Pizza

But then, eventually, I made a couple of na'an bread pizze with chips for dinner. It was as nice as usual

Marginally Chaotic

So after she left I was pushed for time. So I went to bed with no bath, napped, got up and went to the Dr's about my armpits then came back and felt that I'd better have a bath today as my armpits are so wonky, so we did have a late but delicious dinner

Right. The Docs. So we explained, asked for stronger cream, she said "No, that is the strongest", suggested antibiotics, had a close look at my 'pits and after looking at he right one, the worst, she said "Yes, it is all infected, you need antibiotics" and gave me one I don't recall ever having before, it is obviously specialising in this kind of infection. But after looking at the instructions and looking online it is not a killer to have a few pints one night next week

Then

So we had a quiet morning then didn't go to class as the physio lady was coming to see me. She listened to my issues then tried a different position for the FES. We went off walked up the street to test it and walked back. She told Mike loadsa stuff that "the staff" need to know about positioning, then was really impressed with how my foot/leg position was so hopefully if I can repeat that... Then we took 3 or 4 photos which I will send to "the staff" later..... after my nap then after my trip to the Dr's about the rash in my armpits...

Out

So we are out for the night at Caffi Iechyd Da

And it was excellent. Took loadsa photos but it is too late to transfer them now, manyana

It's done today

Sudden Hail

And suddenly tonight it was suddenly hailing really hard for about 3 minutes. The sky was blue 10 mins ago and it is slightly raining now

More Docs

And Timmy phoned the Dr s'morning and was told to phone back to speak to her tomorrow so we can find out why my armpits are still swelling

Scared

And Timmy came in s'morning and talked about the tiler coming in next week and moving the fridge, washing machine etc

Aargh, and I had just been to pick up my weeks veg and we won't be eating here much......

Busy

And we have a relatively busy day today, pick up veg, go shopping, go to gym, take tablet, go out to Iechyd Da tonight......

And we gave done all the morning stuff now. Part of the exercise at gym just wouldn't work but as she is coming here to see me tomorrow, the physio, perhaps we will have an update

Walkies

Then before dinner I said "Lets go for a walk, so we drove to Carmarthen, parked up in the disabled bay at the beginning of Lammas St, headed off then up the hill to King Street, past Iechyd Da, from there along King St, down the side of the Court House back to the car. Exhausting walking up and downhill thus, but it is worth it. (In blue dots on this map)

Exhausted

So the AA class was renamed this week, it is now called Aqua Fitness. Dunno if it will last but... Anyway I did a session doing random tilty in the water rather than against the wall but I did it. And I was able to stand on my right foot and kick with the left more than last week so summat is helping me

Marginally Busy

And today I have an early lunch, then Denyse is coming here to discuss summat with me, then we are off for an Aqua Aerobics class

No, less busy now, Denyse phoned me at quarter past ten and said "As it wasn't a very important discussion we had planned and summat else more important has come up......" so she cried off today and is gonna email me with a substitute date soon. So just early lunch, take my tablet then go to Aqua Aerobics

Well an early lunch has been eaten....

And a tablet taken...

Dinner

And for dinner tonight Alex was crying when I said there was a pan of curry so instead we had baked spuds with grated cheese and beans. It was delicious but the curry in the fridge...?

Gymtastic

Then we went to gym and got stuck into various exercise machines etc. Today on the 'pedal by hand' machine I managed a full 10 minutes exercise, the longest I have managed in the past has been 6 of those minutes

Pick it up

Then s'morning we popped into the Doctors at the end of King St. and picked up my prescription, then I walked across and down to the chemist to have it made up

It seems like no time since this whole trip involved out of car, into wheelchair.... but for a couple of.... at a guess months, it has been walking

And we had to sit in the car for 5 minutes until the rain stopped at the first call, the sun was out by the time we finished in the chemist.

Quote From Ixion

And on the mailing list which eats up my life "someone" said about the do last weekend

>> It was good to see Neil the Hippy there sans wheelchair

And someone else replied

> Indeed it was, another mark of continuing recovery

Which was nice to read

Hail

And there was an outburst of hailstones s'morning. It's supposed to be becoming summer........

And an hour later the sun is bright from an almost cloudless blue sky.....

And 15 minutes later the sky looks grey and cloudy again......

10 minutes later it is nearly cloudless again...

(Not real photos, got them off the Interweb....)

And a few hours later this was the view from my bedroom window when I was settling down for my nap (real pic)

Ordered

So again I ordered my fruit and veg from CMOrganics which will be delivered to Iechyd Da on Thursday

Feck All On

Then after lunch I had nowt on to do. But I got stuck into cooking a big pan of curry which MM said was rather nice, not as burning as last time I cooked curry for him.

But then I realised that we had no more "microwave rice makes 2 portions" so we nipped to MoreReasonsToShopAt.... and while I was there I stocked up on Sweet Potato Oven Chips and some frozen protein

Sigh

So I am off to the 'wimming-pool in a bit with my part time trainer of disabled swimmers MOS so no doubt he will expect me to do loads etc

Well did it. It didn't hurt so much

And I did a whole breadth of the pool with no floating aids, I just swam it!!!! Which I haven't managed since my accident years ago

Out

So as I was bored we popped into town to a pub (as my local is shut on Sunday's and Mondays now, we found out when we drove there) and had a couple of pints

And earwigging this morning when Timmy was handing over to MM he was paranoid that I would fall over etc

But we parked a couple of hundred meters from the pub, I walked there without my 'chair and walked back without falling over etc
