Drinking

And we went to The Pub s'evening and drank a small amount. But yum yum

Bathing

And today in the bath I managed to wash my left armpit using my right hand which was in the keeping water away from your plaster thing. First time I have managed that since I owned the cover, a week and a half ago

Stickshopping

So s'morning we headed into town, to opposite the railway station is the mobility tools shop where we were looking for a new walking stick. As mine is fine for normal use but a bit scruffy for using it walking to the podium at Sam's wedding to make my reading. OK, that's not for two months yet but phew as they had to order me a stick today which won't be in for 2 weeks. Then we bring it home and decorate it with flowers etc then leave in in the corner until we take in to England in my spares bag until the morning of the wedding when I will actually use it

Although the chap in the shop, when I said "Can I have another 'stick like this" said "Sorry, we can't do one with flowers"

¾

Then last night it occurred to me that then I was ¾ of the way through my time in a splint

Up She Cried

So I had no alarm clock set today, as it is the weekend, and I still got up, stripped my bed etc 15 minutes before my alarm clock goes off on a normal morning

Paralympics

Lord, watching the intro to the Paralympics and it so occurs to me, I am an exwheelchair user

Gymwards

Then I got stuck into going to a proper gym clasd. Kind of neing able to do some and not others but I did a load. I wasn't too inappropriate with Sam, just because she was busy with other clients

S'morning'

Well s'morning I asked MM to chop my onion and mushroom then got stuck into cleaning under a running tap then peeling and chopping the rest of the veg and I made it into a potentially delicious* big pan of food with a tin of tomatoes and some lentils, garlic and spices. So I nearly did this all by myself

* Say potentially, I haven't actually tasted it yet but it looks nice

Ignoring Ads

So I am watching a C4 program on the iPlayer and there was 3 or 4 minutes of ads in the middle and there was no way of switching them off.

Very unsettling

Rather Strange But Strangely Entertaining

Well I have just listened to the first installment of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy new series which was strange but entertaining, much like the other stuff I have heard/read

Busy Thursday Morning

So first of all we had to go to The Warren (Just called Th.....ren in this pic) unusually to pick up my veg and there was no parking anywhere by there but we parked on the main street about 5 yds away so it was dead close. We did that then MM had to push my trolley around Morrison's for me but again we did it, got everything on the list

Then after we had come home and put stuff away etc we headed back to the gym where I was only able to use 3 "leg only" machines but I did it

Hanging Out Again

And I hung the washing out to dry again. So 4 days ago I didn't feel able to, then 2 days ago I did and it is just force of habit now.

Very strange

Off Out For Dinner

And we did the washing up early today because me and GGtGG are going out for dinner with the Carmarthen Making Friends group

And wasn't that fun, a good time was had

Denyse

Then Denyse came over "because she's supposed to" to just check up on me and how I am coping with my splint etc. It all went well until she said "Is there anything you want to ask me?" and even tho I didn't ask her this time she could tell that I was frantically trying to think of something other than "Marry me"

Shopping

So we headed into town first thing and went round and round until we found a free parking space. From there it was miles to Savers where we had to go, but it just isn't an issue, any more. Distance to walk is not as much of an issue as it was a few months ago

Randomly Better

Today, for the first time since last week I was able to hold my toothbrush in my right hand and squirt 'paste with my left hand. I haven't been able to use both hands for a week, I had to lie my toothbrush down in the sink and use one hand to squirt

Hectic Day

So first thing today that Denyse is coming to see me, then I have gotta head to a gym class then we are popping out to a restaurant near where we first lived in Wales for a 'making friends' group dinner

Tomorrow

And we are going out for dinner tomorrow night with the Carmarthen Meet Folk Society or somesuch

Theraputic

And as it hurts to lean on anything with my right hand it means that when I go to stand up I am holding my walky stick in my left hand and I have got to just stand up using my legs alone. So even this is thera-fsckin'-putic

Bicycling

So s'morning we headed to gym and I got on the bike. I had said "No" to that loads of times as it feels really strange a)if I don't lean my right hand on the handlebars I feel really unbalanced/unstraight, and b)if I do lean my right hand on it makes the wrist feel all unstraight etc, but I got stuck in and tried it.

I was due to do 10km but I finished after half an hour cycling, about 6 and a bit km as my right foot was feeling a bit odd
