Put....

Your hand on your hip.... (/singing)

Not Gymming....

No, because we are going fscking swimming today....

Strange. So I got in the pool, did my exercises etc then we went and climbed in the jacuzzi. Which was supposed to be relaxing but was way too unsettling for that. Least said, it was very strange

Yes, but what do they expect?

Because he's a fscking Tory.....

Walkies

So all day I have been dreading cooking dinner tonight, it was my usual Sat dinner of roast veg &c and I just thought "More 2 feet-ing". So it came 'til tonight just before dinner time and I was walking about the kitchen cooking. That wasn't difficult at all, it was the easiest time on my feet that I have had today. As soon as dinner is eaten I am back to "not wanting to walk much"

It was strange, obviously having summat to do makes walking easier, but most of the time there is nowt so do-able.....

Senti

So me and GGtGG headed out to check he could find Ruth's house for Wednesday (We are both having dinner there) and then we headed back thru Cwrt Henri where I lived before opposite Ruth's.

Lordy, it was all a bit emotional for me, driving along roads I remember so strongly from my past that I haven't seen since my accident &c

Instructions

Lordy, so yesterdays MOS has got to tell today's "Neil needs this cream there and this cream there" then today's MOS has got to tell tomorrows etc &c

Head Exploding

No, it does my head in. Until a number of weeks ago I used to wheelchair on a Sunday to carry my bedding out to put it in the wash, now I carry it out on my own two feet

(And Denyse I remembered to put it on a hotter wash)

The Old Ones

And I am watching on YouTube an episode of The Young Ones. Fun

Baldy

And I said to Ed "Can u trim my hair?", he said "No, I'm back next week and it's not too long", but I said "You aren't here for 3 weeks", he checked and said "OK, trimming"

Weary

So I am a bit weary now. Thinking "Oh Lordy, I need to get up on my feet and walk to the loo". But it is still better than being in a wheelchair

Food

As Ed(weena) is working today and he really dislikes my usual Saturday food of roast veg I have had to cook the Sunday (and Monday and Tuesday...) dinner of curry tonight. It was fine, all went well, except that it takes loads more time than roasting veg.

But it's done now, got to think of some accompaniment.... 

Not Allergic

So today my nurse, Ed, agreed that I am probably not allergic to those plaster thingys, as I have had no reaction so far, so it will be OK to keep them on 'til Tuesday, which is a great relief to me

Aargh. Weeping now

And after taking those new big sticky plaster type balancers off my knee I think I am gonna cry it hurt so much

Gym

So I went to gym today and did various exercises recommended by Sam and it went well. She said "Can u get down? " but I managed it even with my wonky knee

Daing

And we went to Iechyd Da and had a good time

Washing Up

And I did the washing up after lunch as we are going out to Iechyd Da, to their Folk Night (noisy link) to have dinner tonight

Docs

So we had to nip to the Drs for an appointment today. Basically he gave me the same cream for my spotty chest and an anti fungal cream to put on my armpits, well a MOS will have to put it on, I can't see where it's supposed to go

Sticking Needles In Me

So Sara the Physio phoned me s'morning and said "Because you have this issue with your leg, shall I come round to see u instead of meeting u at the gym?". So she came round, gave me some Kinesiology Tape (and ordered much more) and stuck some needles and pins in my leg

Sigh

Oh me and Timmy are going off swimming again...

Tho the last couple of times we have been I have been able to fit my own "training flippers" by myself, again an improvement

And it went as well as can be expected. I did various "Improve your hamstring" exercises and 6 lengths. Timmy did comment on how much quicker I am swimming since I got my right foot to work too

Walkies

Yes, it feels OK, this walking stuff, I am back to doing it.....
