WTF?

So I was glancing round a charity shop's web page and I found these, strange and useful (to the user) devices

What Fun

And we (me & GGtGG) are off to the swimming pool in a bit (noisy link)

And after my 8 lengths etc I got out, wheelchaired to the changing room, got changed, wheelchaired back out over slippy wetness etc then when I got out onto carpet I walked the rest of the way to the car. Gosh, it is still well difficult walking but it is so much easier than it was even last week

More About Walking

So last night I was walking to bed at about ten to twelve. As I was going I thought that while walking is still difficult etc it is easier than it was last week. Which is easier than it was the week before etc etc

No BB

And the broadband went down s'afternoon, I had my bath and nap, still down, went out shopping with Timmy (to Kwikfit) and luckily found it had come back when we came back. It was out for about 4-6 hours

Garage

Then after lunch we took the car to Kwik-Fit and they said yes, you need 1 tyre but come back later. So we are waiting

So we went back later, sat and waited for ages and they replaced it with a brutal, more hard wearing tyre as they had none of the cheap versions

Timming

So s'morning me and Timmy went to gym with one of new cards, ones made by Timmy, that tell me which machines to use this week. AND we started on a new machine this week, it's generally to smarten up my shoulders

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
