Snak

So tonight I tried one of the packets of snacks that aren't as fattening as you would think and are better for you on so many levels, according to MM anyway. They were nice and I felt reallly full afterwards, more filling that my usual sneaky evening eats

Busy Few Days

And Sara contacted me today and said "Can I come see you on Tuesday next week instead?" which I said "Yes" to but it means I am gonna have a very busy few days

What Card Is It?

With all the other cards visible what is that one at the top of the second row?

And We're Off

Then s'morning I have to go to my Doctors for another jab

Then s'afternoon to gym for a class etc

So first of all we went and got my jab. Golly it is so much easier these days. Park car, walk into Drs, sit down, stand up and walk into treatment room, bend over, take injection, walk out of room, walk out of Drs. It used to be get wheelchair out of car.......

Then when we were on the way back from that MM said "No gym class today" which I had forgotten so we went straight there and got stuck into various machines before lunch 

Loadsa Point Voting

Hooray after all our hassle to vote yesterday it turns out that a narrow majority of folk disagreed with me and "we" lost

To Hospital (2)

And I can really tell the difference. It was hard at first, it just felt different, wrong in some way but as the day went on I find myself walking easier, my right foot is a lot less likely to strike the floor on the way forward (although still sum) but I just noticed how many steps I was taking without my walking stick when cooking dinner. It seems easier so.....

Bladder

And I went for a pee b4 we left house s'morning and didn't pee again until after these 3 events. Oh lordy, I used to need the loo nearly every 15 minutes, this has changed big style

Veg

Then, still without going home we parked on King Street and walked down to Caffi Iechyd Da to pick up my veg which had been delivered there s'morning

Vote

Next we drove back to Carmarthen, drove to the kids old school, thought "?", and phoned the place we were heading for, the Electoral Registration Officer. They gave us proper directions so eventually we found them, went in, gave them my letter that I had been told to print last night on the phone and was given another voting card which I was able to fill in and hand it in.

What a performance, round and round we drove, after asking 3 passers by directions we eventually found it

To Hospital

And s'morning we are going to Morriston Hospital to see "the expert" about FES

So we drove for ages to get there thru morning traffic but we made it. Sat there for a few mins then the chap came to see us. He asked if I minded having a trainee sat in but I said "No, carry on". He looked at me walking, said that it was better than last year, and made some changes to the FES that I so don't understand. He switched it to a lower current but higher... summat else.

I did comment to the trainee that the NHS is so skint that my doctor couldn't even afford socks

Pub-inski

Then later (at MM's suggestion) we walked up the road to the pub. When I was there a regular bought me a pint which I did like. I was 2¾ of the way thru my beer when I finally needed to nip to the loo bit I was still watching (3 mins later) when ROI won the match

Peeing. I needed a piss about 2½ pints later than I used to and it just wouldn't finish. I was bored peeing and it just carried on coming out

Voting

So I phoned some election office tonight and told them my story. I had destroyed my postal vote form and wondered if I could just show up. They said "No, but come to the office tomorrow and pick your new election card up, you can take that to the poling station tomorrow". So I have had to type and print a letter saying "Please" and I will have to go tomorrow

Aqua Aerobics

And I went and did various up down exercises and lift/kick routines and just exausted myself in the pool.

When we got in all the disabled changing rooms were being used so I had to go by myself into a small normal cubicle and change myself but when we came out we did get the biggest 2 shower changing room. 

*BUT* I got changed and walked from the changing room to the pool. Pushing my chair but not sitting in it. This was the only time in the wek I was using my chair so potentia;;y there is a chairless week on the cards

Rain Rain

So it was drizzling s'morning. I looked out the window and thought "Greenhouse - for my lunch" and looked at the clouds. At about 11AM there was a pause in the rain (Dunno if it is a stop for the day or not) so I thought "Vitamin C doesn't break down that quickly" and went out and got the last of the lettuce from the greenhouse. Luckily there is being an organic veg delivery tomorrow and I have already requested a Salad Pack

And it hasn't rained since

Busyness

And after I thought I would be busy next week I actually looked at the week after. Lordy, well busy with medicine/therapy and a car service in the middle of it all

Death - Shaking Hands

Lordy. I have just finished my latest book, Terry Prarchett, Shaking Hands With Death and it felt a bit too close to my reality. It wasn't a usual Prachett he was talking about his disease and dying.

A bit close to the bone

Didn't Believe Me

So today I went into gym and cycled for 10km (confirmed by GGtGG) but when I put my device in the machine to say "Finished" it said "No, nowt on this"

First Thing

So immediately after brekky today I ordered this weeks organic food and veg which I will pick up from Caffi Iechyd Da on Thursday. After I have been to the hospital for a check up

Footy

Lordy, Wales are playing Russia tonight, 20 minutes into game and Wales are winning 2:0

Fark. 20 minutes to go and it is 3:0 for Wales

The best they have ever done. Ever

Clean Up

So I swept the kitchen floor tonight. I was holding the brush in my right hand and I swept the whole kitchen. All of it with my right hand. That is an improvement

And it hurt my wrist, was much more difficult than sweeping with my left hand but I managed
