Samless

Then Sam txted me last night and said the gym class for today had to be canceled as there was no room at gym this week
I was nearly crying but I will have to bear with it until next week

Young And Very Beautiful

Then Sara Bailey who is now to he known as 'the young and beautiful lady' after I told her about Timmy's suggestion for a difference that she might be happier with than "the little old lady" which she had been known as, and she did all kinds of holding my throat while I was eating etc. It went well, I think she is satisfied with my progress

To Debenhams To Buy A Fat..... no, slimmer

Then we popped into the new Debenhams in town to buy another few pairs of smaller trews, we were allowed to use the changing room etc today and they had a bigger room that the 2 of us could work in

First Tings

So first things first s'morning we headed to the doctor's and got my 'scripts, more asthma inhaler, more cream for my chest and legs and lastly more bathing cream for my armpits. Phew, it was all on the chemist next door etc

Lordy

Then I was getting a bit fed up with the BT Yahoo mail server kind of looking on the webpage to see email but we couldn't think of any email progs that would work.

But then I thought of the new Windows 10 email client thats built into my PC


Just good lord, it works, it imported all the old emails I had etc, it let me set up the 2 other accounts that I have that I haven't been able to use for some months, just wow

Footwear Crisis

But when we were putting on my trainers to head to gym one of the tie it here bits came off, ruining them. We kind of tied it round the back and lasted through my cycle but then after lunch we headed down town and bought some new trainers. I have just been wearing them for 2 or 3 hours and they feel comfortable and useful, they bend in the right places etc

Bicycling Madness

So I went to gym and got on a bike. 10km I did, and again it was faster than ever. I wasn't going quite as fast as I used to do when I was doing the 30sec speed bursts but it wasn't that far down. I am so much fitter than I was a few months ago.

Middle Hotness

And the central heating had switched itself on s'morning which cheers me up slightly. It works, no input from me etc

More Reasons To Shop At......

Then we headed to Morrisons and did the shopping that was in the diary for tomorrow morning. There is no best before issues and my diary for tomorrow is a bit fuller than tonight
So tonight I thought "Shall I?", then I thought "No, I am knackered walking, don't know if I might have to shout 'Help' half way round" but it proved not to be an issue. I walked up and down, queued for 'til, walked back to the car. No issue was had

Poolwards

And we are off to Aqua Aerobics at 2.00pm this afternoon
And oh what fun we had. We are getting into a routine together where she knows what I can't manage and tells the rest to do summat and then talks to me about the alternative 

Right Handed

So s'morning I brushed the floor in the kitchen, just little bits of dust, not all of it, but I held the brush in my right hand to do the brushing

Yum yum

So we went out for dinner tonight as I had a bonus food stamp from Franky and Bennys but with all the delicious meal/excitement etc I forgot to give it to 'em, so next time we eat out it will be to there

Physioing

So we are off to see Sara Davis, the physio in a bit. In Bridgend, miles away
Wow. That was different from my previous visits. She was trying to make me take more weight on my right leg instead of leaning to the left and leaning on my walking stick. Then she did exercises where my left foot is on a balloon, even balancing when my hands are lifted off the supporting bar. Lastly she got me moving a strange balance pad under my feet, leaning left, leaning right, in the end moving it around 360 degrees
Advanced physio it is

Pool

So as it's the start of the week we (me & Timmy) headed to the swimming pool. First of all we did various exercises then we swam a length (well, there and back), afterwards I was nearly crying with exhaustion when Timmy said "You can wear your flipper for the next, I was just testing your general fitness". Arse, I had forgotten that I usually wear flippers, thats why.
But I did it, I managed

Nooneraft Out

The weather was so lovely today that we headed "out" and ended up in Llansteffan where there is a raised walk along the sea thingy and an ice cream shop. It was nice being out but even nicer to be reminded of just how mobile I can be.
Gareth did mention at one point that Sara is gonna want to take me for a walk along the sand at some point, which I made scared noises about the last time she mentioned it to me but I think that as my legs/feet are so much more mobile these days that I might give it a go sometime

Unfoggy

So the sun came out later and suddenly (within a  minute?) the fog had turned to sunshine today

Washy Machine

So I got up and changed the bed s'morning. It is currently washing half a house away. And I must say, it is much quieter than the old one. Suppose it is a lot less harmful in some way but it is not as noisy as a very noisy thing

On/Off Button

So I was going to put my washing on today, I got to the machine and all displays were out. I tried switching from one wash cycle to another, still nowt. I called GGtGG and he came, looked at it and said "On/off button here". Aargh, there was a separate "start the cycle" button which was the only one on my previous machine but it you press on/off on this machine it all comes to light

To Buy A Fat Pig

So we went off to Matalan s'morning and bought more small enough joggy bottoms, which weren't too dear (Phew)

Weekend Full Of Joy

Oh what fun we had. But what do I normally do on weekdays?
Just that rehabili-fscking-tation stuff
