Aargh

Then I was about to go to bed, suddenly my PC started behaving really strangely. Oh, malware was in, big style.

So I had to pay for a solution (noisy link), which took 'til well after bedtime, then miraculously my PC started behaving like itself again

And it does seem generally better today so I think paying was worth while

Surprise Shopping

Then today I thought I would look at the wound in my moses sandals, looked at it and thought "Wow, how have they lasted this long?" So we went to one shop, looked everywhere, no moses sandals. So we drove somewhere else, went into the first shop, looked everywhere, still to no avail. We were about to get back into the car when Edwina said "Lets try here!", went in and within one minute I was trying my new sandals on

No Pink Hair

Then s'morning Clair came to see me and talk about strategies for dealing with an ABI etc. She left me a copy of a leaflet and forgot the staffs copy so is gonna email it to them, so I can have a more accessible copy too

Still Runny

And I had 3 or 4 poohs last night and I am just about to have the second one s'morning, oh what fun this barium is

And I am paranoid now, every time I fart it feels just like my pooh did yesterday so I need to be sure I don't think there is any solid before releasing it

It's OK, I am dry now. Paranoid every time I need to fart but dry

Friday Feeling

Then, having had no time for a nap today we nipped to Aardvark and did my weeks shopping

Just back

Then we had just got back, I was sat at the table opening 2 parcels when the community physio lady arrived to discuss NHS cough assist tools but I don't think she thought I was suitable

Lunch

Then, as we took ages in hospital, we nipped to Pizza Hut and had lunch there which was nice but much to filling for me.

Petty cash had to buy that for us two

Sh*t, what a morning

So we headed off first thing to Singleton Hospital in Swansea where they did "Video Flouroscopy" which involved me being got into position sitting in a scary big camera device then I would eg sip juice which was laced with Barium (which doesn't taste very nice) then they were able to take x-ray movies of my swallowing. I had 3 drinks in various patterns then some pieces of peach with a hoppible goo on them and last of all a biscuit with loadsa goo on it too

Afterwards I was speaking to the Doctor x-rayer and she said I should actually stop doing the put your head forward to have a drink but do continue to do that to eat.

This is relatively rare, most people can eat drink but not eat, but I am, typically, the opposite

Lunch With Freya

Then Freya contacted me and said "If you aren't coming out to play can I come to yours for lunch instead?" and we nipped down to Saundersfoot with Gareth who had brought some sandwiches in for his lunch today so he sat outside the chippy while we went in. It was rather nice tho.....

Phlegm

And I coughed up another load of Phlegm s'morning and it seems not to be "infected colour" (green) and it seems to be white once more

Gonna Cricket

And me and Gareth just made a phone call(*) to someone from Glamorgan Cricket Club and made a booking so on Sunday 25/08/13 so we will go to Swansea and watch a 40 over match

(*) He contacted them then I had to give my credit card details to get the ticket. He will be free as my carer but I have to pay

Email on my phone

For a couple of days I have been trying to fix issues with email on my phone be fiddling about with my PC and setting email settings etc. It occurred to me tonight that no, it is my phone saying "Crisis on this account" because it is on my phone that the settings need resetting, not the email prog on my PC

Early Swap

Then because Paul has to take me to hospital really early in the morning on Friday when he is not supposed to come in 'til 10AM, when here is not on my diary for day before, so he is coming in tomorrow night so he can be up and at 'em early on Friday so Gareth, who is gonna lose half a shift then came in to start it early to make it fair

Oops

Then s'morning me and SmallPaul nipped into Morrison's to buy 2 or 3 things including large yorkshire puddings. We went over and over and gave up, nipped to Tesco's and asked someone there, yes, frozen she said, we had not looked in the freezer in Morrison's

Autumn Weather

Mmm, 100% grey cloud s'morning again and it is a bit cooler today. Still hotter than average but colder

written on my BlackBerry 10 smartphone

It's Fixed!!

And me and TechnoTimmy were at last able to, after a few erroneous attempts managed to get the video's on Neil Cooking page. We hummed and hawed attempting to upload videos then gave up, uploaded them all to Youtube and published the links at the bottom of my page.

So HOORAY etc

OT

And Sarah the OT came round later and by lord, didn't we make an excellent treat for Freya's birthday

Busy For Community

Then I went to Trysordy and did my bit for recycling.

And they did compliment me on my photos for the website which I took last week, which was nice

And in the audience today was a couple of kids, one of whom made a rather excellent model of Shaun The Sheep while I was watching

Summers Over

And there is 100% cloud over a much colder day s'morning.

Ooh, by the time I came out of Trysordy it was only 70% cloudy and much warmer

Fark, now it is 85% clear blue sky again

BLINKIN' FLIP, now 100% even tho they had terrible rain storms in Cardiff

Wot A Day

Oh I haven't been able to come to terms with today properly. This AM was mad and maddening and effective and made me feel good etc then the rest of the day at gym and clinic felt a bit odd in comparison
