More Reasons To Shop At....

And we had to nip to Morrisons tonight, I had been sent a fiver voucher which I forgot to spens on two Monday's and it runs out of date on Friday so we had to get some emergency frozen food

Brain Injury

So I was watching telly, saw a ref to a program called My New Brain I thought watch that and it turns out it's a program about suffering a Brain Injury. It's a bit close for comfort but I am trying

Aargh, I watched the first 25 minutes, nearly crying/shouting etc and the rest (35 mins) is available on the iPlayer for the next week

Out For Lunch

Then s'morning Freya and Brian, Julia's Dad, came and took us out for lunch. It was a really nice lunch, at Freya's suggestion we headed to Iechyd Da which was actually really pleasant and we had a big lunch at Brian's expense.

It was a nice trip out and a catch up

Strangely we parked down well below the cafe on a dotted double yellow and I just got out of the car with no 'chair and walked there and back, up and downhill. I am still getting better 

Quick Trip Out

And we had to do a quick trip out s'morning to go to the Drs for my asthma 'script then walk across to the chemist to get it.

Today was the first time I have ever managed the steep downhill (and back up) to the chemist without holding onto any support columns on the way past. My balance is still improving

Nor Tomorrow

I thought to myself that Alex will still be working tomorrow so he can take me to the pool at 1pm.

But then I recalled "No, we r having lunch with Freya and her grandparents tomorrow" so we will be busy at 1pm

Swimming. Or Not

So we went to pool today but it was much too busy with loadsa kids in as it is the summer holidays. So we went to gym even tho I was not wearing my sock info or my FES. But just good lord, how much better is my right foot at keeping flat, I didn't even have to concentrate on it, it just happened automatically. Muscle memory is making me happy

We spoke to someone on the way out and she said the free kids swimming time ends as 1pm

And I was sitting on various machines today some of which are much lower that my chair and I still managed that standing up with no hands thing.

Out

So tonight we were bored so we nipped out to Saint Clears to The Little Chef and had a brew and bun

Quiet Sunday

Tra la la...

Out For A Drive Tonight

So tonight me and Alex were bored so we headed out in the car, drove all the way to Llandeilo (via my old house in Cwrt Henri) headed back to Carmarthen and took the traditional route back, the one that was replaced by a bypass a few years back

That Friday Feeling

So it's off to Aardvark in a bit to do most of my weeks shopping, then to gym for a proper class then........ lunch & rest

Well I did it, a larger than usual shop at Aardvark. It went well. Back home for long enuf to have a cuppa and sit by my PC for half an hour

Well I did go to Sam's class. As usual she was nagging me to get on but on some levels just WOW, on the kneeling down exercise I can now just do it etc. I am so much better at nearly all the exercises

Test Results

And Timmy made the phone call that Alex was too busy neglecting me to make on Tuesday (She said "Phone me on Tuesday or Thursday"), and my blood sugar levels are within the amounts that they are s'posed to be, so I am relatively well

Strange Diary

So we are going swimming today instead of yesterday.....

And what fun it was. Again I was *so* impressed with the muscle memory caused by the FES, but I did loads of exercises then 4 lengths on my back and 2 lengths breast stroke

And a little girl in the queue behind us said "Oh, you are him"

Brain Injury

I was eating breakfast s'morning, watching the news, suddenly they said how Brain Injuries have increased recently and how the inital NHS coverage is good but rehab is letting the side down

Gymming

And because the whole timetable is strange this week we went to gym instead of swimming. Again just good lord, I am so much better, fitter, stronger than I was even last week. Surely I will reach the end of this "Getting better" thingy, I hope not for a long time tho....

All Windows Again

Then the delivery chap came with the new window handle for the spare bedroom. So GGtGG got stuck in, "Ah, where's the screws?", erm...... turns out a different MoS had taken them off and put them in the toolbox in the kitchen, not to worry, it is all done

Muscle Memory

So I am walking in the house s'morning and it really impressed me, it is too early for the FES to be fitted and already my right foot is behaving itself - keeping flat

Lets hear it for muscle memory

New Mobile Search Engine

So I was thinking that the search engine on my mobile didn't present answers in a large enough to be legible format. As Timmy had suggested yesterday I started using Google once again but...... I really didn't want to. So after a bit of searching on the web I found out that Startpage (which I use on my PC) did actually have a mob version, which works just as well but makes it all legible

VBG, I don't want/need them selling the results of my searches to advertisers etc

Nested

So the birds that are nested over the front door whose eggs hatched last week are now all flying round outside, showing the kids the world. How much bigger and more able are they, a week ago they were newborn and today they can fly!!!

Busy-ish Morning

So s'morning we need to nip to Drs to pick up 2 'scripts then go across to the chemist to get my script then to the pool to go swimming

No, well we got most of the 'script but there is more cream to be collected tomorrow. Then, as we were in town, we nipped to Wilko and got more "wash my chest" cream which apparently I will just always need now

But just wow for how much better I am in the pool even than last week. So no FES fitted in the pool (obviously) but wow to how much the muscle memory is making my right foot stay flat etc. And also wow for how much better my right wrist is at just staying in proper position

Winner, winner,

Tofu Dinner....
