Intimidated

So tomorrow Sara the physio is meeting me and SmallPaul by the swimming pool and she is gonna teach me some new tricks while Timmy stands by the pool with the iPad videoing the whole experience so I can have no memory issues....

The Doctor

Gosh we watched a Dr Who tonight and it was as excellent as an excellent thing...

Saturday Nights Dinner

And because we had summat else last night tonight we had my usual Saturday night dinner of roasted veg etc and by gord it was as beautiful as ever, or more so

Improvement

And as I walked round to the recycling point today we noticed that even tho I didn't have any FES device fitted that my right foot has learned by itself to keep itself straight. I still need the FES sometimes but just wow being able to walk without it and 2 flat feet.....

AND I made some progress on walking later too....

Keen

And SmallPaul came into work 5 minutes early today as he is so keen....

Curry For Tea

And as Ed is here and I bought some extra ingredients yesterday (and last week) I was able to say "Do you want Linda McCartney and roast veg for dinner or curry?". So guess which I am preparing tonight

And it was actually rather nice. It said "Extra hot Vindaloo" on it and I could actually taste summat. It didn't taste extra hot but it was nice anyway...

Baldy

And Hair Cutter Ed is working today (I haven't seen him for ages) and my hair is cut once more

Pepper Grinder

So earlier that SmallPaul chap got stuck into trying to fix the pepper grinder on my table. First of all he replaced the batteries with non rechargeable (even tho they were freshly charged in there) this made it work a lot better then he discovered a screw under the top that had come loose and it is as fixed as a fixed thing now

Then Ed tried it again with rechargeable batteries and it works now SHRUG

Farm Foods

And we nipped out to Farm Foods for more oven chips, baking tatties etc. we were able to buy nearly half the shopping with the free card they sent me last week.

AND out of interest I was just about to purchase some packs of 2 baking tatties at £1.50 a packet but SmallPaul pointed out that the bigger packets of the same product were £2 for 4 as in £1 for 2 not £1.50, so I bought them instead

Gym Gym Jeroo

Then we headed to gym, which he hasn't been to for a couple of weeks. He really noticed how much better I am. As did Sam when, at Paul's request I got down on my hands and knees, leaning on a chair, and from there got all the way down and rolled over on my back {link fixed now}. (This she has never seen before [perhaps I was not able to do it])

From there the most difficult part of the operation was getting back up but again I managed that by myself

'Varking

So me and SmallP went off to Aardvark s'morning. We had to park up the street a bit so it is just as well that we had brought my 'chair, but we left it outside the shop. We walked in, walked up and down the stairs and all around the shop, to spend loads on myself

Getting Rid Of Him

So s'morning TinyTimmy is up and has moved his car early as SmallPaul is coming to take over at 9 then TT is going to return my device to t'hospital

He txted me later, they have been in contact and said "Still bad, keep an eye on him" so.....

Not Iechyd Da-ing

So today I was merely given a piece of equipment to wear tonight and instructions how to fit it but I still decided not to go to Iechyd Da as I didn't really nap s'afternoon as I was out getting my device

Inconvenient Time

And we have an appointment at the hospital in Llanelli at 3pm today, that's mid bath and nap time, dunno how to handle it.....

And Timmy came in, discussed the hospital later and decided that I shouldn't go to gym first. So when I stopped crying.....

Right, we went to the Cardio-respiratory(1) department. And they gave me a device to fit tonight when I am going to bed that notes how I am breathing and my pulse

(1) Not that I wanted to say "My heart was beating faster and I was breathing faster when I saw you" but I didn't have a chance

Walkies

So we went out tonight to have a couple of pints in the pub up the street, 'cos we wanted to see if they were open Christmas eve too, so we drove up and walked from the car into the pub

Walking

And we have booked a Christmas Eve Dinner with my kids....

Farter

So that's twice in two days now that I have thought “Extra pooh now“ gone to the loo, sat down then did the most enormous farts then not needed a pooh after all

Fixed

And after looking at the Interweb after I went to bed last night I must say that my new device is so much quicker that my mini-laptop which was there before

Drowning

And yes, we have drowning on my timetable s'morning...

And we went, I didn't drown, I was able to stand on just my right foot for 30 seconds (just once but I did it), I was able to do some hopping on my right foot that I havent managed for a number of years etc. But when we got out there was somebody in the big disabled changing room and the drain in the smaller one was broken so it was full of mucky water from next door.

But we managed, had an effective exercise session

But today, swimming on my back it feels much better/easier kicking with my right foot/leg

Strange (But busy [and productive]) Morning

Well, so s'morning TerribleTimmy took on board his role as a techno-geek. First of all we took down the broken telly and put it in my bedroom, where the iPad was. Then we nipped into the office and got my old PC and combined the two together

Then we drove to that SHHHH... Tesco's place and bought a new telly for my living room (cost only a hundred quid, I think it's not too dear, and it plays DVD's too) and some speakers so I can actually put music on my bedroom PC

Then we nipped to gym and did some exercises, then came home for lunch.

But we had to put the new telly in place and the

speakers in t'other room before I could stop and eat

Once More

Yes, it's white with frost again
