Phew

Relief for some of us

Hooray

And we are nipping to the swimming pool in a bit......

And we did it, it went OK. Doing loads of stretchy exercises etc. I did try breaststroking a width as it was less scary than a length but no, still no

To Docs

So we had to go to the Drs to pick up my script for asthma medication today. I thought initially leave wheelchair behind but as GGtGG said "Pop to Wilko's too" I brought it. So I arrived at the Docs, walked in, got my script, walked to the chemist, got it and walked back to the car.

I was only in my 'chair when we were in Wilko buying some bleach

Buying

So I saw one of these so I felt obliged to purchase one of these

Gymless

So I couldn't be vulgar to Jane today. We drove straight past the gym, I said "Where we going?" and he (Alex) replied "We talked about taking a walk today, s'morning". Oh yes, I had agreed but forgotten, so we were out without my wheelchair etc.

We drove for about 25 minutes until we arrived at Saundersfoot. So I got out of the car and walked off. We walked around in a circle, along the beach walk then up through the car park and back along the street.

We were out of the car, walking, for 45 minutes. He said "Wanna sit here and rest?" twice but no, I stayed on my feet, walking for 3/4 of an hour

And Hooray For Getting Fit

And in an hour or so we are heading down to the swimming pool to swim

And breast stroke I just couldn't do it today

Quick Shop

Then s'morning me and GGtGGhad to head to a disabled persons shop by the railway station and pick up another cover for my in bath seat device

Out

So tonight we have ended up in Yr Hen Dderwen eating puddings and drinking hot chocolate

More Sara-cercises

And doing my hamstring exercises today I notice how much further I can lift up my leg, after 4 days of exercise

☺

Timmydé

So Timmy is here today and tomorrow. Before lunchtime today we need to head to Morrison's (noisy link) to buy some vegetables etc

Which we did, no problem etc

No, on reflection it's GGtGG tomorrow, sorry for being confusing

Squash For Tea

And the main ingredient in tonight's Roast Veg was Butternut Squash which I bought last week and prepared today. What a fscking performance. Ed had to help me cut it up, I tried and tried and just couldn't manage. It was delicious but I don't think I will cook it again. Well not soon

Sara-cercises

So today I did my Sara Exercises for IIRC the third time. And already my lifting up muscle has got stronger, it is easier already

After Lunch

Then today after lunch/during my lunch I decided to try and see if the news was a bit more cheerful. It was still all about the crisis but the news was a bit more positive, talking about how folk have been able to move to Austria, instead of saying "They're stuck" so it was the first piece of news that I was able to watch to the end since last Wednesday or Thursday

And Today

After yesterdays crisis the news today is still full of crises and dead babies etc

The News

And every time I have seen "the news" today it has been full of eastern crises, dunno, I can't watch it, it makes me wanna cry....

For Sara

And I had my first session of 'Doing what Sara told me' so I did loadsa exercises to make my right leg stronger at the back. So I lay down and GGtGG strapped the weight onto my ankle....

Gym-ing

So we went to Sam's Gym Class over lunchtime and just wow, how much am I still recovering years after my accident

Aardvark-ing

So we nipped to Aardvark and walked from car across the road and in. There I got everything on my list, no problem etc

And Paul was so impressed with my French carrier  bag that he took a pic of me holding it

All The Better.....

So yesterday as Sara was leaving I went outside to wave and saw my neighbour who called across "How r u? I know, all the better for seeing me!" and Sara said "You say that to someone else do you.....?"

Sara-ing

So Sara the physio came today and did loads of exercise walks etc. Without my stick, sometimes she held my right hand to keep me more upright and sometimes not.

Then she did some Acupuncture which I had to leave in my arm and leg while I drank a cuppa tea and had a piece of Timmy's Birthday Cake eating and drinking with my right hand, as I couldn't move the left

And then we did loads of exercises to improve ...(?)... my quadrupeds.  I had to lie face down on't bed, someone would attach a weight to my ankle then I would lift my leg backwards, bending my knee
