Big Walky

And because gym was full of kids doing some kind of swimming exhibition today me and SmallP went for a walk over the Pont King Morgan footbridge in Carmarthen. Then when we walked all the way to the other side we turned back and crossed it again. It was good exercise. SP pushed my wheelchair and I didn't sit in it until half way back when I sat down for 5 minutes, didn't move and got back on my feet and walked back to the car

Early Gym

It wasn't in my diary to go 'til later but as it' the summer holidays we went to gym over lunchtime today. I did 3 stretching/lifting exercises then my 20 mins on the bike. It is still difficult but definately easier than in the past

And once more we left the house with no wheelchair in't boot

And while I was there I bumped into Sam, yes, she's back. She commented on how much thinner I look today as opposed to the 2 months ago when she saw me last, she commented on "Where's your wheelchair?" and how cruel she was gonna be to me on Friday

Right Hand Again

I tried walking s'morning with my 'stick in my right hand but it proved impossible. Later, after Alex had fitted my FES I tried again and it was well possible. Dunno if it is the FES making a difference of whether I was just trying before I had woken up properly, I will see tomorrow.

But for now, in the house, I am walking with my walking stick in my right hand. My posture is better etc, it is just better

AND it seems to have improved my "walking more uprightly, not leaning over one way" when holding my stick in my left hand (see the pic of me holding it straight down), so......

Here we go....

Not Buying That

So it's on the market, possibly a bit too dear even for me, and an anti bungalow, so no ta, not this year

Wow

Just wow, what a session with the physio lady. First of all she has been working with me for 2 years and she said that my walking today was the best she has ever seen.

Then after a bit more walking practice she got me to start walking with my walking stick in my right hand. What a difference, I am more upright, better at walking (although much slower for now) just WOW, what progress. So she said "Practice this and I will see you in a fortnight"

AM

And it is a quiet morning today, then after lunch the Physio lady is coming to see me and no doubt.......

Out

So me&Paul went out tonight, to see how far away Kidwelly was.  Then we drove thru 3 town centers looking for an open shop to buy some ice cream which we found in the in Spar in Kidwelly, after looking elsewhere. And it was half melted anyway

Quiet Day

A quiet day. So s'morning Paul said "Supermarket today?" not knowing that we had to sneak in on Friday

Mended?

Well it's working in the kitchen now, I haven't been on my PC yet but...

And I have just (had a poo then) come into the living room and it all works, so shrug

Aargh

So on my  PC and the iPad in the kitchen my webspace has disappeared but on the iPad in my bedroom, it still works. Puzzled

Quiet

So nowt on today, a quiet day

Super-dooper-market

So while we were at the supermarket s'afternoon a chap came to try to deliver summat. I had asked them to leave it and they did. So my new blueberry protector is protecting them

Aardvark-ing

So s'morning is my biggest shop trip to Aardvark, followed by a gym class. Dunno if Sam is back this week or next but......

Well they sold me loadsa stuff, so ta to them. As we were advised by Timmy we park on the double yellow lines outside the shop, walk in, do my shopping and walk back to the car

Then just before lunch we had to go back to the "Last Samless" class at gym. I think that she hasn't seen me for 2.5 months she is going to be astonished at what I can do now. I was being a bit astonished myself since last weeks  class

And I had my FES fitted but didn't switch it on today

And then as I have to go to the supermarket to pick up some blueberries later (they had none in Aardvark s'morning) I figure I might as well do my whole weeks shop, I think I will be able to get stuff with a long enuf date

Gym (again)

So I went to gym and 20 minutes on the bike, it was well hot. But I noticed again that my knee isn't turning in, like it wasn't when Paul took a photo on Tuesday

And I didn't have my FES fitted, but we went without my 'chair and I walked in

Heat

So it was so hot last night that I took my trousers off before bed. But that only let out about 8 inches of leg between my boxer shorts and my sockings

Wonky Mind

And I woke up with my wonky memory s'morning and still remembered to walk into the living room first and take the iPad off charging and bring it into the kitchen

No Pissing Often

And I seem to be able to wait reasonable length of time between pisses, as I was in't 'wimming pool s'morning, so I am going for my nap now, piss first and wait and see

And it seems to have worked, no infection today

 

'Wimming

So me & Timmy went swimming s'morning and.... and.... it wasn't too bad.

There were plenty of kids there but not too many, although they did nick our floats

How To????

 

Out Again

And we went to look at another house tonight and I think I like it and wanna buy it. Hopefully Denyse can come and look at it when she is here on 31st and then put stuff in motion
