Sara-ing

And that Sara the physio came to see me, watched me walk up and down the kitchen without a walking stick and took me out for a long walk, without my wheelchair, just me walking

AND no FES, no boots (just my sandals), relearning-r-us, big style

Autumn/Winter

So the weather is so wintry today that currently, looking out of my kitchen window, I can't see any clouds. It is 100% blue sky, from one horizon to another

Walkies

So today I was walking about the kitchen without my 'stick and with no holding on. It is really slow but I can do it

Wed

So it's Wednesday Morning now.... (noisy link)

Gymming

And we got it right today, me and GGtGG went to gym at about 12 midday today and it was nearly empty, no one in the way etc. And I am just getting so much stronger, 4 machines then 20 mins on the bike and I comfortably passed 4km, 4.38 I think it said today, no rests until I had passed the 4km mark

Swimming

And we went and had as much fun as usual in't pool but it is just generally getting easier as I get better in so many ways.

And today I went into the poolroom in my wheelchair, steered it to the place 'they' usually push it to after I have got out by the pool, stood up and walked the dozen paces to the pool with no walking stick. And no socking, no footwear and no FES

It was scary, I wouldn't try it again until I am more better but I did it!!!

Rainless

And the sun is shining now. It is a bit colder than recently but 30% blue sky up there!!

Thick and scary clouds now (a few hours later), no rain yet but.....

First few drops as I turned away from my PC 5 minutes later.....

Thunderbolt and lightning

Is happening around here tonight.....

Walkies

And SmallPaul commented on how much better I am at just walking, no "I can't walk that far" etc now, I just got out of the car and did it. We walked into the hall of Morrisons where the recycle batteries tool is, I had got confused I didn't think the bulb recycling was round the back but it was, Paul expressed surprise that I just set off to walk that quarter of a mile and back

Learning Again

My right foot/right leg is relearning so much about how to walk, even I am so impressed

Reassuring

Well as it is now much colder my central heating passed the thermostat point and switched itself on last night. Which I do find comforting, it still works etc

Sun In My Eyes

And sitting here in my kitchen s'morning the sun is getting in my eyes terribly. It's the first of November, there aren't s'posed to be blue skies for a few months

Crisis

And GGtGG told me s'morning that HairCutterEd had txted him late last night and cried off working today but GGtGG said he will do it and swap next Sunday with HCE instead

And he did do my hair, I think it looks OK

Hallowe'en Collectors

And we had some 'trick or treat collectors' here today, we saw them coming so I answered the door with my hallowe'en mask on

Spicy Pizza

And tonight I am going to make pizza like I have every Friday for months but last week I crushed a clove of garlic to add but today the last of that bulb is 3 cloves all of which I shall use, and see it it is even nicer that last weeks

Abbreviation

So should my abbreviation for today's MOS be GGTGG or GGtGG?

Gym

And even after walking up the stairs in Aardvark we had loadsa time b4 gym. But wow etc, even from last week I can see the improvement. Last week I started moving my right knee half an inch forward when my right foot stepped forwards, already it is becoming second nature, if I think about it it doesn't work. Sam also commented on how much clearer my speech is now rather than when I starred the class(9)

And she said I was proof of 'Not Giving Up' what a difference it could make

(9) She said when I started she had to lean forward to listen to me. I said "I thought it was because she was being affectionate"

Aardvarking

So me and GeorgeousGarethTheGrumpyGit went into Aardvark to do the weeks shopping. When we arrived GGTGG said 'Coffee?' but first of all I walked up and down stairs to get some toothpaste. I walked up and down stairs with a left and right style all the way up and all the way back down. So we bought 75% of the weeks shopping in a local style

OMG

Wow. That was the fullest Iechyd Da I have ever seen, loads of folk, we had to sit by the door but we did get a good view

And I did meet the new owner, dunno what she will expect next month but....

Late Gym

And because we were busy today we had a late (5.30pm) going to the gym session. Which was fine but the exercise machines were full of after workers but we did get on a cycling machine and did an extra 5 mins rather than fighting for other machines
