FESing

So we are off in a bit to the FES headquarters to let them know how well I am getting in and ask them WTF my boots don't work anymore and can we have loadsa new connections etc etc

So we walked in and sat in there for about an hour before being seen for 10 or 15 minutes but he was really positive. And impressed with how I am helping the FES too. So he gave us loadsa connectors and bits so now my boots work too. But as I really needed my boots before as my ankle is so much better I can walk as well in my trainers

And at the end the chap did actually say that if I continue getting so much better perhaps one day I can give them my FES back as I won't need it anymore. He was the first person to suggest such a thing which took my breath away

Barefoot as it were

And s'morning before I had me sockings changed or my FES fitted I walked out the front door to the road, got my foodwaste bin back and carried it to it's placement and then walked back indoors.

Gosh I am so much better at walking unaided than I used to be......

Gymless

And because we have to have an early lunch today before heading off to the FES clinic later we won't have time for gym today.

Woe is me....

Early To Rise

So last night I was awake and looked at my clock at 2.30, 3.30, 4.30 etc then next thing I new it was 9.30 and I was still in bed. Later it emerged that I had somehow switched my alarm clock to OFF, dunno how or why

Chairless Day

So first of all Gareth phoned the chemist, they said "Yes, it's in" so we went there to pick it up, with no wheelchair.

Then on the way back we went to have another look at the house that's on the list, today we saw that it was big enuf so asked Timmy to make an appointment with the estate agents. "Spoken to the agents, its got tenants ‎atm. They getting back to me"

Then we came back here and had some lunch and updated the photo's on my 'puter, then went to gym (where I was only on the bike for 12 minutes but did 3 km in that time), again with no chair.

So I haven't seen my chair since last night, I have walked everywhere today. Which feels nice but possible

And more to the point I had no FES on today but I can feel if my ankle is behaving and it was

Old Men Can Still Think Fast

He had a large pond in the back. It was properly shaped for swimming, so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, a barbecue and some apple and peach trees.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over.
He grabbed a twenty litre bucket to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.
As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.
He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.
One of the women shouted to him, 'we're not coming out until you leave!'
The old man frowned, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked.'
Holding the bucket up he said,
'I'm here to feed the crocodile...'

Some old men can still think fast.

Potential

And we went and had a first look at a house tonight (I found it on a website) and it seems rather nice area wise etc. Timmy is gonna phone then tomorrow and see where we go from here

Hard Work

So I went to Drs/Chemist with no wheelchair and got my scripts. But one of the items that I ordered first wasn't there so we phoned the Docs and had to go back again, still with no wheelchair. So then as it was getting late I said “Gym?“ so we went off there still walking. I did loads of upper limb exercise to feed off my BoTox injection then loadsa miles on the cycle as I now have a reputation to maintain

Proud Dad

So now Toby has been accepted at Uni, Sam is already there doing a masters, next year Freya might be there too so all 3 of my kids will be at University at once

So Pleased

After having my bath it still makes me grin big style to be able to dry my right leg with my right hand

Swimming

So we decided today that as the pool was so busy last week when we went swimming that I would just exercise in't gym. When we got there it was nearly empty.

In gym we tried to do exercises to wotk my upper arms as the BoTox that I had last week should be kickink in. On the lifting up exercise I was able to do 3 or 4 fully up with my right arm and TinyTimmy commented how he was having to help me lift it last time whereas he didn't help me at all today

More ebaying

Sorry, I have bought another two "witty" t shirts off ebay

Write Links From My Phone

And I am doing this so I can learn to do it from my phone too

That was all written from my phone, this is on my PC but that wasn't

Stories To My Phone

And I had a load of SciFi Short Stories that I downloaded onto my PC and I couldn't figure out how to get them onto my phone so I can listen away from PC. So Timmy came in today, said "You need to install......" and now it works, I transferred my 10 stories to my phone, it just worked

AND I transferred them wirelessly, didn't have to plug owt in, just pressed Transfer and it did

Slowly slowly catchy monkey

So s'morning I was walking with my 'stick in my right hand, thinking “This is so slow” but, as SmallPaul pointed out last night, it used to be really slow walking with my stick in the other hand too. Used to be

First Look

And we went 10 minutes away from Carmarthen and had a first look at a property and dunno, it might be too small but I won't know until Timmy phones them tomorrow and makes an appointment to look

Reach It

So today I confirmed that we have overcome one of the issues with my new car. When I put my seat right back (as we had to do on the old car) the bleeding "hand-rest" was in the way meaning I couldn't put the seatbelt on with my right hand, it necessitated a lean over and stick it in manoeuvre. But we moved the seat forward by 2 clicks and I can now reach the belt with my right hand

Warmer

And I noticed today that the central heating has switched itself off once again so it must be warmer today than it was yesterday

New Shopping Day

And me and Paul went and did my "new shopping day" at Morrison's s'morning. We only had 3 or 4 items to buy but I walked into, all around and back out, even tho I had no FES fitted on my right foot

Socks

And I tried to put some socks on today for the first time in months (usually my staff have to put on my Sockings first) and by gord but it is a lot easier now than it was last time I tried, I can now put both socks on without any help
