Consti.....

So I went to the loo after breakfast same as usual to have my pooh of the day. Squeezed, squeezed and squeezed. Could only do about 25% of my pooh. It still felt like it was in there so I went back to the loo about 11 to try again. Again squeezed and squeezed. This time I did about the second 25%. So all day I felt that the business hadn't been finished but no pressure to try again. Then after 8 this evening I went and tried again, just half squeezed and the last half of my pooh came straight out. Phew.

Now I am waiting in excitement for tomorrow mornings attempt.....

Deep Sigh

So we went to gym s'morning and I said I thought my neck was well enuf to try some arm exercises and it was, we were up to full strength required etc, so back to normal. The only issue I had was with the machine to finish on. I couldn't do treadmill, my arse is too sore for bike but in the end we got on a pedal by hand machine which was OK. I only did 5 minutes but I think that was enough for today

Duh

So my phone rang s'morning, it was a woman from the toe chopper clinic confirming that my appointment is at 11.30 tomorrow. After she hung up I panicked and thought "It sez Wednesday for the appt in my diary", phoned them back and told them they had phoned, said "See u tomorrow" but I thought the appointment was on Wednesday.

She took a deep breath and said "Tomorrow is Wednesday"

Oh yes......

More UberWalkies

So then after an early lunch we headed east to Aberafon, near Port Talbot. Which was miles away (it took ages to get there and back) but I was able to walk one way on the walk behind the wall above the beach and in the other direction actually along the beach. Which was a bit scary but obviously possible

And it rained all the way from home to Aberafon, stopped raining while we walked about the place, then started raining 5 mins after we were back in the car

To The Docs

Then me and MM had to head into the Doctors and leave in my 'script request as their online version is being updated. Which I then discussed, they took my other form, gave me a print out with details of how to enrol etc. Then I came home and enrolled. So I am in it now, just all the previous 'scripts are missing, but I will fill it in as I need it

New Car

And the chap just phoned me and told me to pick up my new car in a fortnight, it will be ready

Computer Programming

Bob

And tonight after I went to bed I am listening to a Bob Monkhouse last ever show and it surprisingly excellent. A smidge smutty but excellent. In fact it is so good that I am not going to sleep until it is finished

Back Out

Then I remembered that I was supposed to nip to the cash machine today to fetch some cash as I spent loads last night when we were out for dinner so we popped into town, parked ½ way along King St and walked from one end to t'other and back, 2 full lengths even tho we were parked half way along. (As in we passed the car on the way to the other end, passed it) So in process we popped to cash machine and looked at every charity shop window but they were all shut

Broken Feeling Better

So when Timmy came into my room to do my Hamstring Exercises I asked him about my extra pillow, saying it felt uncomfortable sometimes. He said 'That was put on when you were 5.5 stone heavier, you might not need it anymore' which cheered me up no-end.

After he left I was undressing for my bath, I moved the extra pillow over to the other side of the bed, and knocked down my bedside lamp from the table. I picked it up and the bulb had fallen out, so 'Timmy' once more

Home On....

So s'morning we popped out for a walk round town but it was drizzling so instead we went to The Range and had a good look round at their millions of "home accessories"

Still Recovering

And today for the first time since last Saturday morning my neck doesn't hurt, I can turn my head fully right and left

And s'morning I walked into the bathroom, put my 'stick by the door and was able to walk the 3 steps to t'loo without holding on, again for the first time in a week

Off Out

And we are popping out in a bit to fetch that Sturit chap and going out for a meal.

Which will be nice, he was one of my closest friends before my accident

Ooh, It was nice. So we had a starter, main course and pudding each, which was nice if a bit fattening

Cream, bottom

So "someone" recommended a cream to make my coccyx hurt less so Mark had the fun job of rubbing it on s'afternoon. Wait and see....

Better In Bed

And in bed s'afternoon I can lie on my right side again, for the first time in a week

Class

So I had a class at gym s'afternoon and it wasn't as difficult and stressful as I thought. Apart from my go on the exercise bike. Oh I stayed on there for about 7 seconds before my coccyx was screaming

Lightning

And night before last (IIRC) there was lightning happening during a rainshower

And Bad Jokes.

Three dead bodies turn up at a city mortuary all with very big smiles on

their faces. The Coroner thought he should inform the Police to tell them

what has happened. 'First body: Pierre Dubois, Millionaire French

Businessman, 60 years old, died of a heart attack while shagging his

20-year old porn star girlfriend. Hence the enormous smile said the Coroner

to the Police Inspector. 'Second body: Hamish McTavish, Scottish, 25 year

old, won £100,000 on the lottery. Spent it all on whisky and died of

alcohol poisoning, hence the smile.' The Inspector asked, 'What about the

third body?' 'Ah,' said the Coroner, 'this is a most unusual one. Paddy

Murphy, Irish, 30 years old, struck by lightning.' 'Why is he smiling

then?' said the Inspector. 'He thought someone was taking his picture.'

Sleep With It

And I slept with the night light on outside, it seems fine and not light disturbing. And when I switched on the bathroom light suddenly it was too bright for this and it switched off, temporarily

Gymless Day

So as we had a Gym free day today after dinner Timmy got the next section of his "telling me how to....." teaching work and we discussed various things that I was rubbish at but am slightly better now

Trip Out

Then after lunch we headed to Wilko where we bought a new extension lead and a Velcro pad set so we can put up the new nightlights to prevent me falling over at night when drunk, again.

The postman brought the nightlights earlier today. They seem to work but wont know how well until it is dark tonight
