot better when I switched to a new blue inhaler yesterday

Lastly he gave me a list of questions to fill in (tomorrow with Denyse too) about Sleep Apnea, which I may also be suffering from

Then last of all we nipped to the hospital where someone took my blood for the Thyroid test

New Socks - and I tried on my new pair of socks today to no avail

CouponDropDown

And big crisis.

An ad had placed itself/been placed on the front page of my Blog. I looked, tried to eliminate it, reset my PC and went for a bath.

It was still there.

A number of other procedures were followed, each with a restart until at last one worked. There is still a small band at the top of http://hippoin.blogspot.co.uk/ which says 'Ads by...' but there are no ads

Striving

So me and Gareth (a newbie, a bit settled in by now) are off in a bit to Monday's gym class

And it went well, even if I was coughing loads. But I have an appt with the Doctor tomorrow so I will mention my cough get some ventolin too

Bloody Sunday

Well, we nipped to superdoopermarket earlier, got all that was on my list.

After we came back I had a haircut as my haircut-worthy MOS is off for a bit after today

Dinner

And I made the usual Saturday night treat of scrambled eggs, beans and toast. I managed to make it all in the microwave tonight, unlike last week when for some reason I decided to try it in a sauicepan again and made it nearly uncleanable.

And tonight I said to Ed, "I might need some help buttering toast" but I managed the whole cooking part of it, the only help I required was lifting it

Little Old Lady

Then s'morning Sarah Bailey the speech and language therapist came to see me, 13 minutes before she told me last time she was due. We talked about how well I communicate in various situations and from that she worked out what we will talk about in a fortnight when I see her next.

It was quite good, she suggested coming back in a fortnight, I will be busy with my parents next week

Across The Universe

Then we nipped into Aardvark for the usual shop which went OK

Friday's Gymming

And we (a team) went to gym today and I nearly had to cry - no Sam today 

We did our usual extra work at Friday's class and I was exhausted by the end. One of the other students was in the lift back down with me and she commented on how much better I seem rather than 6 months ago

Panic ye not

So we are heading off to my PromotedClass in a bit, me, SmallPaul and AwesomeAlex as a dream team. Hopefully it will be good

Better this month

So Iechyd Da folk night seemed better this month, more attendance by musos etc, I actually enjoyed it from start to finish this month

And this peeing every 15 minutes thing is so in the past. We left here at 6 to go and fetch Freya and I didn't go to the loo from then 'til about 10.45
