Men's-shed

So I went back to Men's-Shed tonight, the first time I have been there for a month. I didn't actually do anything, just socialized and kept an eye on what folk were doing tonight

Doesn't Hurt

And I have just been using that ball thingy that I was given yesterday and it hurts loads less than it did yesterday. I can actually squeeze it with my thumb and third finger which I couldn't do yesterday, it hurt too much

AND I was able to put my splint on much tighter when I put it on myself tonight. Yes, I am obviously "getting better" in some way

Rowing

Then we popped to gym and I got stuck into the rowing machine for the first time in about a month as I can manage it now.

It was harder work but I did my 10km

First Things First

First Things First we popped down to the Drs to fetch my soapy stuff and my asthma inhaler except what I had ordered was my inhaler and cream for my legs, so when I came home I had to order some soapy stuff which I will collect on Thursday when I am there seeing the Diabetes nurse

Sigh

Weather

And after it snowed yesterday the sun is out today  (new link)

Were Off

And we are off s'lunchtime to Bridgend to see that Sara the physio so she can advise me about my broken hand and apparently I have been a bit wobblier on my feet recently so she will advise me how to not wobble so much

Well.... they said my hand was just busy recuperating but my walking needs loads more practice so she has made an appointment for me next week when I will take my splint in to have it reset.

Well I have fitted it on tonight. We have said "Keep it on for an hour" so we shall see. It hurts but not too much......

And we popped into Asda close by the center to have lunch too. We were in the center from 12 midday 'til 1.15 then we stopped in on the way home 'cause it takes the best part of an hour to get home from there

And we had decided that I should wear my splint for an hour or two every night when I am sitting at my PC, it doesn't work in bed for me but a couple of hours is good...

Lovely Summers Day

Toasty and warm today....

And oh look, it's much warmer an hour later....

And well after midday when the sun is at it's highest

And look how it got this afternoon....

Walkies

And we went out for a walk into the freezing wind. We walked all the way along King St calling in 3 or 4 charity shops as we went along, down the big hill at the end past the old court building, turned right at the bottom of the hill then back to past Iechyd Da and back along King St to the car

It was fscking freezing but occasionally sunny too

Gymming

So I went to Sam's Class at the gym today and this time I managed to do the full hour. It was different but OK.

That Was Just As Well

And we had to take a sample of piss into the testers yesterday but they compared it today "No, no problem" so I am not ill in that was

First Things First

So first of all s'morning we had to head down to Toe Choppers where they did all my feet, it didn't hurt too much today even tho I complained as much as ever

But I didn't wear my uber-trainers or my FES sockings, just normal trainers and shoes but I was able to walk from the car to their establishment no problem

Pushed It

And I managed to push the trolley around the supermarket this week, my hand is much better

AND for the third day in a row I was capable of doing the washing up!!

Crisis

First of all s'morning we went to the Drs and got a bottle and form so I can leave in a piss sample. Then we went to hospital and they took a blood test to try my for diabetes. It did hurt this time.

THEN we popped to Iechyd Da and picked up my org veg and we popped to Morrison's and got the rest of the shopping

Third of all we came home and I pissed in my bottle and we popped it back to the doctors

This is to see if there is any reason I have pissed the bed twice in a fortnight

Double Sheet

And I wet the bed last night, I wasn't drunk or anything......

But according to GGtGG I was snoring really loudly last night.....

<Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t>

So as my Plaster of Paris is off my arm I will have to go to Aqua Aerobics today

Fark. Wasn't that fun. I only lasted about 40 minutes out of the hour class but my right hand was hurting too much to continue. But I did it, I started

For The Best

And I hope that my ache isn't being prominent in't morning...

And it wasn't. There is one position in which it hurts loads but the rest of the time it doesn't hurt at all

Xcel

So we are off in a bit to Xcel bowling alley where I won't be bowling at all but socializing with many (hopefully) Carmarthen folk

And yes, there was a few folk, many of whom I talked to. A good night was had

All Clean

And just now I was just able to clean my left armpit using my right hand. As simple as that. No trying to bend my left arm or owt. Just did it.

PoP-less

So we went to hospital s'morning, were saw within about 10 minutes by someone who just removed my plaster of paris and said "Someone will call you in a bit". Lordy, the skin that had been underneath looked like it had been underwater for ages etc, but it gave me great pleasure to be able to move fingers again etc. After we saw the specialist he said "Your 3rd knuckle has disappeared but that shouldn't affect you, the rest of it looks fine, see yah" and we came home.

Lord, so I went into bathroom straight away and cleaned it with soap and water as the skin had been coming off for 3 weeks and unable to go anywhere. It still aches a bit but he said it should be better fully in 2 or 3 weeks, I just need to do my stretchy exercises in the mean time etc

Random Thoughts

And I was sitting on the loo thinking about what I needed to do. I thought about my FES attachment which I thought until then stood for "F#ck Every Saturday" but I realised that it actually stands for "Fscking Extra Sexy"

Yes, sorry, HTH
