BoTox(2)

And MTTP, I had a piss, got in the car, drove for ages (OK, "was driven for ages"), sat in hospital, drove back for ages and got home more than 3 hours after we left.

Then I went to the loo for the next time

BoTox

So we got up early, headed eastwards at 9.30 s'morning, arrived in Neath at hospital, went in, eventually found where we were supposed to be, got on couch, she examined my hand/arm and my leg, called in a more senior doc then said "No injection for you, you are too well now, it will set you back"

So my disappointment about having made a pointless trip is torn with my pleasure that I am getting better

Jab

And I have to get up early tomorrow and head east early to Neath Hospital where I am having a BoTox injection

Nipped Shopwards

Then me and GGtGG nipped out to Farm Foods and Tesco's tonight. Some frozen chips and potato waffles from Farm Foods and as many packets of sweet potato oven chips as I could carry from Tesco. That and food waste bin bags are the only things I buy in Tesco's

Speaking

So I was watching a video that we took at the camera shop t'other day today, I speak to the expert and I was astonished at how abnormal my voice sounds. I mentioned it to my MOS and he commented on how much better my voice is now than it was last year

Hoo-flipping-ray

It Should Be Broken

So I was starting to prepare to make lunch. I pushed over the trolley with a mug and my coffee pot on it. As it went over the edge of the carpet my coffee pot wobbled and then tipped itself over the edge, it had fallen down.

So...

It fell off, and landed in my nearly full bin. It had an easy landing, I picked it back up, rinsed it out and used it again

Much relieved... 

Walkies

And as I have taken my FES off as I am nipping to the swimming pool in a bit but just now I was walking thru my house and my right foot is so much better even without FES. It still is even better with it on but it has made me relearn how to be so much better anyway.

I have to concentrate in placing my foot flat but not as much as I did last time I checked

But the swimming went well, I can't describe it but I am just much better at moving in the water etc. AND I didn't sit in the shower cripple seat, I used it, wałked beside it across changing room, showered standing and pushed it backwards too

Cleaning

And GGtGG got stuck in cleaning all my windows. (noisy link) It is amazing what a difference it makes, how grubby they have got in the last few weeks since he did it last

(Swear)ery

Then we nipped to gym as the going home time seemed to be crossed etc and I worked hard again. Today Alex said "Right bike now..." and I said "No, rowing boat device instead" which was nice, the first time I have just used it on my own as it were

Photo Training

And we (me and Alex) are off in a bit to have a "using digital camera" lesson

(And I have got to pay for it too....)

And we went off, walked in there and he told me loadsa stuff which I may or may not remember but it was good, he told me loadsa useful stuff

And Alex has just finished splitting the video he took of

the lesson into 6 separate parts, useful info there

Oh What Fun We Had

So at lunchtime me and Timmy headed for the swimming pool. We had a conference first along the lines of "Swimming day or exercising day?" so as we had a swimming day I swam 10 lengths on my back. He was going "More" but I had to be stroppy and leave.

Afterwards when we were showering and drying Timmy realised that he had forgotten my deodorant, so he lent me some of his, it was a spray. So I did my right armpit using my left hand and then came onto doing my left armpit using my "It's broken" right hand, but it just worked which made me smile

More Rugger

And it is Ireland playing England in an I think very important match for the competition this year

Noisy

So I got up at 6am for a pee s'morning and you should have heard the number of birds and how loudly they were singing

Rugger

And I watched two first halves and one second half of rugby matches, the 6 nations today. And tomorrow there is another game on

(And Wales won!!!)

Connector

And me and Ed had to nip to B&Q and buy summat small to connect the groovy hose that we bought last week to the other stuff that was in the box with the hose, the sprinkler etc

Samless

So we headed over to my once a week session in the gym class. Sam wasn't there to take it today, a chap called Gareth was standing in. He didn't half work us harder, I think in some ways he wasn't aware of our "can'ts" and just carried on. Because of this I had a session on the different bike they have in there and I actually managed. It was a struggle but I think I wouldn't have been capable a month age

-ing

So we are going off to Aardvark in a bit, walking upstairs there to get some stuff too

Excellent, done it, got most stuff. AND I walked back downstairs(1) too

(1) And my walking up and downstairs is getting better. According to GGtGG I walked up faster than he had ever seen and I walked back down keeping myself straight etc

In A Bit

And we are going out to have dinner out and a night out at Caffi Iechyd Da in Carmarthen for their monthly cwm-all-ye music nights

And a good time was had by all, although there weren't that many folk there. But we were drinking Organic Bitter beer, which pleased me

Washing Up

And I actually did the washing up after lunch. Because we are going out tonight so there was only a smaller amount and there is no "Where shall I put this?" crisis

'Wimming

And as Timmy announced this morning that we needed to swim today as we had missed 2 this week at lunchtime we went to the swimming pool. Out plan today was just swimming, no exercising, so by the end of the session I had done 10 lengths on my back.

I also felt colder in the water as I went swimming with no t-shirt on today as all the dreadful spots on my chest have cleared up. There are still a few on my back, apparently, but as I can't see them I dont care
