Rugger Bugger

And we are going up to t'pub tonight to watch the rugby. Here's hoping Wales do alright.....

Ooh, they won, big style. I think it was 27:6 in the end....

Gym-tastic

And I am off to the only class of the week in 5 mins.....

And we got there along with other clients from even further away and they said "Sorry, it's cancelled". They didn't contact us to tell us....

So then we nipped to Wilkinson's to get some envelopes for my team, there we left my 'chair in the boot and I walked in and around the shop. It was too far to be comfortable but as I was determined not to ask him to get my 'chair from the car I had to keep going. Which I did

...ing

And we went to Aardvark today, as the sun was shining I parked my 'chair outside and walked right in, uphill to the back room, paused standing up for ages 'til I had chosen veg, walked to the till, walked outside.

At no point did I ask Alex to go outside and fetch my 'chair

Early Gym Session

So because there was no Kwikfiting s'morning we nipped to gym where I managed 10 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes hand cycling despite wearing full on boots. Even tho I kept the FES switched off it is improving my ankle, movement and not turning over etc

Right Hand

So I went to't loo, took my fleece off and poohed. Then I washed both hands then put my left arm into my fleece first. I think my right arm must have. Been neglected for ages now...

You'll Never Get.....

So we are off taking the car to Kwikfit for some new tyres s'morning....

And we took it there, they said "Nah, still busy" so we had to make an appointment to go back this afternoon

And they delayed us (You'll never get quicker....) but in the end I just had to sign for my new tyres and it was done s'afternoon

Fear

Then s'afternoon me and Paul and Denyse headed over to see the doc about my diabetes. He was quite positive, saying my blood sugar was good etc and he thought if I continued eating well, loosing weight etc that I wouldn't need a pill for a number of years

Solitaire

Gosh, I just couldn't win a game last night, I had to play for hours before I finally won one and could go to bed. Much too late

Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Time

So I wanted to stick a Youtube link on my website with a "start at certain time" thingy overriding it, I put the link in and just knew what to do to set the time.

It seems simple but actually remembering more modern bits on the PC, bits I wouldn't have done before my accident...

Running Late

And because Sara was running late by the time I had had lunch, bathed and napped it was too close to 5 o'clock when gym gets way too busy to use

Big Walkies

Then we met Sara Davis in town, parked the car in Wilkinson's walked to Café Nero, stopped for a coffee then walked back to the car. I was accompanied by my wheelchair but at no time did I sit in it

First Time in 11 Years

So I have just been to the loo. I took off my fleece (eg) to go to the loo, went to the loo, washed both my hands together, then went to put my top back on, today I tried putting my left hand in first, then reached up and round with my right arm and put it on. It was a bit scruffy but it worked, the first time I haven't had to lead with my right hand in 11 years

And I have just done it twice again this afternoon.... so I have got to relearn, change a habit

Busy-ish Afternoon

So then we decided to go and buy a new frying pan today, as my old one is too wonky to sit flat on the cooker and has a plastic handle so you mustn't stick it in the oven like the recipe for dinner t'other night suggested. First of all we went to Wilkinsons, which was just shutting when we got there, then we tried Tesco's as they have loadsa stuff but no, couldn't find one, last of all we tried The Range where we found one, tidy and not too dear

Busy Morning

So busy morning part 1. After a phone call to confirm that it had arrived we had to head over to the chemist next to the Docs that we left the 'script in last week and pick up some more (not very kinky) stockings for me to wear in the afternoon/evening/to bed.

Part 2, then we nipped out to (More Reasons To Shop At) Morrisons and get the small amount of food I need for next week.

Part 3, then we nipped to the swimming pool where frankly I astonished Gareth with how mobile and up down the ladder I am etc and generally how much better my feet and legs are in the 2 or 3 weeks since he has been swimming with us

Briefly

Then I had just had my bath earlier and was sitting on my bed pre napping when I checked my phone for txt messages and there was one from Ruth, saying "Can I pop and see u now?" I txted her back and said "Napping" she replied "In an hour?" and came to see with her now 11 year old boyo. And it was lovely, she told me off some and said "Does your iPad do this?" which I didn't know that it did etc

New cooking

So today as an experiment we are cooking spaghetti, tomato and pesto frittatas,  basically a kind of omelette which Timmy suggested

And while reasonably nice it was much too much hassle for me to prepare it again. There were some aspects that I needed help for, I couldn't make it for someone, as a treat

Hairy

And it was pointed out to me today that some hairs are growing on my lower leg, so this Testo-whatever is working some

There haven't been any hairs there since my accident.....

Lunchtime Visitor

Then at 10.30 me and Gareth (Ed was starting work at 11 today) went to fetch Freya from her friends house, she came over here and was a bit rude to me and had lunch, well her brealfast but my lunch and then we dropped her home at 2.30

Thinner Still

And my legs are even thinner s'morning...

AND I lost another 3 lbs last week

Smallest Ever

And after wearing strange stockings for 3 nights my legs measured what IIRC was the smallest width ever since 'they' started measuring
