Physio

So Sara the physio lady came round today. She looked at my feet at great length to see gord nose what but she did it. Then for ages she was speaking to Timmy but simultaneously watching me walk up and down the kitchen. Sometimes just me, sometimes me and FES, sometimes stick and no FES, sometimes with both. She did say she would contact the BoTox bods and ask for that in my arm and my leg, after we saw the bod on Tuesday who said yes, go ahead with leg if necessary.

Generally she was just really pleased at how well I can walk, balance etc

And when she commented on being married for 25 years I missed my chance, I was too busy to say "Since you were 7?"

Bath

And I have just has a bath. My first this week. On Mon I was swimming and showered, on Tues I was off seeing the vascular bod so there was no time, Wed I was swimming again and finally today I bathed

(Sigh)

And GGtGG remembered to bring his swimming trunx today...

Muslim Policeman

And they have buried one today...

Terry

And I have just started reading a Terry Pratchett novel, on my Kindle. I could read but I couldn't find anything that would take my imagination (as in keep me interested) so hopefully....

Symptom Of Getting Better

So I have just been and poohed. Now as my right hand doesn't work I just wipe with my left hand. So for some months/years my right hand didn't work at all so I just washed my left hand. Now I run both hands under the tap, soap and wash them both

And today I was sitting in the kitchen earlier, with my stick clipped in at the back of my chair. I stood up and knocked it to the floor. I thought "No need to shout 'Help' (how last month) or hold onto the back of my chair while I bend over (how last week)" so I just bend down with no contact on anything but the floor underfoot and pick it up

No Time

As I am going off after lunch to see a Vascular Specialist I don't have time to do anything else.

And Denyse has just phoned and said "(cough, cough)I am too poorly to attend(cough, cough)" so it looks like it will just be me and Timmy and his list of instructions that Denyse emailed him. So marginally sad, hope she feels better soon

And Oh What Fun We Had (noisy link) , so actually there was no point Denyse being there at all. He said "Yes, healthy" etc, not vascular, maybe dermatological (not certain). They are gonna get in touch again about Ultrasound of my legs

Kwik Fit

On the way back from the swimming pool s'morning SmallPaul said we need to blow up a tyre. Which we did, it was down to 12 psi after we blew it up last week so we had to head into Kwik Fit where they had to replace the tyre.  Not at my expense but Motability

Sheet

He has remembered to bring his swimming trunx s'morning...

What A Start

And I started playing solitaire s'evening. I moved one card to the next one etc, moved loads before I even had to draw one from the pack

The Heating

And earlier I thought "Bit chilly, is the heating on yet?", held my hand to a radiator and found it wasn't. Was vaguely nervous but decided to do summat else. Next time I was near a radiator I could feel the heat radiating from it.

Phew, it does all work as planned now.....

More Reasons To Shop At...

Then s'morning we headed out to Morrison's and got a weeks shopping

It was suggested to me that I walk again but I needed stuff from the whole store so I said naah today

And...

 I did beat it before I went for my pooh s'morning but it took me some time

Loo

And I got up in the night and walked to the loo for a p**. On the way back it occured to me, "I wouldn't have been capable of this a few months ago"

Which was a bit nice to be thinking along those lines...

Solitairing

So I was playing Solitaire, got stuck, asked it for a hint, it said "No, you've lost" I thoughtg "No, perhaps if I..." and won

Sometimes my 'puter isn't as clever as it thinks it is....

First Time This Year

And for the first time this year Ed was working today

A Quiet Day

So here we are but the roads all around are full of blown over trees etc. And we had it easy, it was really windy oop North and in Scotland, according to the news

Telly

So I had to switch off the news tonight. It was just full of "People have died..." and the whole lot was too upsetting.

Gym

So then I set off to gym. Again we left my wheelchair in the boot and walked in and up there. Again I worked hard.

I was commenting to Sam that eg my right foot wasn't doing movements properly but she said "Yes, but at least it is trying, not so long ago it couldn't do stuff at all"

Aardvark

So first of all we nipped to Aardvark. There were no parking spaces outside so we parked up the street in Wilko's back car park. I got out of the car and set off walking, all the way down the street, across the road then into Aardvark. I got my shopping and walked back to the car.

I came back and again walked everywhere to put it in various cupboards. So I was exhausted but in about 10 minutes it was time to head for gym
