Dinner

And I thought "Ah, take some curry out of the freezer for dinner tonight" but then I thought "Oh, it's Alex working tonight and he doesn't like my curry" so we had preprepared summat else for tea

At The Docs

So we headed for the Drs first thing. We parked over by the chemist and I walked from there to the Drs. I waited there for 5 mins, on my feet, while the queue went on, then I waited for another 5 minutes while she found my 'script, then another 5 minutes while she looked for another 'script for me. Despite having 3 items, ordered at the same time they were written two on one 'script and one on the second. Then I walked back out of the Drs and across and down to the chemist. I sat and waited for more 5 minutes then I walked back out to the car.

From there we drove to gym, again I walked in and this time up the stairs to the exercise room. I did 3 or 4 exercises, I suspect that it was the first time I have managed to do my full time on the hand bike, then walked back down the stairs and out

Odd Memory

As someone who suffered an ABI it occasionally takes my breath away what phrases I will use, appropriately, in conversation

Cuwwy

And we had my second portion of curry for tea tonight. We finished it off, it was delicious.

But I can't remember what else I usedta cook, apart from curry and lasagne

Wimming

And we are going off swimming in a bit....

And oh what fun we had. I immediately did 6 lengths then some exercises then 2 more, we were finished really quickly.

So we are going back to the aqua aerobics class on Wednesday......

Walkies

And today I left my stick behind and just walk to the loo without it

Nervous

And leaving my PC for how long last night... but it still works s'morning, so phew etc

Curry

And I have been standing in the kitchen cooking an enormous pot of curry all afternoon....... eat it soon

PC Crisis

And after my nap it had stopped working. At 8 pm I had been too stressed to read my novel and Alex fixed it in a way that he can't recall either, but it works now.

Fixed It

And that Timmy chap came in s'morning, leaving his wife and daughter in the car as they were on their way swimming, and fixed the Interweb in about 3 seconds. I had downloaded some Adblocker software* and it didn't agree with my 'puter at all

* Adblocker for Facebook apparently

And it is nearly bath & nap time and I haven't read any of my novel yet. That was just about all I could do....

Linda McTofu

Well for some weeks I have been doing hamstring exercises. I tell folk that I object to naming it after a kind of meat (as I am a vegetarian) and calling them instead my tofustrings. But today I thought 'Na' and instead called them my LindaMcCartneyStrings

More Reasons To Shop At..

So as Timmy is coming in in the morning to try and fix my Interweb connection me and Mark went shopping today

Internet Down

And my PC won't connect to the 'net tonight. All the other machines are still working, and they all use the same network, but my PC isn't

Gym

And we headed into gym class s'morning. It was as hard work as ever but as rewarding. As I am walking more without my 'stick I only used it for one loop of the room during the 1 hr class. The rest of the time I was walking (slower but) with no 'stick.

But Alex forgot to tell me to cycle for 10 mins afterwards, and as I am so lazy I didn't remind him myself

Playing Pool S'Morning

And I had a rare treat s'morning, I think it is getting easier as it kind of knows how well I can play

Fsck Every Susannah

So later on s'afternoon Timmy will have to re-fit that FES device onto my right leg and then I will be able to walk into Aardvark

Which I did and I was able to give them back my £20 freebie card which is full of stamps now

MegaCycle

And me and Timmy went to gym s'morning and I did a 10 km cycle. It was 2 minutes quicker than last week

Sara-ing

And Sara The Physio is coming in today at 1pm to check on how I am doing. She recommended the big plasters which are stretched to twice as big before being stuck behind my right knee every few days. I don't understand what's going on but they seem to have helped enormously

And she came in, was well impresses with my walking, said "We will have to practice walking without the stick", was suitably impressed when  I told her I walk around the kitchen like that most of the time and stuck some needles in my knee to acupuncture my leg which has helped, no matter how cynical you feel

Curry-ifying

Well I have just been stood on my feet and walking about (with no stick) for ages while I peeled, chopped, stirred, added stock, stirred again etc to make this weeks curry. In a while I will need to micro some rice to go with it but not yet.

So for now I am resting

Gymming

And I went to gym s'morning and did 3 exercise machines followed by 10 minutes on the foot trainer machine, the cross trainer. In the past the longest I have managed on that was 6.5 minutes so I am getting better

And my legs mega ache now, must be that machine

On the way there we had to call back into Diablo's to pay for last nights dinner, their cash card machine had died so many customers couldn't pay
