Wonky Camera

And I had to take any number of photo's of the walls etc to see that the camera wasn't making a hazy bit, like it had been doing earlier but I think these were caused by strange light rather than "summat wrong" with my camera

Walkies

So today I am practicing walking in't house without holding on, just walking a bit. Lordy but it is getting easier and easier all the time

But if it is still getting easier and easier it must have been so difficult at the start of the process

Gardening

Then l8r s'afternoon me and Alex popped out to check on our veg in the greenhouse. Just WOW etc, it has started

But when we were out we noticed that the cover of the trug had been blown off and it died rather. So GGtGG can get stuck into making summat tomorrow or we have to find one to buy

Thrown

It has thrown me this going to the docs before gym thingy. It doesn't "feel" like a Friday. Although I couldn't tell u what the difference is.....

Docs/Gym

Right, he looked at my 'pits, asked me a few questions and didn't seem worried, he just gave me a different cream to apply daily

Then, after picking up my 'script we headed to gym, where I got in there about 7 minutes after the class had started. Lots of people cheered and said "He has made it". It went well anyway, a hectic morning

But I can't help noticing. EG in the standy up and  balance exercise I was able to balance for a bit on my right foot. Summat I couldn't do for about 15 years. Yes, it pisses me off big style all this exercise malarkey but it is doing me so much good, in subtle ways, but by fark am I getting better

To The Docs

And me and Alex have to head over to the Doctors to see about my rashy armpits which looked as if they were healing then came up all red spotty yesterday

My appt is half an hour before gym class, wonder how long I can string it out?

Off Out in a few

And we are heading out to Caffi Iechyd Da for a come all ye Folk Night so relatively excited

And it was rather impressive, loadsa players etc, a good night

Gym

Then we headed to gym and I did so minutes on a walking machine, at 2km/h and 2 degrees uphill.

Then after we went there we headed to Morrisons where I bought the rest of my weeks shopping, then back home for a late lunch as Timmy was panicking about having too much on my diary for tonight, back to Iechyd Da for a folk night

...Pudding And Pie*

So today I have gotta go to Iechyd Da and pick up my first organic box from C&M Organics, they deliver it there then I pay them

*Orgy Porgy Pudding And Pie, can't remember where that came from but...... Aarg, recalling

Lordy, we were on the way there when I panicked, said "No, not Iechyd Da they must mean Waverley Stores" So we turned back, went to the other health food shop and asked for my delivery they said "What?". So we bought sum muesli there and tried Iechy Da again, yes, my veg box was waiting

Summer?

And I had to half close the curtain s'morning as it was shining sunlight into my eye when I was sat in the living room....

FESless

Then we headed into town, parked up, and I set off without my 'chair and without my FES on and we went for a walk that felt longer than it actually was

Slightly Better?

And I noticed today that when I had to take my shirt off to have some cream on that this used to really piss me off when I was wearing a shirt with buttons, it was too difficult and used to really p*ss me off, but nowadays as a) my hands have got stronger, more directable, b) my buttoning technique has improved, it doesn't p*ss me off so much nowadays, I just do it

Proper

And we need to just go to the pool today and do my normal exercises as Aqua Aerobics is off for a fortnight over the school holidays

Hooray

</sarcasm>

Rest Of The Day

And because Alex was so efficient s'morning we have nowt on for the rest of the day

No, we nipped out and I walked into my Docs alone as we left Alex ready to move the car if he had to to avoid paying for 2 hrs parking when we were only there for 3 minutes and I dropped off my piss sample

Sneaked To...

Then on the way home from the Docs we nipped into gym and I did my lifting exercises. Again it gob smacks me how much more capable I am now rather than a few weeks ago

To The Docs

And we are off to the Doctor's s'morning to have his opinion on how my diabetes is coming on. I am drinking a lot less than the last time I saw him so.........

Well when we got there she hadn't got my results (as they are having a major IT crisis) but she phoned the hospital and I could tell from her half of the conversation that it was good news. When she hung up she was really positive to me and said my blood sugar and cholesterol were as good as new.

Curry

And we had curry for dinner, that has been waiting in a saucepan since last nights dinner and it was equally delicious

ABBR

And I discovered how to hide things as abbreviations  in HTML s'afternoon so I was able to go back to a post of mine with an underscore and replace that with an abbreviation

Technicality

No Neil, spelling mistake then. Eating apple it is "bite", technologically it is "byte"

Yum yum

So as we are going to the 'wimming pool at about lunchtime I thought "Ah, snack" about 11AM s'morning. So I headed to the kitchen thinking of lovely treats etc that I could have but then I thought "No Neil, diet" and ate a fscking apple.

Which was OK but it gives me so much pleasure nowadays because I wasn't capable of eating an apple unless I took a knife to it and chopped it up for so long. Not nowadays, just big bite, big bite, big bite

And we went swimming s'morning. It was a "see how busy it is, we may have to go to gym" but no, it wasn't too busy. We did our exercises and at the end I did 6 lengths on the trot!!

It is getting easier as my right leg and my right arm become more obedient etc
