Gym

Then we went off to gym which was as much fun as always but... I might not be able to attend my class tomorrow as I am seeing a doctor so...

I am going to see a doctor to tell him that I need that testosterone injection

Nail Cutter

And s'morning the nail cutter came in and accepted my praise for last time then spent a few seconds cutting my nails, it seemed so quick, then made another appointment and left

Zoom it seemed

Burry Port-ing

And we nipped out s'afternoon and I had an enormous walk in Burry Port. When we got furthest away from the car (across the river) I sat down in my wheelchair, didn't travel in it, when it was time to go back I stood up and walked

It was odd walking next to a fence tho, I wasn't holding on at all, just able to hover there and I was able to walk unaided when that was there

Real Spam

And I got a letter today, or two actually, telling me that stuff bought a couple of years ago might die etc.

More Reasons To Shop At....

So we nipped to Morrison's to pick up some milk s'morning. I stood up in the car park, walked right in round and back out. So Alex was pushing a wheelchair to carry the milk back on

Out

So we went out s'morning and picked up my 'script for more "rubbing on my tits" stuff. Although we will have to go to the Dr re that a few days into my 'script and he will possibly inject me then but we will have to give him the rest of the 'script as it is very saleable on the black market, apparently. I walked from the carpark, into the Drs, back out across the way and down the really steep bit to the chemist, sat in wheelchair while waiting for my 'script, then stood up, walked to the counter to get it, then back out, up the steep bit then back over carpark to my car

Then we nipped to gym, didn't do treadmill as I am walking so far but did 15 mins cycling then 3 weights exercises

Strange Poohing

So s'morning I sat on he loo. Sat down and leaned forward as usual and squeezed. And squeezed. And squeezed. No pooh. So I leaned back, sat upright which I almost never do on t'loo and poohed hugely.

Dunno what the issue was, why it worked like this, if you have a clue mail me and give me a clue, please

Ignoramus

Well on one incident today I couldn't even recognise common flowers so I think perhaps my ABI has had some strange effect on my memory

'Wimming

And Timmy arrived s'morning and said "Hooray, swimming today" so my "Trying to think of an excuse" has failed

And we went swimming again and it actually wasn't as bad as I expected. And I managed to dry my own back today, for the first time, towel in both hands and rub. AND I did 4 lengths today

Looking At...

Then tonight we went out looking at more houses. One was a definitely NO but the other was a definite possibility and we will contact the Estate Agent on Monday

Shopping 2, 3, 2

So we nipped to Morrisons and did my weeks shopping (which if it wasn't for the whiskey would cost about £6).

Then after we brought that home we went back out and bought more Persil and tooth cleaners (from a different, cheaper, shop). The Persil is even more concentrated than it was before, so use even less of it

And I walked all the way round Morrisons, until we had finished shopping, I wheelchaired to 'til then stood up again and walked back to the car

Learned

Yes, it's habit by now...

Got Up

And as I walked out of my bedroom s'morning I think we can say that Neil has learned to walk, I walked until I had my bath/nap, just gotta learn how to extend it

Dinner

& for dinner tonight I made my usual Saturday dinner of Roast Veg etc and it was nicer than I have managed before. It was neither raw or burned, it seems that 40 minutes on 220 followed by 20 mins at 200 (so we can cook the Linda McCartney sausages to accompany it<1>) was almost perfect for veg cut up like this

<1> 15 mins to cook, 5 mins beforehand to allow the oven to cool

Wales

And as we are in Wales today I can look out of the window and watch it rain

It has stopped raining now and while Ed cleaned inside the car I made some tea

Fredumpkins

Then Freya came over to see me, which was nice. We seemed to be in good form with each other although I left her alone for a bit to catch up on her coursework.

But cooking on a Friday?

Well in the oven tonight I had some sweet potato chips (cook for 35 minutes), some normal chips too (cook for 20 minutes), some Linda McCartney sausages for Gareth (cook 15 minutes) and 2 pizzas for me and Freya (cook 11 minutes). It was all delicious but what hassle putting it on, I was glad when the Pizzas went in and I could rest

Jeroo

Then we nipped into Gym for my class, gosh I can really see the difference, how much I am improving.

I am sick and tired of making the effort but the results are so worth it...

Aardvark-ing

And today I was wheelchaired to the door of Aardvark, as we didn't have time to walk, I parked outside and only came back when  had been everywhere and bought everything

Walking

I walked out of my bedroom again s'morning

Erm

And after my gym session my MOS said "You look fatigued" in a French accent.

So I wasn't sure if he meant "You look tired" or "You look like an obese homosexual" - "fatty-gay" is how I would spell his pronounciation
