Opened It

And I had pizza and chips for dinner tonight, it is a regalar Thursday/Friday dinner and the only day of the week when it is necessary to open the "chip" drawer in the freezer. The drawer that MM had to do a serious repair on this week. But to his credit the drawer just opened and closed again when I was finished

So big ta to him

Fetch It

Well the phone rang twice when I was in the bath today. Afterwards I looked at it and it said a Carmarthen no. So I thought...... who?.... and dialed back. It was the Toyota Garage in Carmarthen saying "Where are you, your new car is here...?"

Aargh. Much confusion and unpacking of boots etc then we popped into town and swapped the cars over. Just wow etc, it is so clever etc. 

Friday

So we have an early lunch today then off to Sam's class at gym. Lordy, I was getting much better last week but it still seemed that I was too poorly to be getting on with the class, again I am 17 times better than I was last week so......

Gord, yes, I am as better as a nearly back to normal person. Anle to use all the various machines again etc. Phew or somesuch

Good Time Was.....

And we had a good time at Iechyd Da tonight. There were fewer than usual spectators (which is bad from "their" POV) but some excellent muso's.

Pics taken but not "'done' 'til tomorrow. (And on Friday morning I can do them)

And it felt a bit strange, going out and having 3 pints of beer to drink and not falling over or being sick or wetting the bed or anything

S'Broken

And I was lifting my shoe up to put it on and I noticed the wire that connects to my FES was nearly broken, well the wire was complete but the covering was broken. I called Timmy and he came to look, they actually had a spare much to everyone's surprise but that means there is a job for Timmy first thing, phone them and get another couple of spares

I don't think it was anyone's fault, just the product had worn out

Thursday AM

(Sigh)

So we have another busy Thursday morning, to Iechyd Da for the organic veg, to Morrisons for the rest of my shopping, then do some exercise

Then s'evening we are back to Iechyd Da for a Folk Night (noisy)

(Double Sigh) 

Well me and Timmy headed into town, it took 3 goes up King St before we found a parking space, we did Iechyd Da and said "See ya later" to the staff there, went Morrisons-ing and did that too. So we came back, put shopping away etc then I said "Timmy, gym?". Today I was directed to a rowing machine, the type that I couldn't use at all last week and today my ar*e let me do 2.1km so a lot better. Still not best but better

Mender

And today also the postman brought a new bit for the freezer drawer, which luckily MM understood and was able to put it on the freezer drawer which was looking a bit sadder every day.

Where Shall We Go

Then today MM, as there is no swimming, took me to the Civic Centre in Swansea mainly because it has loads and loads of stairs, but also because it opens out to a lovely coastal path. All of which we used, it was lovely

Unexpected Dinner

Then tonight we set off to walk thru town and actually ended up at Frankie And Bennys where we went in first just for a brew ('cos I needed to sit down too) but in the end we ate there. After being warned off by Stu t'other day we had a not too unpleasant meal

But this is the first time I have drunk that Alcohol stuff since I fell over a fortnight ago. Hopefully I haven't drunk so much, I am still in control tonight etc

Phew, no sick, no falling over.... 

Mended????????????

So today Timmy took action with tape on the freezer drawer, dunno if it has been effective, wait and see

Bikesling

So I was trying out on a bike at the gym today. Basically  to see if my coccyx was objecting and it didn't object too much

So in the end I managed about 3.5 km of my target of 10km, but the fact that I could do any was an improvement

Cheerful Drunk Man

And when we were out walking tonight a drunk man was coming t'other way and he said 'Hi' to me then he said to RoyGBiv 'He used to be in a wheelchair, used to be' which was nice

Weather

And the back door is still open, it has been so warm, even tho it is dark now the door is still open

Double Sigh

And Sara The Physio has just emailed me to say "Sorry, circs. beyond my control, tomorrow is cancelled. Will be in touch...."

Walkies Again

Sigh, therapeutic walkies again tonight. We are just heading into town......

And we parked opposite Caffi Nero, walked round town, up Red St/Chapel St, up past Caffi Iechyd Da and along King St and back down the far side of the old court building, Guildhall

Hope It Fits

And aargh, the already broken front of the top drawer in the freezer broke more today. So I hope this replacement fits

I CAN Walk Nowadays

And in the bathroom s'morning not thinking about it I just stuck my walking stick next to the door and walked without holding on, just walked, to the loo. Like I haven't been able to do for over a fortnight.

So it is proof, I AM getting better

This Morning

So first of all today I went to the gym with RoyGBiv and did various upper body exercises, as I can now.

Then we headed into town and I bought about a years worth of tissues from Merlins Walk. I could have just waited until I was in Morrisons in a couple of days but I tell everyone that it is therapeutic, a)Walking to get there, and b)Just conversing with the till operator etc

Feet and Legs Better

And this morning I can just tell that my feet and legs are behaving a bit better.....

But my fscking coccyx is still hurting, most sitting down positions.....

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
