And it feels OK again having the FES on my leg. I think the swelling on my big toe must have been growing for ages

Out+About
Then we went into town for a walk after dinner. Parked at the bottom, walked uphill, along King St then back on the other side and then downhill past the old court again. There was no reason, just out for a walk
Chiropodist
And we went to see the chiropodist a week early today, I was cynical that she would send me to the doctors after looking at my swelling but none of it. She did various cutting and grinding and the swelling has gone down and I am a happy, more comfortable chappy
Nor Swimming
And as it is half term there is no swimming class today so instead we popped gymwards and did four upper body weight lifting machines.
And I really want to complain about how my right arm is a bit fscked. Less fscked than last time we did upper body machines but it still doesn't work as well as my left arm

Foot Fixer
So someone made a phone call to the chiropodist today and said "Neil has an appt next week but can he see you early as his toe hurts?" so tomorrow afternoon I am going
Bicycley-wikeling
So I said to RoyGBiv that I thought my toe was hurting too much to cycle but I would try it first and see. So far nearly 3km into it and it doesn't hurt at all. The cycling machine/position keeps my toe at the right angle where it is not hitting against the end of my shoe
Grenfell Inquiry
So I was looking at the newspaper and I came across a "Grenfell live inquiry" link, clicked it and it just shows a video of gentle music playing against pictures of people trying to lead their lives. Every few seconds there is a new photo of someone else. All the people who were killed. All. I only managed to keep it on for 10 or 12 pictures, a very few of the people who are no more
Back To Normal
So I was back yesterday but it was a bank holiday "nothings happening" day but today I am back to fecking gymming etc

Home Again Jiggety Jig
So we woke up early s'morning and immediately packed up and loaded the car etc. We travelled back and arrived at almost exactly lunchtime, called at Spar so me and Mark could buy a sandwich as my bread was frozen and came back. Put the washing on etc and were just a bit astonished about where we had been for the last 2 or 3 days

Sam's Class
So s'afternoon I had to go to the gym class that I thought we would miss because we were at wedding. But I did almost all of it standing on my own two feet not holding on. Including the step up and the step up sideways exercises.
Then afterwards before my bath I called GGtGG into the bedroom and tried some situps on the bed. I had to get him to hold my feet down but that is just a technique/practice thingy. I couldn't get my right arm to go behind my head but with one arm behind I did 10 situps. After the wedding that is gonna become a daily practice thingy. Hopefully in the end I will manage more a day too
