Walkies (Again)
And me and MM headed to town s'morning and did the longest walk MM has ever done with me around town. We parked outside Caffe Nero walked across the road up and back along Greyfriars Avenue then up the hill past the old Town Hall, part way along King St, then down Jacksons Lane past Iechyd Da then turn left at the bottom back to the car

Got An Appointment
And I received a medical appointment for next month through the post today. Dunno what they are checking, my FES probably
Walkies
So we headed into town today, parked at the top of King St and called into 3 charity shops on the way along, popped down Jacksons Lane, past Caffi Iechyd Da, then turned right at the bottom and walked the rest of the way along Chapel St/Woods Row along to Little Water St which took us back up and we came out about 5 yds from the car
BUT most importantly we called into the Lyric Theatre to see what was on, and actually forked out oodles of cash for a ticket to see Andy Parsons, and as I have an "I'm A Cripple" card I got my MOS's ticket for free. I think it will be MM that night. I AM looking forward to it, I hope it is excellent
Summertime
So I was sitting outside before 10AM s'morning and it was so hot that I needed to take off my extra shirt and just leave myself with a t-shirt. It's warmer than it has been for roughly a fortnight

Gymtastic
So as the Window Fixers were quick today I did have time to have an early lunch then take myself off to Sam's Gym Class. Which I wasn't looking forward to as my leg is still fscked after my fall a fortnight ago but just WOW. I am even better than yesterday. I was able to walk up the stairs again, I was able to come back down which I couldn't manage yesterday, I was able to ride an exercise bike which again I couldn't manage yesterday so hopefully I am just better and better every day now
Clarking Bell
So the Window Fixers arrived early s'morning and did all the work dead quickly. I was impressed at how they can handle stuff.
BUT as they arrived early there is time for me to go to gym, I had thought there wouldn't be time but they finished and left by 1pm

Unexpectedly
And we had to pop to the bank earlier and take out loads to pay the window fixer who came yesterday and looked at the job, they are coming tomorrow to mend my now properly closed or properly open windows, including the one that won't open or close since I left them partially open all winter
Walkies
Then l8r on we headed into town for a walk about. Timmy had to call at a couple of shops but we did walk much further than that.
We parked outside Caffè Nero and walked uphill, Guildhall Square, then walked a little way along King St, down Jacksons Lane and back to the car that way

Nooneraft
So after lunch (and half an hour digesting time) we headed to gym. Again I was doing upper arm exercises at full weight and and I managed 3 or 4 minutes longer on the hurting Neil's arse machine. Today I walked all the way up the stairs not much of a problem but I bottled out of walking down as I was trying to bend my right leg first
Again it was as dull as a.... but I am getting better
What A Morning
So first of all I had to pop to the Drs to fetch my 'script. Then as we had 20 mins to spare we walked along King St and we popped into an Art Gallery and raised the tone then we popped to the Toenail Chopper and had that done. Then we came home and will pop back to gym after lunch

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
