Pool

But first of all me and MM need to go to the swimming pool for my weekly session, not a class, just a session

And it went OK. I was a bit nervous as I felt strange in the pool last week but no issue today. First of all I did my 8 lengths, which I would have found too knackering even last week to do them all at one go but my fitness is increasing loads. MM said I looked much better, less red and panting when I finished it too which is good

Docs

And we have to go to the doctors s'afternoon and tell him that I am feeling lightheaded/dizzy when I get up/lie down too quickly

Right. Dr listened, took loadsa tests, took more tests, said "Erm...." and then basically told me I seem healthier than he has seen me, wait and see. get back in touch if it gets worse but just wait and see, he hopes it will get better by itself

Out For Dinner

And as Timmy said "Can we go out, please" we headed into Pizza Express and had a 3 course meal for next to nothing

Cheep Cheep

Noisy Birds again

Sunday bloody Sunday

Washing My Back

And when my MOS was creaming my back every day I had noticed that they needed to do more at the top LHS, the one part that I can't reach with either hand to wash. So a couple of days ago I re-started using the brush on a stick to clean it. And even though I have only done it twice so far I think Timmy had to do less creaming at the top LHS today

Lets Go Out

As it's a quiet Saturday, let's go for a walk. But it's raining like fsck, perhaps not

And on second thoughts someone is coming soon (18 deliveries away) to deliver new ankle weights, which required a signature

Only 14 away now.....

And it arrived when I was in bed, Timmy had to sign for it

Friday Night Dinner

So I had the usual Friday night dinner of na'an bread pizza and chips for tea, it was as delicious as last week. But as I have been "doing the dishes" all week I got stuck in, there was extra bowls etc from grating cheese and 2 oven plates but I just did it all. I even did it all, looked round to check and had to get the floor sweeper out to pick up some bits of detritus, but I did it all.

So I shouldn't pay my staff as much as I have taken over one of their rôles?

Classwards

And today I am heading to the only gym class I do every week

Well I did it. It was nearly as hard work as ever but I am slightly fitter than last week so it seemed a touch easier. MM did comment on how much easier it all looked but that was because I wasn't skiving

Nearly

And so last night I was trying to stand just on my right foot, balancing. I was trying to last for 10 seconds as I couldn't even manage 2 seconds last time I tried but I managed roughly 9 seconds this time, which is a big improvement

It Worked!!!!

And this morning my hand is more stretchable already, my fingers are stretching without bending over already

And I tried writing with my right hand, it is still difficult but only half as difficult as yesterday

I'm Off

And I'm off to bed early tonight as I had to have a too early nap today so I could be up and off to the Botox clinic so I am half asleep already

Neath

So here we are waiting in Neath/Port Talbot Hospital. Tra la la

Well that's done. After a bit more waiting they took me in and said "Hum" and "Ha" about my wrist then decided in the end to inject for just my wrist which is what I thought they had been asked to do, gord nose. So they had to stick some needles in and test that they were injecting into the right place and then they said "Excellent, tara". What they had injected me already?? Wow and it is dun. I've got a form that Sara has to fill in and send back next time I see her

Strange Day

So as usual on a Thursday morning it is nip to Iechyd Da to pick up my delivery of organic veg then to MoreReasonsToShopAt..... to fetch the rest of my shopping, then after lunch me&Timmy have to head miles east so I can have another Botox injection in my arm

Apparently loadsa women use Botox to hide their wrinkles but it is purely functional for me, I am so ugly there's no point in vanity to that extent

Reading Again

As I finished my Terry Pratchett novel I am sat outside trying to get into another new book

Aerobics, Aqua Style

So today we have to head over to Aqua Aerobics class to do loadsa exercises etc

"Oh what fun we had....." (noisy link)

And they signed me in etc but failed to tell me that she is off sick today and there is nobody to take the class. Which I found out after I got changed and in the pool. so we did various exercises then were the last to leave

Pratchettless

Lordy, I have just finished that Terry Pratchett novel I hav been reading and just loadsa positive stuff. I fscking loved it

Physio-ing

And we are off to see Sara the physio in a bit. Hopefully I have too many questions to ask her to do any fscking exercise but.......

No, she had me exercising. Walked from one end of the room and back with no 'stick, walking along while rocking my stick from side to side in front of me which I thought "WTF?" but it was actually really effective and my feet were moving better than usual.... And I did loadsa sitting down and standing back up but actually properly, not the one sided way I usually do so it was actually rather good

And she couldn't supply bigger ankle weights but did provide me with a link which I used s'evening to spend £20 from petty on new adjustable heavier weights

Noisy Birdies

Again, tweet tweet etc from my bathroom without even opening the window

Washing Up

And for the second night I did all the washing up. We may have a new routine.....

So when I told MM that I would have to pay him less now he said "So, that's the only reason you have done it", but I had to say "NO. It's a not very exciting therapeutic exercise......"
