Early(ish) Bath

So I had an early(ish) bath <at the time I am supposed to every day> so we will be ready to head to The Cwtch about tea time

Which was a bit excellent if a bit muddy. Chappy soon realised that pulling me backwards, if a bit unsettling, made wheelchair progress possible

Lefty

So he has won the Labour party leader election

Confused Conference

So me and Alex had a conference about heading to The Cwtch. I thought it was starting early so there was gonna be all kinds of bath/nap issues but actually it will be s'evening before "proper" bands get on so we won't go til then

Friday Dinner

And what do I cook every Friday? AND tonight I cut the end off a red pepper so we had that too, pizza with onion, mushroom and red pepper. And garlic, with chips

And I experimented with using cling film to wrap the rest of the pepper tonight

Busy Day

So as well as my usual Friday busyness, Aardvark, gym class etc, today we have to nip down to the Dr's for a testosterone jab about nap time s'afternoon

Well we have done the Aardvarking, no problem. We were able to leave the wheelchair in the boot and walk in, it is still in't boot after we came home to put shopping away. In a bit it is off to gym, then lunch, nap, and testosterone jab in quick succession 

So we nipped to gym and again I am astonished at how much progress I am making. I am in bed for a nap but I didn't have time for a bath. Dr's. in an hour

And that was actually more scary than painful. She got me to stand up, took ages and ages to fill the syringe as the gloop is thick so I was becoming more unable to run away which I wanted to. She eventually stuck it in me and it hardly hurt at all. So PHEW

Out

So we went "out for the night" and drove around until it got dark, then we went into my local and had a couple of pints there. With no wheelchair, I just walked in etc

Sara-cising

And just wow. How much stronger is my hamstring after doing her exercises for half a week?

Gymming

So me and Timmy (who now weighs more than me BTW) went off gymwards and did some leg stretching exercises. We tried an AbCruncher machine but I really didn't get on with it.

After the exercises I did nearly 4.5km on the bike in 20 mins, my fitness is going up in nearly every respect

Fark, what's going on?

I thought I was doing well, walking 20 yards outside today but for many folk that is not far enough

Fetching

So s'morning I walked outside to get my food waste bin back into my possession. I walked out to get it, down and up the slight hill. No problem. A few weeks ago I would have done it but see it as a problem. A few months ago I would have headed out in my wheelchair and fetched it

I am getting better, sometimes it is hard to notice by how much but I am

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
