Sunday Dinner

And we had the Sunday Dinner (or the first third) tonight as Timmy was working yesterday. The onion was rotten but the rest of the veg was nice and I used a whole jar of curry paste, with 1 normal sized and 1 small tin toms

Horror

And we are going to Rocky Horror Show this Saturday......

.....Miller

And I am scared, I will have to walk out to the car and it is *so* windy that my walky stick is gonna try to blow away every time I lift of off the ground.....

I survived. And the swimming was OK, I did all the exercises they wanted, including having to insist that I did a 7th and 8th length swimming to get Timmy off my back. There was a mother & child in the big changing room but I just about managed in the smaller room. Although because of the confusion I forgot to take the sticky plasters off my leg and had to do it later which hurt more. Then Gareth had to flannel and soap my leg before I napped and he put on a new one

Different Walking

I have been trying for fscking ages to make my right toes come more upright when I am walking, to stop them dragging on the ground. But today I started walking just with my whole right foot lifted further off the ground. I wasn't sure so I asked Timmy to look at both my feet and knees as I walked and actually became more convinced that it was right even without his opinion, it just feels more even even tho I am having to work one side harder. And he said that it will soon become normal and not feel so strange

Rugger

And the Wales vs Ireland match is on in a bit....

And I missed the first 6 minutes as I was napping but as for the rest......

More Reasons To Shop At.....

And yes, we did it again, my weekly trip.....

Technology

You know how I have said that technology has gone mad since my accident?  ATM I am watching a program on BBC4 about Formula E electric race cars

Listening

So I have finally figured out how to listen to Test Match Special on my mobile phone so I can kind of have it on all day "in the background"

Weather

And we are back to traditional Welsh Weather s'morning....

UberWalking

So yesterday I "woke up" after my nap, got dressed etc, looked around and thought "WTF is my walky stick?", went for a pee and there it was, beside the bath. I had obviously walked from the bathroom to my bed without it

Walking

And I think to myself now "Oh lordy, gotta walk that" but then I try it and just manage it

Really

Is it really Friday today? Dunno why but it just doesn't feel like a Friday today

Hooray

And I will take my itchy armpit to the proper class @ gym later....

AND my armpit is no longer itchy once he put the fungal infection cream on it...

And what fun it was. It did make me think "Wow" as I was just able to walk over the up and down stairs device left/right, and right/left, alternate feet the whole way. Then I cycled after the class for 10 mins and I managed 2.5 km.

Veggie Now

And I really enjoyed the pints of Guinness that I drank tonight, oooh it was lovely and I haven't been able to drink it for years (noisy link)

Freebie

Then me and Timmy headed down to Farmfoods to spend the token they had given me as I complained that there were no more Creme Egg Lollies

Cycling

So s'morning we went to gym and got on a cycle machine. I did 5km then called it a day

Leg

And I have noticed recently that I sit down "normally" and that hurts my right knee a bit, just a bit. When I used to sit down I had to move my right foot out before I started to sit down but now I just sit down normally

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
