so ... last night's 880 plus today's and this arvo's 277, um ... 1157 phew! past 1000 again.
so, got up this morning, had a yummy custard bun plus a cup of milo for breakfast, then to hospital we went. the day hospital first, then back to BIRU, where i chatted to shellay. who says they're letting her out in 3 weeks. yay!so in came linelle, and we started. poor bob was away AGAIN, he'd better be back on thurs! some bum lifts, some stands, then finally a walk with micky. we saw jim transfer from bed to chair without a hoist (yeah, go jim!) and katie, a girl who had a head-on smash with a truck gave me a white chocolate egg, which i happily sucked on. thanks katie!so linda and evelyn both saw me walk, then mum came, took me to the loo, then we went down to the canteen for lunch. one yummy fish and chups with gravy and a 600ml bottle of chocolate milk. i have to admit though, i prefer the little pieces of crumbed fish, not the one big long battered fish. but at heart, i'm a battered fan!
so then we went to sabina's for a hair chop; and she thankfully left my ears intact! she also mentioned that she had got xmas presents for both her son and daughter. as we left, we saw fabio there, but he's a blue's supporter, so i'll laugh at him on thurs.
back home, mum made me walk in,; i'm chatting to joshels now, and the aircon guy is here to set one up in my room/the study.
well, off for some reading now! mum says i'm only allowed on till 3:25, so i'd best hurry up. bye!
cheers,

monday post
well, even more relieved today ... 1002 steps!
so ... got up nice and late this morning, along came aunty wendy from cathay, who was lovely and not only got mum and i some very nice beef and carrot soup (let's just forget about the icky piece of ginger i almost choked on) but caught a fish for squishy! so my penguin, he's so happy now. :)
so we did truckloads of exercises, then my nreakfast/lunch (i really like the word 'brunch!) was a gooey pasta in white sauce with various little bits of veges, like carrot. mum came back, and another session with the noisy chair for me. a massage for 2 bumcheeks, although goodness it sounds like an out-of-control machine gun!
we went home, had a sausage bun and a cup of milo for arvo tea, before 2 ladies came along who promised they wouldn't eat me. one was called kerry, the other jo.when jo and mum left, kerry gave me a nice hot shower (hair washed too) and then got me for around another 15mins of exercise before i got to pop online and am talking to bee now.
bleurgh, i'm already hungry! but not dinnertime for about another hour, so oh well.
ok, off to read now! i've got physio earlier than usual ?(at 10 instead of 11) and then a haircut at lunch. hmm ... i want a kebab!
see yous later!
cheers,

hmm ... spam count for thr weekend? 120. steps for today? 1003. i mean, goodness i didn't take really big steps or anything!
so, got up for church this morning; i presume breakfast was bread with jam ... or was it eggs? sorry, i forgot ><
speaker today was a fellow called tim, i think, and his wife was asian. he talked about acting justly, loving mercy, and following the lord. afterwards, a woman talked about what it was like to be adopted. then there was communion. i asked pole when she had been baptised, and she said while i was in hospital. church over, mum, janice and pole helped me walk out of church to the car - first time ever! janice told me just to keep an eye on the goodlooking guy in front of me (which turned out to be joshels and sometimes jono so). pole said when i'm back up on my own feet, she'd take me to wing gei and shout me an a or b meal. can't wait!
we went to foodcourt, dad went for the groceries while mum went for the bread and har siu bings. we then got kfc as takeaway. also bumped into jono, aunty jo and uncle nsw. back home, had a drumstick and a couple of chips. mum and i both took a bite of dad's burger and i polished off the potato and gravy, before parents made me pedal another 350 rotations then dropping me for a nap. dad went to baddy, and karina came around 3pm. her sister's name is nardeesha ?(unsure about spelling, sorry) i got a yummy chocolate harsiubing for arvo tea, along with a cup of milo. karina tried a sesame one, and i also had an apple to counteract my low iron. both mum and karina had a slice each too.
so, now mum's gone a snoozing, karina's reading the paper, and i'm going to watch more naruto then continue reading fanfic.
aunty a and aunty lillian are coming over for dinner tonight.
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. KARINA TELLS ME YOU CAN BUY HARSIUBINGS AT GARBO, TOO. DOWNSTAIRS, NEAR THE SUSHI. LATERS! (argh, shrieking, sorry. and i thought i had managed to stay clear of it the whole post too. ah well, there's always next time!

ok, add the 885 from before, then the 398 from vincent the physio's session, ans we get ... 1283, give or take a few.
yay, i's past the 1000 mark again! but dr, lee is mean, he says he won't send me another postcard until i reach 1500. hmph.
well, half my prayers were answered this morning when uncle wallace couldn't make it. dunno why though. so i got up ridiculously late (?say, 1:30, even though my alarm reads 5:40) when mum got home from work. parents then made me walk out to the eating/dining table before they fed me a brunch of last night's yummy leftovers. vincent the physio came early, so dad fed him a long corn cob as mum went for a snooze. meaning, first (and thankfully, only) session:PT. he left when we finished, although i did tell him that he had to stay still whenever kat ever wanted to practise her kamehamehas on him! hehe i popped online to blog, and will read soon. apparently some respite people will be coming in the arvo. i hope they won't eat me! okies, time to read! see most of yous at church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. DAD JUST STARTED ?(sorry, shrieking)vacuuming. i've got no idea whjere the double letters are, but i'm sure there's at least a pair.

well, step count for today is 590. got up this morning, brekkie was jam on toast, then we were paid a visit from louise and jo from coda. after they left, we got ready to go ourselves. a ppointment with the noisy chair for me. a noisy session later, dr. mor had a look at my ultrasound results and my blood and pee tests. apparently i'm a bit low on iron, but that's about it. more apples in the future for me, i guess!
so then we went home and mum microwaved my yummy lunch for me - chicken florentine in a creamy cheese sauce with spinach and aboput 10 little pieces of carrot. mum had beef lasagne herself. sorry, but YUCKY.
i popped online to send vince a bday card, and am just chatting with him now. about meat, axtually, red and white types of it.
anyways, aunty yvonne is popping over now (the doorbell just rang, actually, so more walkies from me. oh well. byebye!

thursday post
well, add the 560 from last night and this morning, plus the 320 from physio today, plus the 180 back into the house, and that makes ... *counts on fingers, resisting the urge to dig out the calculator* 1060? sorry, i was never any good at maths (well, up until grade ten), definitely not my forte!
so, got up nice and early today; breakfast was jam on toast with a cup of milk or milo. the latter, i think. off to day hospital we then headed. OT first today at 9, the OT squashed all hopes of me getting a makeup session with a flat out "no". just random left hand exercises, sadly, habib didn't pop around with morning tea, but oh well. mum came back in time to take me to sue the orthotist (she signed my book!)who tweaked my boot a little then let me go to physio with jayne. just a long walk with a stick, before she had to run off to a family meeting and left me under bob's supervision to do bed exercises. 100 odd each of arm lifts and bum exercises later, mum came to get me and bob kindly let us out the side - but not before pretending to blow his nose on my beautiful scarf! bad bob. i hope manly lose this week! i watched the game last friday - the broncos only won by a point! phew~~~
so mum and i went home, and mum cooked us a yummy egg and ham and a bit of definitely not so yummy (read yucky :P)mushrooms. anna joined us and had a bowl; hungry me had 2 and mum finished off the pan. i regaled anna with my knowledge of the fujian language, and mum and i both had glasses of milk while anna chose coffee instead. then mum left to go to centrelink, i popped online, and anna kindly did the washing up for us. the phone just rang, but she missed it.oh well, i showed her where the phone is and she thought it was an alarm clock! hehe
anyways, i guess i'll watch naruto, email a few people and read. bye!
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. how nice- anna is playing 'as the deer' on the piano :)

wednesday post
to be honest, i didn't even know today was wednesday until i saw the previous post was marked tuesday. firstly:step count for today is 590. i got up fashionably (read:ridiculously) late, and had a microwaved creamy pasta with chicken as breakfast, say ... at 11 or 12:40. i then read for awhile, before mum grabbed me for more exercises. that was at 1:20, and seeing as karen the blue nurse came at 1:50, that was a good half hour. if i remember correctly, some DSQ people are coming later, and aunty yvonne can't come today coz of prior committments. i think mum said some boiled dumplings will serve as lunch, and squishy my cuddly penguin is tons excited coz dad promised to catch him a BIG fish. hehe.
okay, reading for me now! see you guys toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. if habib is lovely and comes with morning tea again, i must remember to ask him the name of his friend.
p.p.s,i also must remember to keep nagging the OT to make up my missed OT session. i think she's already told my mum no, but how unfair is that?! so i'm going to keep at her until she caves. byebye!^^
P.P.P.S. AFTER MAKING ME BIKE PEDAL AND WALKIES AGAIN, DAD GAVE ME AN EXTRA 25MINS OF EXERCISE ON THE BED. AND I ONLY WANTED TO SLEEP! OH WELL, MY LIFE SUCKS ... GET USED TO ITeep, sorry, caps. time to go reading!

so, got up nice and late this morning (oh, say about 9), had a sausage bun and a cup of milo for breakfast, then dad came back to walk me to the car and say byebye as we headed for day hospital. yup, i was up in BIRU again, so one of the ladies wheeled me there, thanks! did various leg work with lynelle, then some arm work, then some stands, then finally, armed with a cane we went for a walk, accompanied by bob. mum picked me up when i was done, and after saying hi and bye to the physios, linda, tomtom, aunty rose and alison, we headed home. yummy subway for lunch, cheap sub of the day $3.95. mum used honey oat bread and all the salads minus jalepenos, i stuck with parmesan oregano and just lettuce and tomato, and we both preffered yummy sweet onion sauce. i read the paper, but was still hungry after lunch so mum fed me one more pocky. a lady called belinda from some company came over for a chat, i'm just blogging and will go reading soon.

oops, 2nd time lucky, my nose decided to leak then i stupidly hit sth that made this page change, thus losing the post. just 310 steps today, but mum says there will be lots more tonight.
breakfast this morning was jam on toast with a cup of milo, then i drank an entire bottle of pear juice and water while mum hung the washing up. aunty susan came over, and off to sunnybank private we trundled. had an ultrasound. hard thing was, no peeing allowed! ><
the lady's name was felicity, and i asked her to keep an eye out in case i turned out to be like the virgin mary - with a baby!
later, another one called karen came into help, and she confirmed it was a female baby brachiosaurus, however that's spelt. i promptly named my baby girl dinosaur 'felicity karen', to which they both laughed. ultrasounding done, mum gave me a pan, and i admit- what a big relief! we went back outside to wait for the report, then left when it came. said goodbye and thank-you to aunty susan when we reached home, then lunchtime! i had the last microwaveable lunch left in the freezer, the 'chicken with penne' in a tomato sauce and with assorted greens; mum just stuck with last night's leftovers.
ok, i wanna go watch naruto now! and turn my week's report to the physio.
see you guys toms!
cheers,

thursday post
do today i walked 770 steps. soi hope it's a good report i'll turn in for the physios toms!
sorry, but i can't remember what this morning's breakfast was, but we got up nice and early coz OT was at 9am. just various exercises for my left hand. i asked my physio about making up the missed session for me, and i'll keep bugging her about it until she complies :P
habib was a darling and gave me morning tea with 2 equal and 2 bikkies, even though stupid me dropped one >< he also said he hoped to see me at sunnybank hills where i see vincent the physio. i hope so too!
so, physio over, i asked the receptionist to please get a nurse to take me to the loo. she called up BIRU, but they were all busy so i waited for mum to take me who came shortly later. we then read magazines till it was time to go to physio, and mum deposited me with jayne. turns out that before she became a smith, she was a baker. yay, thanks to mum who just remembered to charge ipoddy for me! means that i can listen to it toms when i go chair sitting.
jayne whipped off my boot, and said my poor heel was red again, so she told mum to keep it off unless i had to go walkies.
physio was just stands, coz she thought it prudent to skip the walk this time. physio over, bob let us out and we went home. mum made me walk to the dining table once home, and we had our lunches, plus a glass of milk for me. mine was a delicious chicken caesar salad, with sadly less chicken than usual; mum's was a definitely not so delicious -in fact, downright yucky if you ask me!- thai beef salad. eewww. lunch over, mum had me walk to the bed pot, before i hit the bed for an afternoon snore. when i got up, i used the 'bed pot' :P again, before mum made me walk out to the dining hall to watch the news and wait for dad's return. when my dear daddy came back, we had dinner, then i went to the loo before being walked back to the bike for another 350 rotations. *sigh* thighs tired now. then walked back to the computer, where i can finally blog. actually, mum says in the future internet time will be shifted to afternoons so she can focus on making me do more exercises at night. oh well, i hope it works out!
righteo guys, i'm done for the night. hopefully i'll watch naruto and read my fanfics which smelly really kindly gave me the links to. bye all!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. TOMS I'M GOING FOR (eep, sorry, shrieking again) an ultrasound. i hope they won't find anything in there - like a baby! o_O but thanks to aunty susan who will come with us! that's at 10:00. and i'll sit on the noisy chair at 2:30pm. hope both bumcheeks will get a massage!
p.p.s. how cool is that? mum, aunty susan and aunty josephine fung all trained at the same nursing school! but i think they're both retired now. go my mum - still plugging on. ^^
P.P.P.S. YAY, THANKS VINCE! I GOT (argh, so much shrieking again! >< my apologies) the postcard from him i've been nagging him for! and it came with some really pretty photos too! okies, goodnite!
P.P.P.P.S. um ... just wondering: wing gei, that eatery at market square, it has tables for eating along the side, outside, right? anyone know?
p.p.p.p.p.s. great ... i forgot. bet i'll remember the moment i hit 'publish post'. oh - that's it:so god's made me a hemiplegic/paraplegic/whatever-plegic, right? couldn't he just have the decency to take me up to heaven too? whatever. byebye!
sorry, but i can't remember what this morning's breakfast was, but we got up nice and early coz OT was at 9am. just various exercises for my left hand. i asked my physio about making up the missed session for me, and i'll keep bugging her about it until she complies :P
habib was a darling and gave me morning tea with 2 equal and 2 bikkies, even though stupid me dropped one >< he also said he hoped to see me at sunnybank hills where i see vincent the physio. i hope so too!
so, physio over, i asked the receptionist to please get a nurse to take me to the loo. she called up BIRU, but they were all busy so i waited for mum to take me who came shortly later. we then read magazines till it was time to go to physio, and mum deposited me with jayne. turns out that before she became a smith, she was a baker. yay, thanks to mum who just remembered to charge ipoddy for me! means that i can listen to it toms when i go chair sitting.

wednesday post
ok, step count for today, 660.
so, got up this morning nice and late. i think mum and i had the same breakfast, eitherwise known as the most boring breakfast in the world, but i had a cup of milo with mine. coz today was wednesday, aunty yvonne came over and we did some physio. aunty carmen also came over, along with some yummy congee that she made. when she left, aunty yvonne continued to walk with me, before making her special 'little eggies', that common hk snack. but good on her! she put in enough sugar this time, so it tasted just delicious. we all also had a yummy bowl of congee. thanks aunty carmen! when aunty yvonne left, mum and i got ready to go out. destination? dr's place to sit on the noisy chair. good news, both my bumcheeks got a massage this time; last time, it was only the left.
oh! almost forgot - before the chair appointment, mum took me next door to get my blood taken. i HATE blood ladies. but this one was nice, her name was trisha. i told her my attempts at wheeling away with onearm story and she laughed.i also warned her about me having stupid veins, but still, we had 2 first unsuccessful jabs. ouch. :(
she came up with a good solution in the end though - finger pricking! like i said, after that, she got 'copious' amounts of blood. :P
so we went back home, had a croissant each then i hit the bed for an arvo snooze. when i got up it was shower time turns out that the guys from ABIA (acquired brain injury assosciation) were late, so we had dinner first. grant came first - he's got 2 young sons that keep getting STUCK into things! oh dear >< for instance, one young son got stuck in a ROCKING HORSE, of all things. oh dear. dad offered him a cup of tea - he takes it like i do - white and 2. even scarier, he told me he knows a guy that takes it white and FOUR. i mean, is that guy eating sugar or drinking tea? lol. cole came later - he says we've met before - not that i remember, sorry. we talked a lot about things, like coping mechanisms, etc. cole left a report on me that i'll read toms if i get the chance. house is on right now - some repeat. funnily enough? i thought the season was already over. oh well. funnily enough, dad thought the patient's daughter was JENNIFER ANISTON. teeheehee.
ok, off to bed now. outpatient therapies toms - must remember to ask bob for a buck to buy the paper. ok, goodnite!
cheers,
em. ^^

tuesday post
cool ... well today i walked 880 steps. but expect big totals in the future, coz mum said that from now on i walk for everything, screw the 'when dad comes home, you walk.' thing. oh well.
so, breakfast this morning was the most boring breakfast ever :P but funnily enough, mum doesn't like honey mustard. so i had an outpatient's appointment at 11am, but as i was early, i asked shauna to help me to the loo. sorry, actually it was lynelle that was late. turns out janelle is on holidays and overseas, i hope bob won't burn the place down while she's not here! hehe, but mum says he wouldn't dare, coz then mrs mouse would bash poor bob to death! ouchies ><
so we did various leg and bum exercises, then armed with a cane, we went a walkies. physio done, mum got me, and we said hi to everyone (we saw linda!) before leaving. turns out pole was busy (she had tutoring to do) and wasn't free for lunch. aww :( oh well, too bad ... maybe next week.
went to the loo once home, then mum made me walkies around before we munched our yummy microwaveable lunches. i had honey mustard chicken, mum had the chicken coq au vin - however that's spelt. then i went an afternoon snoozings - mum did too, but only for an hour and a bit, whereas i managed three plus :P so that means arvo tea was skipped, and we had dinner when dear daddy came home :) i missed him! he rang us this morning, actually.
anyways, parents made me pedal 350 rotations, and made me more walkings before i was finally allowed to blog, but not to check email. oh well, toms, maybe.
must remember, lynelle told me this is my last two months to ever walk again, else i'm stuck in this forever - and to keep my head up so i promise to try my best! i want to be on legs, not wheels!
anyways, schedule for toms: aunty yvonne will be coming for physio, then in the arvo i'm gonna sit on that noisy chair again - hopefully this time both bumcheeks will get a massage! oh, and a blood test and another unspecified one too - but mum has promised to gimmee a wee choccie egg to make up for the needle ouchies :s oh well.
righteo guys, off to bed now. as a parting remark, a very big thankee (hehe, i is being amish again! :P) to leanne who gave me a comment and a tidbit! only, i must email her, coz the link to the tidbit is too short :( oh well, tomorrow's business.
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. still no luck with the being dead yet. mum's warned me if i let someone kill me, i'll still go to hell, coz that'a tantamount to commiting suicide. oh well, if that's the case, so be it. i'll live (or burn in hell, whatever) with the knowledge that my beloved family will be in heaven. goodnite!

monday post
today i walked 355 steps. i'm still not dead yet, but i'm hoping for a fatal car crash that mum will escape totally uninjured but leave me dead. please, just remember to be nice to my parents. i love them so much.
anyways, got up this morning, went to the bathroom and only had a cup of milk for breakkie coz the lady from cathay was coming. her name was wendy, and she speaks canto. mum showed her around the place, then went to aunty catherine's. first we watched 9's morning news, then aunty wendy took me to the bathroom before we came back to watch 7's morning news. we then had lunch - a microwaveable yummy fettucine thing with white sauce, vegies and chicken, and some aunty wendy had some 'swelling'. :P we then did 50mins of exercise. mum came home, aunty wendy admired my pictures and told mum i looked like her, which made her very happy, coz you know everyone says that i look like my dad.
after she left, mum helped me to the loo before i hit the bed for an afternoon snooze. i presume mum did too. dad popped back in briefly to get some food, then left again. actually, i think he said he's telling the bedtime story tonight! yay :)
turns out i woke up too late for arvo tea, so mum gave me a shower, then i watched the news till dad came home. we had dinner, then i watched the remainder of ABC's 7pm news and some of the 7:30 report, before mum and dad made me bike pedal 350 rotations before they walked me here. i'm in sparky now though.
anyways, day hospital toms! i hope my poor physio isn't ill again! even more, i'm just hoping for a cup of morning tea! but most of all, i hope pole remembered to check her email and will find me for lunch toms! if not, then i hope mum will take me to wingei or sth! fingers are crossed, but hopes aren't up. oh well, like i said, hopefully i'll be in heaven by this time toms. oh well. good nite all!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post
spam count for the weekend? 58. steps walked?548. sadly, i'm still alive, but toms hopefully there'll be a car crash that'll claim my life. i've got better chances than mum, after all. i'm in the passenger seat.
well, got up this morning, breakfast of some lovely ham and eggs on bread, then off we trundled to church. speaker today was ross farley - i really do love his squeaky voice! his sermon today was 2 little talks:1. his mission trip to nambia or zambia, and 2. being a disciple of christ.
church over, we went home. first order of the day:more exercises. first i pedalled bike for ages (well, 350 rotations, to be exact), then mum grabbed me for more exercises as dad whipped up lunch for us. one yummy chicken flavoured nissan instant noodle later, i walked to the loo and back to my room for an arvo nap, while dad went to baddy. turns out mum had already called aunty a over for dinner by then. when i got up, dad was back and aunty a came. she didn't bring any nice tofu or other food, so i made her sing for her supper, teaching her the little ditty, "you are a big red apple. you're fat and sweet and good to eat." she sang it to both mum AND dad, which made me laugh. she also promised that if i can walk on my own in a year's time, she'll treat me and dad to a broncos match! she and mum can go out for dinner, or sth. so i had dinner plus a cup of pear juice, and i'm just blogging now.
i almost forgot! a great big THANKS! to josh who gave me a lovely broncos scarf that says 'member'. turns out his uncle gave it to him, but he's not a scarf wearer so he passed it on to me. *am very warm now* to be honest though, that boy needs smacking:we were talking and i said sth unintentionally that made him flounce off. when i later apologised to him if i'd hurt his feelings, he replied,"nah, i'm fine. if i'd really been hurt, i would've dropped you when i helped move your chair outta the church." naughty boy! oh well, but he's forgiven for the lovely warm scarf i'm wearing now.
anyone's toms is either the chair again that makes heaps of noise and gives my left bum a massage, or off to somewhere to get a blood test. ouchies >< but mum's promised to give me a piece of chocolate if that happens.
well, i'm going to watch naruto now, before dad grabs me for more exercises. fingers crossed for a car smash toms that will finally claim my life, ok? just remember to be kind to my parents, ok? coz i love them so. okies, byebye! hope you all have a great week, and best of luck with exams!

saturday post
let's see ... today i walked 450 steps. i'll start counting tomorrow when i haveta walk to the bathroom before i sleep. i seriously HATE MY LIFE. i've considered finding a bottle of poison and swallowing the whole thing, but then i remind myself that i'm not really a fan of burning in hell forever. so why can't some crazed lunatic come into church toms and shoot me dead? only problem, i think mum and dad would miss me a lot and i don't really wanna make them sad, so i hope that won't happen either.
so mum went to work this morning, and dad was a champ and made me ham and eggs on toast for breakfast. uncle wallace came along, meaning first session:OT. dad left him a marker to write me more exercises on the board, and i asked him to draw me sth, just like aunty a, aunty winnie and uncle colbert had done, so he drew me a rat. i thought it looked halfway decent, if not picasso quality, but poor uncle wallace! mum came home and asked if the new drawing was a PIG :P hehe so i had to bike pedal 300 rotations before i was let down for lunch, last night's leftovers, i think. then, a good half hour to 45 mins more of hand exercises before mum and dad walked me over to blog. bed for me after, but first: i've promised dad i can't hit myself or anything else except air anymore, and he also says i haveta ride bike 350x all next week to make up what i missed this week. argh. i don't have the breath to say anymore. i give up.
so mum came home, we had lunch, then i bedded down for an arvo nap. when i got up, mum gave me a shower, before we all munched happy dinner together. then came the more exercises i've already whinged about (sorry), so i'm just blogging now.
oh well, nth ?(is that slang for 'nothing' like 'sth' is short for 'something'. so i wonder if 'anything' would be shortened to 'ath') left to blog about, so i guess i'll call it a night and go to bed. parents will prolly make me walk to the bathroom coz i'm just in a normal chair right now. wonder if i can plead with mum so i don't haveta walk to my bedroom too. well, hopes aren't up.
fingers crossed for my last day on planet earth toms! then again, i'd miss my family too much. so percy the angel, please keep me and my whole family safe toms. righteo, bed beckons. will see most of yous at church toms. good nite!
cheers,

friday post
well ... today it was 560 steps or 650. probably the first.
so i got up this morning, had 'kinda coloured' porridge coz mum sadly refused to gimme sugar and put the honey out of my reach. oh well.
sometimes i really just think of doing myself in, but then i remember i'm not a fan of burning in hell forever, so that plan has to be scrapped, too bad.
anyways, this morning some bluecare ladies came for a chat, and later a big box of pads arrived for me, so i'm all set for awhile.
after they left, mum took me to the loo then we set out for dr. mor's. i got to try that noisy chair! some magnetic chair thing that helps strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, or sth. i just read a gossip magazine and it felt my left bum was getting a massage.
we said hi to some doctors and nurses before leaving. i wanted to ring pole and ask her for lunch, but mum said i couldn't pester her till august, coz my best friend actually has a life unlike me and i can't disturb her. oh well.
got home, lunch was microwaveable lunches - actually quite good! and the n'healthy choices' brand too, so i'm in the all clear! mum had some tuna thing, me some chicken, pasta and white sauce. yummy. actually, i almost forgot - on thursday aunty vicky made us some fried soya sauce noodles. not bad!
so i hit the bed for an arvo snooze, mum washed some blankets and other things and also watched some TV. uncle colbert and samuel popped along, so more walking practice for me! but samuel is one lucky kid! back from camp in nsw on thursday, school decides,"let's give them friday off." wish i had it like that when i was still at school!
on the topic on nsw ... *pokes tongue out* hahaha!!!!!!!!!!! qld won the second state of origin. us? 30. them? a big fat ZERO!!!!! i know the statistics aren't good - that the team that wins the first one usually wins the third, but fingers crossed. we can do it!GO QUEENSLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyways, after they left (sam was going to practise his skills as a fish with swimming lessons), i had a sausage bun for arvo tea and a glass of milk, then we watched the news and prepared to go to vincent the physio. kat jiejie was there too, and good on her! she passed one of her accouting exams! she, vincent the physio, and mum and dad snacked on some korean-styled 'lor mae chee' that some patient had given him, but i declined coz they had nuts in them. too bad.
so we went home and had dinner, then i popped online to blog. dad's watching the nrl, penrith vs. sydney city roosters. the latter are currently winning. not that i really care, anyway. poor mum got too excited and came here to read the paper, though she's more keen for me to do more exercise and pedal bike for say 20mins or so. ah well. my life sucks. get used to it.
okies, i'm off now! my prayers have been partially answered coz vincent the physio can't come toms - him and his wife are going to view picasso's paintings. i hope they'll find a nice one! okies, goodnite!
p.s. must remember to keep vince in my prayers too, apart from fisobao. he's in st george now, enjoying the comforts of a HUUUUUUGE TV. hehe- bye!
p.p.s. just want to get a quick email to my physios to tell them of my walking progress this week. ciao!
so i got up this morning, had 'kinda coloured' porridge coz mum sadly refused to gimme sugar and put the honey out of my reach. oh well.
sometimes i really just think of doing myself in, but then i remember i'm not a fan of burning in hell forever, so that plan has to be scrapped, too bad.
anyways, this morning some bluecare ladies came for a chat, and later a big box of pads arrived for me, so i'm all set for awhile.
after they left, mum took me to the loo then we set out for dr. mor's. i got to try that noisy chair! some magnetic chair thing that helps strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, or sth. i just read a gossip magazine and it felt my left bum was getting a massage.
we said hi to some doctors and nurses before leaving. i wanted to ring pole and ask her for lunch, but mum said i couldn't pester her till august, coz my best friend actually has a life unlike me and i can't disturb her. oh well.
got home, lunch was microwaveable lunches - actually quite good! and the n'healthy choices' brand too, so i'm in the all clear! mum had some tuna thing, me some chicken, pasta and white sauce. yummy. actually, i almost forgot - on thursday aunty vicky made us some fried soya sauce noodles. not bad!
so i hit the bed for an arvo snooze, mum washed some blankets and other things and also watched some TV. uncle colbert and samuel popped along, so more walking practice for me! but samuel is one lucky kid! back from camp in nsw on thursday, school decides,"let's give them friday off." wish i had it like that when i was still at school!

thursday post
argh, second time lucky. somehow i accidntly wiped my entire post! >< ah well.well, i got up around 9am, and tried some yummy instant porridge for breakkie. you don't need to microwave t, just poor boiling water over it. i had to beg mum for 1/10 of a teaspoon to put into it, when i'm well enough to do it on my own without killing myself, ><" i'll put how much it recommends, ONE teaspoon, not one-TENTH.
so off we trundled to the hospital. sadly, still no morning tea, but i've got a month of this left - i can't be THAT unlucky, can i?! just in case, fingers, toes, and all other appendages crossed!
so, at the day hospital, i was kicked off to BIRU- thanks to sarah, my favourite icecream nurse, who let us in! i bid a quick greeting to janelle and mrs. mouse, did a couple of stands with jayne, refused bob's offer of a double lobotomy, then, armed with a cane (and yes, i simply couldn't resist and very gently swiped it at both jayne and bob), we went for a long walk. we bumped ito and greeted helen (on lunch duties today) and allina. back inside the gym, mum came and rescued me - oh the SHAME, for some unknown reason i was wet >< usually if that happens, the staff will refuse to treat you, but thanks to jayne who was a sport and simply put some gloves on before continuing. before we left, we said hi to helen, shelley, amie and brendan. at home, aunty vicky came along and got me a lunch of a char siu bun and she cooked some very yummy shanghai stir-fry rice cake. she and mum also drank some 'teet guun yum' tea; i tried some too - quite nice! then i went happy napping. i woke up once to go for a pee in the commode/shower chair, while mum and aunty vicky happily yakked on. when she left, i thought she was driving a drag car coz of the sound; turns out the sound actually came from that idiot neighbour of ours. oh well. i think it best if we just leave each other alone.
well, i got up, watched the news and went to the loo before dad came home and we gobbled dinner together. uncle calvin came along; turns out his chinese name is DAK wing, not DUCK wing. and matthew is CHEE fung, not like my TSZ.
*sigh* oh well, exercise time again. i just wanna watch naruto before or after! good nite!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post
ok, first things first: today i walked 402 steps.
so i got up this morning, strangely my mum wouldn't gimme any tomato sauce with my bread and cheese, and i only got half a teaspoon at the VERY best of milo with my milk, but oh well. my life sucks. so what? get used to it.
aunty yvonne popped over as did aunty jenny who came with groceries. yay, yummy instant porridge for breakfast toms! hope i like it. i think it was honey flavoured too! a long walk and a couple of stands with her later, i settled down to a yummy morning tea of a sausage bun that aunty jenny had brought along. sadly we also had to have coloured hot water. i mean, lemme ask anyone reading this:is it a SIN to have a tea with TWO teaspoons of sugar? i admit, i never thought it was. but oh well.
so when they left, i hit the bed for an afternoon nap. uncle calvin came along to get mum to sign joey's passport photo, and a man came to drop off our new shower chair which comes with a pan, which i promptly gave it a try.
uncle colbert popped along, we did some knee work and left arm work before walking to the kitchen where i microwaved my lunch of yummy hokkien noodles which i ate at 5:40! haha, a late lunch, shall we say.
when uncle colbert left, mum cleaned away my pan and i watched 10's news before dad came home to watch the soccer. mum gave me a shower, and thanks to dad who put my shoes and socks back on.
so i'm blogging now, and it sounds like mum and dad have forgotten about me and are munching dinner. oh well, i'll go soon, i'm hungry too! oh yeah, and i'm in sparky 4.5 right now.
state of origin 2 tonight! from 7 or 7:30 tonight. dad's invited uncle yuktai over, and mum extended that invite to uncle colbert. dunno if he's coming though, but i hope so! i'm already kitted out in my maroon's jersey, ready to watch qld kick some ass! the only problem ... i wonder if it's ok i'm also in blue jeans. very un-queenslander of me. um... sorry? :P haha. the way i see it, either way there's gonna be a stupid blue's balloon popped tonight! and from what i remember 3 weeks ago, the blues don't know their own national anthem! whereas all the queenslanders sang proudly, so ha. boo the blues.
turns out my OT is busy and can't see me toms, so i'm free until physio at 11am. so i guess there'll be no morning tea, either. oh well. i just have to remember to ask my OT if she will make up the session she missed. she better!
righteo, 7pm now, so almost footy time! goodnite!
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. BOO THE BLUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yeah - i remembered we HAVE to win this one or we've kissed the series goodbye.
p.p.s. mum tells me my brain tumour was a neurocytoma. apparently they're really rare, like only 0.2% of people get it. yeah, lucky me. bleargh. ciao.

tUESDAY POST
OK, LET'S SEE ... LAST NIGHT WAS 120 STEPS, TODAY WAS ANOTHER 220 STEPS, SO ALL TOGETHER ... 340. eep, big apologies for the shrieking. lol, did you know i used to type apopalexies! haha. and i've got the hiccups (or is it hiccoughs?) now too. HELP!
well, got up nice and late this morning (oh, say around 9). i presume breakfast was some bread, jam and milk or milo, then off to daypatient's we went.whoops, thanks to mum who reminded me it was actually the most boring breakfast in the world, lol. confusion was that lynelle wasn't here! and she forgot to care about me, so i was kicked off to BIRU, where i spent a couple of mins chatting to shelley, amie and brendan. janelle eventually came to get me, then, armed with a cane which i happily swiped at janelle and bob but didn't DARE touch micky! we went for a walk. we bid a happy hello to habib who was passing along, and he asked what sort of trouble bob was causing THIS time. hehe, poor bob. but he says he's gonna gimme a double lobotomy soon, and seeing as his only past experience was a dead cat, you see why i don't have that much faith in him!
so i did my bum lifts after i got back in the gym, while janelle worked with helen and bob with jim. i couldn't do my arm exercises coz my arm was in a sling. before we left, we said bye to habib, shelley, amie, nurse amy, habib, alina and jim, then i remembered to ring pole!she just finished too, so we picked her up and went to warrigal road for lunch. pole was awesome and treated us to a snack pack, mum was cool too and bought us both choccie milks and a weird malt and honey one for her which didn't taste half bad, actually! i found that i actually liked calamari, then we drove pole home before returning ourselves. a nap afterwards, i got up to watch news before dinner when dad came home. i'm sleepy so ready for bed now - io just miss my bear bear and want to cuddle him! fingers crossed for a morning cuppa on thursday!
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. i think toms aunty yvonne and uncle colbert are popping over. oh well, therapies are my life, along with exercises. oh well.
p.p.s. toms night, there will be NO wearing of the colour blue allowed, do you hear me?GO QUEENSLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

queen's bday public holiday post
well, hello queen, hello and a very happy birthday! i've heard your real one was actually in april or sth, but i hope you enjoyed it. i wonder how old you are?
ok, first things firse: number of steps i walked today? 209 plus the 114 i did the night before? 313.
well, i was very happy to be able to go to hungry jack's for breakkie this morning! (and mum is humming josh groban's 'you raise me up'. aww, how cute. i had a bacon, egg and sausage wrap, mum had a steak and egg wrap. we both tried each others, and decided our own's was better. hehe. dad went for a classic bacon and egg muffin (hehe i almost typed MCmuffin, hehe), which i stole a bite of. mum took a bite out of my hash brown, fair enough considering dad stole ALL of mum's hash brown, hehe. hungry jack's has better breakkie if only if they serve it till 11:30; maccas only does till 10:30. anyways, off we went to ikea after that. we bought a few things, most notably a pillow for me and a little pink stool for mum. i wanted a blue one, but sadly there were none left, so dad will get one for me when it comes into stock, mum's promised. :)
so we came home, and i was too sleepy to have lunch, so i instead hit the bed for a long nap. when i got up, the whole cheung family popped over, and while mel read a book and sam played his DS, i did some PT with uncle colbert and OT with aunty winnie. so a walk, so raising left arm, some peg gripping and figurine holding. sam came to tell of a funny story of how he flushed (oh sorry, it was actually aunty winnie who told us the tale)of how uncle colbert flushed him down the loo! oh dear ... and it was actually a poem!
they stayed for arvo tea, mum and i had 3 sticks of yummy chocolate pocky, uncle colbert had 2, and aunty winnie, coz neither she nor aunty anne like chocolate ... i wonder if either of them were dropped on their heads as babies ... >< *wails* mum whacked me coz i said that :(" oh well, stiff upper lip.
when they left, i went for a shower, then i watched the news before having dinner.
ok, about time for me to head off into snoozeland! outpatient's toms, so wish me luck!
cheers,
em. ^^!

saturday and sunday post
heylo all! well i forgot to post last night, so i'll do the whole weekend now:
saturday: woke up, mum was at work, so i had the most boring breakfast in the world and waited for uncle wallace to arrive, meaning first session:OT. when he left, mum came back and neither of us can remember what we had for lunch. second session: PT. actually, vincent the physio came so late, that at 1:30 (he's supposed to come at 1pm) i said to dad"i'm going to bed. get me up when he gets there." he did come, and walking total for yesterday was 350 steps. when he left, i went for a nap. when i got up, a quick shower then off to uncle alan's (lun bak bak) and aunty hilda's place!aunty frances, hairy and little hairy were also there, as was aunty frances' older sister, but i forgot her name, sorry ^^"yummy korean bbq! when i finished, hairy, little hairy and i sat down to watch a naruto movie i haven't seen before, and they gave me their email addys. desert was yummy fungi pudding, and kiwi fruit, pears and mandarin. we left around 9 and i got home to bed, bye.
sunday:only 198 steps today. got up, forgot what breakfast was (although i presume some sort of bread and jam with milk or milo, then we went to church. dunno the speaker's name, sorry, but he spoke about following jesus. when all was done, i went home and we had 2 min noodles for lunch, before a napping for me. woke up, but mum was too busy to get me up so had another short snooze until she could. shared half an egg and ham bum with mum for arvo tea, along with a glass of milk.
woah! 9:24 now, am back from pole's hpouse for a lovely dinner. christy 'jie' :P was there too, if only because my favourite asian blonde left her keys in the house and needed rescuing from her parents who were having a nice night out in southbank! haha~~~
had some lovely congee with corn in it! i also congratulated uncle calvin for remembering the thousand-year-old egg - and what did he admit? "i didn't make the congee. my wife did." oh dear. ><
we played some table soccer afterwards, and also the piano. i asked pole if she had any desert, and we all enjoyed some lovely apples, mandarin and grapes. and how cool is this - they have a really cool apple peeler! joanne helped me give it a go, and i peeled my apple in one sinle long swipe! impressive, huh? :P
so i watched some grey's anatomy before going home; am finishing blog now. wonder if there's any hungry jack's breakfast toms, as promised ... i dunno, but wish me luck! hopes aren't up though. oh well.
righteo guys, have a great week! and thanks to pole who said she'd ring mum for a possible lunch date on tuesday, and about the new narnia movie - prince caspian - on wednesday.
good nite everyone!
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. will try for some naruto now.

friday post
yup, spam count for this week? 120. and steps for today? 533. so ... got up this morning. forgot what breakfast was, but it was with a cup of milo. then, more exercises until the ... i dunno? guy who fixes up our house came. can't remember his name, but it is on the short side. he put up a bar for me by the bed, but told mum he'd have to send in a carpenter to put a ramp up for me outside. aunty vicky the florist came, and we all enjoyed a lunch of yummy fried rice with soya sauce, so i guess it'll be with tomato next time. i went for a short nap afterwards, then the DSQ people came, claire and a guy called matthew. more talk, and i got an arvo tea of a slice of cheese, coz mum said bread was not allowed. beats me?
when they left i settled down to watch the news. dad came home, so off we went to the physio. hope he's doing better! one comfy massage later, we trundled home again, and i started watching ABC's 7:00 news as dad whipped up dinner. dinner all gobbled up, i'm now on the net, about to send an email to my physios concerning my walking progress. oh, also gotta watch naruto too!
so, shall see you toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. thanks to dad who's installed the speakers so i can now hear naruto. yay!

hmm ... steps today is 568. dad says i am due for more exercises soon (sigh), so i must type quickly.
well, i got up this morning, wolfed down some breakfast (oh, and i forgot to add, i asked mum to please keep an eye out for the instant microwaveable porridge at the supermarkets and to buy me some. a cold me needs warm food, see?) whoops, have finally remembered to close the bracket. ^^"yup, and went to day ospital. still no morning tea, sadly, but as i'll be here for 6 weeks surely it can't be all bad!
OT was first, my new therapist was called kate or katherine (one of those two, anyway). se asked me some questions and i told her about my goal to play 'twinkle twinkle' for my parent's 25th anniversary next year. that's in august, so wish me luck!
oops, and must speed up my one-finger typing, dad has warned i must stop for more exercises (another sigh) at 8pm.
so i had an hour's break before physio; i just sat there and read a "that's life" magazine. physio started at 11am, back in the BIRU gym, although jayne says i'll be back in the outpatient's gym starting next week. oh well, no biggie. we didn't really do anything except go for a long walk, during which bob complained my daks kept falling down. well, what do you expect, elastic pants! haha :P when we got back, i told them of the poem janelle had written me:
"there once was a girl at the PA
she went to the physio gym everyday
of all the physio mob
her favourite was bob
all the luck be with you as you go on your way." it's not bad, yeah? :)
anyways, that over, we went inside to say hi to everyone - and i saw linda! i miss her. turns out it was helen on lunch duties today. i also said hi to brendan and shellet before we left. mum asked after lee, and was told he was cooking in OT. oh well, next time.
we went home, and had our microwave lunches. i had the delicious creamy chicken carbonara, and mum tried the honey mustard chicken but didn't like it. i then went happy long napping.
got up hours later, watched the news, and when my beloved daddy was safely back we had dinner.
hmm, only 4mins left, so i guess i'll come back and watch naruto after i come back from more exercise (third sigh)
oh, i almost forgot! the stress ball trhat aunty winnie gave me, the one where you squeeze grapes,i'm proud to announce that my left hand tried its hardest (or is it 'her' hardest? haha, i dunno) and successfully squeezed out 5 grapes! yeah, go my stinky hand!
you'll hear from me again toms.
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. WOW, HOUSE WAS A WHOPPING 2HR LONG FINALE SPECIAL LAST NIGHT! COOL - BUT POOR HOUSE HAS A CRACKED SKULL, AND EVEN POORER WILSON LOST HIS (sorry, shrieking again><)4th or 5th wife. i just wonder, will the new season (coming late this year), net him yet ANOTHER wife? only time will tell. okies, byebye!

wednesday post
first things first: i walked 522 steps today.
well i got up this morning, had the usual breakfast and can't really remember what i did afterwards, except more exercises. aunty anne came over and brought us the very welcome lunch of a sushi roll each. mine was a yummy soya chicken, i think, and mum's was a sweet chilli one. when she left, i went for a nap at 1:30 and didn't get up till 4:30, when the phone rang. i spent some time counting numbers, each takes 2 seconds, and i'm usually asleep before i reach 2000. i can't do maths; someone who can please tell me how many mins that is. mum had to spend some time on the phone, before she got me up. i had the remaining tuna sushi roll along with a glass of milk for arvo tea, before settling down to watch the news. oh, and i forgot to add, afterwards i rang dad to ask him to buy some icecream home; coz today is my icecream day and i don't have any left in the house! ><
mum gave me a shower and dad came home; we had dinner soon after. oh, and i'm in the electric wheelchair right now.
anyways, i will try hard to watch all of house tonight, not get too sleepy and leave halfway through. wish me luck!
ooh, also fingers crossed for me going back to day hospital again toms. OT from 9-10, then an hour's break then PT from 11-12. i hope someone will bring me morning tea!
righteo, naruto toms night too!
off to check email now - will see you peoples toms.
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. *pouts?* whoever has my icecream, bring it out "*tries a growl*:P

tuesday post
well i got up this morning, can't remember what i had for breakfast, although i presume it was some sort of bread with jam and a cup of milo, before i headed off to the PA for my first ever outpatient's appointment. mum dropped me down and then went to the post office. i asked a nurse to take me to the loo; her name was julie, but she's not the 'boss' julie that i know. when we came out the lady told us to go to the BIRU gym, apparently outpatient's dep. had too many ppl already or sth. we went back, and turns out my physio for the day was lynelle. go me who remembered it was recently her son's bday! i think he's a lot younger than me though. i showed her my bum lifts, she taught me how to tighten my tummy muscles, and we did some other leg exercises before going for a short walk with another physio assistant whom i can't remember the name of, but which i'll call him 'bob'. :P thanks to mum who remembered his name was steven. but bob's tummy is bigger than his, anyway :P new thing of the day? we practised walking sideways. i then asked janelle to make sure bob wasn't sick on thursday too as he was today. her response? "i'll make sure he's here. else i'll FIRE him." aww, poor bob!well while doing my physio, i saw andy, so after asking permission, i yelled out, "hey, mr. ramke!" he came over and asked what "miss chan" was doing. when we finished, lynelle wheeled me back out to mum who had brought us subway for lunch! i'll get english/scvottish jayne on thursday, though. we rolled out to the dining hall, where i was very pleased to greet habib, who was doing lunch duties. i also said hi to shelley and brendan, who were enjoying sweet and sour chicken or roast pork salad. i also saw maragaret (telling her my ankles were well tucked in and hiding from her, haha :P) i saw orli too, who told me his poor grandaughter had jaundice and was yellow. she's better now, thankfully, but now it's his poor daughter's turn who has the flu. >< oh dear. almost forgot to add, we saw evelyn too! and lee, and james, whom we told to say hi to his mum when she arrived. poor jim, have i told you? poor jim is in hospital because some IDIOT punched him outside a nightclub.
as we left and i was waiting for mum to come back with the car, who should come to work but tom tom, the big cuddly bear nurse! he told me he was just back from holidays; apparently he went down to the lower states, then caught the train all the way west to perth! when i asked him how long that took, i think he answered, "oh, about 5 weeks."
so we went home, gobbled yummy subway for lunch, then i bedded down for a nap. when i got up, it was news time, then as mum grabbed me for more hand exercises, i watched today tonight about some idiot bimbo girl who was expelled from her ten grand a year private school because she had the wrong stockings on! oops, make that twenty grand, and it didn't help that she was failing most of her subjects too!
dad came home, and we gobbled our dinner, before i watched ABC's 7:00 news. then, parents made me cycle bike again, so i'm trying very hard to resist saying my favourite phrase. after biking, i walked to the computer. cool total today - i walked 624 steps! yeah, go me. ^^ should tell aunty a, who tried to draw me a dorameon (i like the name 'ding dong' better)on the whiteboard. i drew an angel me and a stick her, saying "oops, i squashed aunty a. sorry!" hehe i hope she won't see next week and kill me!
okies, off to bed now. i'm being kept company by my state of origin bear 'soo', coz poor lousise haqs fallen asleep on the table.
okies, g'nite everyone! see you toms!
cheers,
e m. ^^
p.s. oh dear, big bad problem toms. traditionally wednesday is my icecream day, but we have none in the house *wails?* what'll i doo??? :(
p.p.s. also must remember to send emails to the few people who left me their emails. that's lee and mrs. stewart, may, amie and the other amy. and congrats to amie who's finally getting the tube taken out! coz we saw her mum as we left.

monday post
yeah ... today i walked 400-odd steps. so i got up, breakfast was dad's big chunky bread with margarine and jam. whoops, breakfast didn't occur until 11:30! more standing exercises and hand exercises followed, before lunch was a yummy hardboiled egg with some soy sauce and rice. dad brought them home from baby leslie's celebration - apparently, they're only supposed to be for people without kids? oh, sorry that was for the rubber squeaky duck. so after lunch i had a nap, then i got up to watch the news and have a shower. oh, i amostforgot! in the arvo, a woman from ABIOS came to have a chat with us. her name is claire, and she had some homemade soup for lunch. also, her husband's polish and is a 2nd yr med student, meaning he's frantically studying now for sem one exams. good luck to him!
well, when dad came home we had dinner, then i watched ABC's news, before mum and dad decided to make me pedal the bike for what seemed like forever, but was prolly really only 20mins.
anyways, i go back to outpatient's starting toms - only physio, from 11-12, with jayne - well, i thought it was with jayne, but it's actually some new one. hope she doesn't eat me!
righteo, see you guys again toms. i hope everyone enjoyed the first day of winter yesterday!
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. oh cool, lookee me - i got through the whole post without once using my favourite phrase! haha~~

sunday post
well, i've finally given up on typing the x's with my post - i'm up to like 5 or 6 (or 7 or 8, but hey).
i presume breakfast was bread with jam plus a cup of milk or milo (mum says i'm only allowed one a day - i'm not sure why, coz only hot milo makes you gain weight. )
off we trundled to church - today's speaker was ron, i think. sorry, can't remember what he spoke about, except that he told a 3 little pigs story, but that in the end, it was ASLAN of narnia who saved them. yeah, go the lion!
anyways, CAG was cancelled coz they all had exams, so we went home. mum made me bike for 20mins first (meaning my poor thighs are incredibly tired. oh well. my life sucks. like i said last entry? get the hell used to it. lunch for us was some yummy 2min noodles (nissan brand) before i went afternoon napping with mum while dad went to baby leslie's party down at the glen hotel. he returned with a plastic rubber squeaky duck (which i love but annoys the hell out of mum :P) and an egg. dunno if i'll get to eat it though. hope so!well when i got up, i went and did a poo, before ringing aunty a and inviting her over for dinner. dad came back from baddy, saying b1 was absent (i think it's the uni exams)aunty a arrived - originally she was going to bring some vegetable, but instead she brought some yummy tofu thing with dipping sauce, of which i happily gobbled 3. mum also made some really yummy mixed vegies with sliced up frankfurts, of which i took quite a few swpoonfuls. yuuuuuuuuuum :) dad took me to the loo afterwards, and i'm waiting till after dinner when we can have a tim tam each for desert. anyways, i'll go back as an outpatient starting tues and thurs. hope it turns out good!
and before i forget, must remeber to keep my left thumb not tucked into my fist, coz if i succeed all week, mum will take me to hungry jacks for brekkie next monday!
ok, email checking time and naruto watching time, if mum doesn't drag me off for MORE exerises *sigh* just for the record, if she makes me walk again, i start on 111, coz up until now today i've done 110. apparently the average person walkks 10 000 steps a day, so i've got some serious catching up to do!
righteo, au revoir peoples! have a good week, and good luck with exams! remember, no studying or stressing TOO hard!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. OOPS I FORGOT. SPAM COUNT FOR THIS WEEK? 204. byeeeeeeeeee!^^
