ok, so the spam, count for the weekend is somwhere in the high 70s or low 80s, and today i plodded 9275 steps.
a bit of trouble to report last night, actually. mum slapped me really hard in the lower face, and i retaliated by yanking her hair. then she made me walk back to the bathroom by myself, with no assistance at all. personally, i'm just proud to report that i clung for dear life to my walk belt, and didn't fall over!!^^
ok, so got up this morning. parents FORCED me to walk just to the door, where i took a seat. mum gave me a container to spit out my splint, and gave me a glass of water to drink. remember, you HAVE to hold it by the EAR. then parents FORCED me to walk out to the car, where off to church we tootled. speaker today was donald chan, and he continued his talk on the gospel of mark. there was communion afterwards, and i gotta remember, i gotta ask charlsy what song he played for silent prayer coz it sounded really nice! i didn't recognise the song name, though. i needed to go pee afterwards, so mum FORCED me to walk to the loo and FORCED me to walk back out. turns out that there was no bible study coz poor aunty a is sick! oh well ... i had better remember to pray to percy the angel and ask him to look after her.
so, we chatted for awhile. i told christy about my goal for mum and dad's 25th wedding anniversary, and our resident OT promptly grabbed my hand and started assessing it, or sth. then mum FORCED me to walk back to the car. once dad popped in too, we went to plaza. there, parents FORCED me to walk inside, and i caught the elevator down. we sat down, and were soon joined by aunty connie (a postie - well, she works there, but doesn't deliver any mail, as such. but kerry did for like 8 years, until she got sick. actually, that's why she bought sammy in the first place - and uncle simon (another computer guy! wow, we sure have lots of them!). so dad bought a 2 piece feed, and i tried the new KFC snackbox! it's got popcorn chicken, cheese and corn. heaps yummy! oh, and potato and gravy too. dad demanded some popcorn chicken, so i demanded he recipricate :P so i got 3 wee chippees in the end. mum got that asian 3 veg 2 meat thing, and kindly got me a pudding milk tea too, coz i stood during worship. i gotta say though, the soup that came with it was DEE-S-GUSTING! hehe, i guess i just much prefer the chicken and sweetcorn soup you sometimes get with it. forgot to add, dad FORCED me to walk to and FORCED me to walk back out to where we were sitting, after getting our lunches. then, parnts FORCED me to walk back out to our car, where home we tootled. once there, parents FORCED me to walk in. i went to the loo first, then was FORCED to walk back to my room, where i was put down for a nap to await kerry's arrival. actually, just b4 she came, when mum was having her pig time :P and dad was vacuuming, i woke up and called dad, coz i needed to go pee. so thanks to dad who got me the bedpot. kerry came, mum and dad left for baddy - hey, should i go next week too? - and kerry gave me a shower first. no hairwash today, i don't think. i also went to the loo and put on my uggies, then we did some hand exercises (grape ball, opening and closing, therband -kerry calls that the 'pull-down':P - b4 we settled down to watch the news. i was a bit worried that parents didn't ring when they finished baddy, as mum had promised; turns out dad had hung up the phone while i was enjoying some pig time and had forgotten to put it back down. so parents came back, then mum forced me to bike pedal. it's official, she owes 20000 now. i'll try to report more accurately for now on, though. so after i biked, mum dragged me a walking - to the loo :P yeah, i needed to pee again. so we said our bye and thanks to kerry,then went back for dinner, which for me, was rice, some wombok, a piece of carrot and a small chunk of beef and chicken. mum and dad had prawns too. anyways, i got on at 7:32, which means i can stay on till 9:32. no idea when mum will make up the time she's promised to me. hopefully not when pigs fly! so, will go send aunty a a get well e-card, read some news and watch an episode of naruto. hope you all have a fantastic week ahead!
cheers,
em. !^!^
P.S. oh, and i want to see if i can download finale notepad as well. last i remembered, it was free. ciao! (umm ... is that spanish?)

saturday post4and friday post 5
ok... yesterday i plodded 2659, and today i plodded 8050.
so i got up this morning. dad forced me to walk out to the gobbling table, where he really nicely made me some ham and eggs on toast, with a cup of plain milk. as expected, none of my prayers were answered as uncle wallace arrived. first session:OT. meaning that next saturday, he is NOT welcome. i can put up with it if i have to, but certainly not every week. doesn't my life suck enough already?
so, when he left, mum came home, and after making me walk in and out of the loo, we settled down for lunch, last night's leftovers. yummy! second session followed:PT. vincent told me he had eaten noodles for lunch. so we walked 3 1/2 rounds of the house, i think. and almost forgot! dad let me try some of his super-strong milk tea. great!
so, he left and kerry came. a shower first - hairwash today - then yummy arvo tea of a hot milo and a custard harsiu bing. we started on exercises after, and my life really DOES suck. why? i asked her if any of her other patients did as much (or more, or less) exercise like i did. her response? "nah. you're the ONLY one who has to do ANY" ah well. it sucks, get the HELL used to it. so that was followed by more piano practise, b4 a quick trip to the loo, then ten news, followed by sport's tonight then seven's 6pm news. reader was sharyn ghidella. mum woke up from her snorings :P and kindly fed me a piece of cheese. the instant the sports news was over, mum ordered "bike time." she still point blank refuses to do any herself. anyway, she now owes 19 500 rotations. she'll do it when pigs fly, i guess. lol.
so i signed the paper for kerry and we said our bye and thanks. she left as dad came home. then mum forced me to walk another 4 laps b4 we watched riverfire! i was dissapointed that there were so few blue ones, coz there were heaps of red (dad's fav colour) and green (mum's fav colour), but mum was a darling and dedicated the silver/gold ones to me too :)
so, mum and i just filled out our camp forms. i hope i'm still in time for the early bird rego! i mean, you save 5 bucks :P
oh! almost forgot to tell what happened last night!so, mum and dad's 24th anniversary, yeah? i asked kerry to buy a card for me so i filled it out thurs arvo (complete with some readable chinese! lol, i am good. :P ) so dad comes home. parents force me to walk out to the car, where off to cafe mi we trundled. parents forcedme to walk in once we got there, then yummy dinner! dad had a B meal - spicy eggplant rice :s while i went for the much more delicious A meal - ham with egg in tomato rice. dad had his with a hot milk tea, i with a cold one. mum just poured herself a glass of water and gobbled ours. i admit, i tried some of the spicy eggplant with rice - YUK! haha
i gave mum and dad their card during dinner. when we finished, parents made me walk all the way to the coffee club. we took a break just outside the sliding doors, as mum went to get herself a jacket. cheeky me and dad decided to feign sleep- so when mum came back, there we were, happily SNORING :P of course, the smart woman wasn't fooled. so she SLAPPED us both awake (only joking, haha!) then parents finished forcing me to walk to the coffee club, my silly left ankle hurting up a STORM!i sat down once we got there. uncle ching was there, and he got us 2 hot chocolates. 2 hot chocolates for 3 ppl - you do the maths. he was followed by aunty karen and uncle albert, who's a computer guy that works at TAFE, then uncle tyrone and uncle peter ko, who had shaved his HEAD! wow :P so we chatted awhile, b4 i was made to walk back to the car. home, i was forced to walk in, brush teeth, loo trip, then back for snoring time!
bye! hope to see most of yous at church toms! also hope aunty a is better too, she declined our offer of dinner tonight.off to send my weekly report to the physios - bye!
cheers,

thursday post5
yo! :) um, i plodded 8267 steps today. goddee, the good week is continuing!
anyways, was happy to note that when dear dad kissed me good bye this morning, he gave my newest bear a peck on the cheek too! to read more about him, head over to my LJ in about half an hr's time.
anyways, went to the pot first :P then mum made me walk out to the gobbling table :P where breakfast was porridge with a lil dollop of honey. originally, i had asked mum to take me wandering around the PA, but she said i got up too late to do that. oh, say around 11:30 :P then she offered to take me wandering at kuraby park, but it was my turn to refuse as i wouldn't go without company. so mum piped a phone call to aunty anne, who said very graciously she'd accompany us. so, mum forced me to walk out to the car, where off to kuraby park we tootled. to be honest, i'm not sure if mum even bothered to put my wheelchair in the boot, but oh well.
so we got to kuraby park and mum gave me my stick, so out i got and hobbled around. we sat down, then got up and hobbled some more, repeat repeat repeat. finally time to go, i limped back to the car - my ankle hurting up a storm! - but a big thankee to aunty anne who fed me a yummy green tea bikkie!mm ... i think i'll add that to my christmas wishlist. so we said our byes and tootled home. once there, mum forced me to walk inside and i started on my lunch of yummy tuna and onion on toast! gosh, i really have been craving for that for quite some time!then, ding dong! leanne came, from some 'parents with disabled kids' assosciation. we had a bit of a chat, and i showed her my newest teddy. then the doorbell rang again - kerry this time. actually, she's just bought a new dog bed for sammy. i hope he likes! anyways, she gave me a shower first - hair wash today, i think! then i tucked into my arvo tea of porridge. all gobbled :P time for physio! mum forced me to walk out to kerry's car, and off we tootled to vincent's. he had me walk in, and gave me a massage. so me soft like tofu flower now, i admit :Pb4 we went home, i had kerry take me to the newsagency. she had the total of $3.50 - from an instant scratchie, i think it was - so i picked up a blank card, although she's promised to get me a real one b4 she pops along toms. i hope she can too!so, once home, mum forced me to walk inside. i went to the loo first, b4 being made to walk over to the tele, where we watched 7's 6:00 news. the moment the sport's news was done, mum forced me to bike pedal a few hundred rotations. as said previously, she'll owe 20 000 by sunday ifshe keeps it up.
so i signed the paper for kerry, said our bye and thanks. then mum made me walk over to sparky and forced me to use my left hand ONLY to practise piano for, oh, agood quarter of an hour. dad came home, and we sat down to gobble our dinner. rice, with a few pieces of broccoli, a piece of carrot and a piece of chicken. i topped mine up with a cup of pear juice and i tootled back online. well, correction: i tootled back online after mum made me walk in, then while i eas peeing, DELIBERATELY moved my chair all the WAY back to the TV, so she could make me walk back there. so, the updated new step count is:8267! tis looking good, certanly!
so, i only plan to watch naruto and read the news. think vincent the physio will come toms. no biggie. i'll only have to walk 3 rounds with him if i keep my head up and facing the right all the time. i can do that! anyways, stay tuned for toms - it'll be an extra special post! actually, it may have to wait till the day after. keep your eyelids peeled! :P

ok, the new total for tonight is 3396. yay, tis definitely looking good!
so, ursula came and gave me a nice hot shower, no hair wash today. she then fed me the arvo tea of a pear - i saved her the last slice - and a nice cup of tea with a spoonful of honey in it. she takes hers black, no sugar. i also had a toasted cheese sandwhich, of which ursula failed a little and put the cheese everywhere. but fair's fair ... i mean, i ran over her with sparky (i didn't MEAN to, honest! :P ) and she hit me in the mouth just before she gave me a shower. so we're even. hopefully no more incidents next wednesday! mum went out to see ... aunty joanne, i think it was? and ursula and i started on some hand exercises, then piano practise, both hands. mum came back to make me finish practising, before ursula took me to the loo once and we settled down for the news. once the sport's news was over, mum refused to bike pedal herself and made me do it instead. remember, she'll owe 20 000 by sunday! so i said bye to ursula, signed the sheet for her. good news - she'll be coming both next wednesday and the wed after! 7:41, and dinner time! be back soon!
7:54 now, and i've gobbled dinner and had a cup of watered down pear juice. so, i sat and watched the ABC news until dear dad came home, then we sat down to eat dinner. rice tonight, with some cauliflower, a bit of cooked salmon, a small piece of chicken and one fairly big mushroom. a full tummy is a happy tummy!
anyways, i don't plan to do much but read some news. i wonder if mum will take me to the PA toms to practise walking? if not, oh well. and i think some lady from ABIOS is coming for a chat toms. that's alright. but every night i make sure to say the "if i am seperated from my parents thing" once every night. i don't think i'll have to repeat myself, but in case the lady threatens me with it toms, i will definitely remember to put it out once. but it should be alright ...
righteo, cya toms!
cheers,

P.S. i've just nagged dr. lee about a packet of tim tams for me as an xmas/22nd bday pressie. fingers crossed! hehe :P

wednesday post4
ok, so i plodded 2775 steps today. the good week is progressing. :) anyways, i woke up this morning. mum forced me to walk out to the gobbling table :P where i had the most boring breakfast in the world :P with a cup of plain milk. aunty yvonne rang to say she could make it, just late coz she had an electrician/plumber/whatever over fixing up her home. so she came, and we all had lunch first. thanks to mum who cooked us delicious hokkien noodles - real ones! i had mine with a glass of plain milk, they with a cup of hot tea. mum kindly gave me a lil bit of seconds after i gobbled down my first bowl. lunch over, time to get to work!
aunty yvonne got me walking - i took a quick detour to the loo first - then we even practised walking sideways! not too bad, although my silly left leg has the tendency to crash into the wall >< anyways, that all done, we said our thanks and bye to aunty yvonne. but how cool is this? she gifted mum and i with a carton of eggs - laid by her own CHICKENS.yumyum! i'll haveta remember to ask dad if he can make us eggs'n'ham for brekkie on sunday, or even saturday if uncle wallace HAS to come. meh. so, after she left, mum grabbed me for a good half hour - 50mins of OT left hand exercises, e.g. picking up the mahjong, sticky balls, etc. followed by lifting the left hand up, or raising it sideways, b4 finally slotting in that dratted password so i could access the net. :P ursula should be here soon, meaning i won't get my full 2hrs worth, but i think mum said she'd give it back to me tonight. anyways, i think arvo tea is to be accompanied by a cup of hot ovaltine this time, as it was hot milo yesterday and a cup of hot tea the day b4. hmm... must ask mum to keep an eye out on the nesquik for me. i'd LOVE a chocolate can!
a last note, before ursula gets here and i'm told to get off:today my nose has been a dreadful, all-out FAILURE. i had mum kindly pop me a telfast this morning ... it didn't work. at ALL. >< so i sneezed, snuffled, and honked (meaning blew) my nose all morning. it's practically 3pm now, and it still hasn't stopped ! ugh ... why??? heeeeelp><
anyways, ursula's here now, so i'll be back online tonight, and back blogging toms arvo!
cya!

ok, woke up this morning, mum made me walk ot to the gobbling table :P aunty joanne came, and breakkie for me was a susage bun. then mum forced me to walk to the car, and off to the PA we tootle. once we got there, mum made me walk uphill to the day hospital, where i started wandering along the parallel bars with linelle. joe helped. we then did some walking without the bars, linelle at my side and joe at the back. physio over, mum and aunty joanne went to pick me up, and after swapping back to sparkless, off to lunch we rolled. aunty joanne picked up a chicken and avocado sandwhich, while mum was a champ and picked up fish, chips and gravy for us, with an orange juice for her, and a chocolate milk for me :) i admit, i didn't like it though, coz the gravy had WAY too much pepper. ick ><" lol, oh well. so jane kindly let me sign my plaster and then we made another appointment to see them in 3 weeks time for my new splint. so, we rang kerry, and off we rolled home. mum made me walk in once we got there, to be shortly followed by kerry, who gave me a shower first. hair wash today - and i need anti-dandruff shampoo! arvo tea was a yummy custard bun plus a cup of hot milo and a slice of cheese. we then did some hand exercise (ie squeeze grape ball 100x, open and close hands, etc.). kerry gave both arms a massage - the left one complained that oh, how it HURT! we then settled down for the news. almost forgot - aunty anne kindly popped along to give us some drumsticks - yum! thanks :) mum woke up, made me bike pedal a couple of hundred cycles - remember, i said that if she keeps this up, she'll owe 20000 by sunday. then she forced me to plod a few rounds. i signed the sheet for kerry and said thanks - apparently it'll be ursula comin g toms!
anyways, i haven't been on anywhere near 2 hrs yet, but mum has she'll make it up to me! she had better! *mock growl* :P so, think i'll go get my daily dose of news, then hit the sack for some snoring time. think aunty yvonne is coming toms. no biggie. but i hope mum will cook yummy hokkien noodles if she does have to come. yumyumyum! i just wonder, what will she cook it with?
cheers,

ok, woke up this morning, mum made me walk ot to the gobbling table :P aunty joanne came, and breakkie for me was a susage bun. then mum forced me to walk to the car, and off to the PA we tootle. once we got there, mum made me walk uphill to the day hospital, where i started wandering along the parallel bars with linelle. joe helped. we then did some walking without the bars, linelle at my side and joe at the back. physio over, mum and aunty joanne went to pick me up, and after swapping back to sparkless, off to lunch we rolled. aunty joanne picked up a chicken and avocado sandwhich, while mum was a champ and picked up fish, chips and gravy for us, with an orange juice for her, and a chocolate milk for me :) i admit, i didn't like it though, coz the gravy had WAY too much pepper. ick >
anyways, i haven't been on anywhere near 2 hrs yet, but mum has she'll make it up to me! she had better! *mock growl* :P so, think i'll go get my daily dose of news, then hit the sack for some snoring time. think aunty yvonne is coming toms. no biggie. but i hope mum will cook yummy hokkien noodles if she does have to come. yumyumyum! i just wonder, what will she cook it with?

monday post ... 3?
hey! 7:48pm now, and i've had dinner. i might add, b4 tea time, dad decided to make me do standing exercises and not only did he move the chair away, he forbid me to talk too! >< ah well... my life sucks. just go get used to it. lol... so, in my head, i counted 9 mins 40 secs b4 my knees were allowed to buckle into a chair. i think that's a new record, guys! haha!
so, with kerry, she gave me a hand massage, we plodded on the piano awhile, and we watched the news. i've already said mum made me bike pedal for awhile - i can't be bothered to tell you how much she owes now, except it should be 20 000 by sunday. lol. so, after dinner, mum will force me to walk to the bathroom, and back to the bed. toms i've got physio with linelle at 11, then we're either going to have lunch with or drive aunty joanne home, before my P&O appointment at 3, which is why mum says to kerry don't come till i ring you. whoops, i realised i forgot to add the 89 steps i did after kerry left. brb!cool - back now. and grand total for monday is 3074. yeah - a good start to the week!
ok, just chatting to vince on MSN right now. think i will check out the news and the rugby league results. alrighteo, cyas toms!
cheers,

hi! ok, so i plodded 2985 steps today. lol, and i was so close to 3 grand!
anyways, i got up about the same time as when aunty wendy came. i went to the loo first, then mum made we walk out to the gobbling table :P breakfast was a piece of toast with a little marg and strawberry jam, and a cup of plain milk. that done, mum forced me to walk a few laps before she left for lunch with aunty tiffany. aunty wendy stayed with me to watch 7's morning news, then i had lunch too - the last of mum's yummy pasta. as usual, i ate all the tomatoes and carrots first - thanks to aunty wendy who helped me pick them out - b4 tucking into the pasta and chicken. yum- i hope mum makes it again soon! i also had a cup of milo too, b4 going to the loo once. we started on some theraplaydough :P exercise, and yay! dear daddy came home to microwave his lunch. he gave me a kiss b4 leaving. i love him SO much!^^ he left, and we kept exercising until mum came home. oh, and i forgot! thanks to aunty wendy who let me drink some of her yummy fungi and pork soup!so mum came home, we said thanks and bye to aunty wendy, then mum forced me to walk another 8 or so laps b4 letting me sit back down. actually, i admit to idiocy - i fell down while i was walking. but thanks to mum who got me back up, then she tried her 'stand by yourself' thing and made me stand by myself. like last time, i took things into my own hands and stumbled for my chair once 5 mins had past. coz i refuse to do the whole 8mins plus thing again! anyways, then mum turned the net on and put in the password so i culd access the net. i still don't know the password, but i suspect it's got my name and the no. 4 in it. oh well. anyways, i spent 7 mins checking email, then i came to blog. kerry should be here very shortly, so i'll finish my net time tonight. anyways, going to read the news now. hope everyone has a fantastic week!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. turns out mum and aunty tiffany were going to the manor for yum cha (ick!^^") but it was closed for cleaning or sth, so they went to 'green tea house' - say that in canto - instead. mm ... i want to go their some day. maybe next year, with smelly. grrr ... i'm all hungry again! ><

sunday post
ok, the spam count for this weekend is 74, and i plodded 4037 steps. yippee, me went all the way past 4 grand!
so, got up this morning. dad made me walk to the gobbling table :P, where breakkie was a piece of plain bead with a little marg and strawberry jam. then dad mad me walk out to the car, where off to church we tootled.parents made me walk in when i got there. speaker today was donald, and he talked about the gospel of mark, the smallest/shortest gospel book in the bible. no communion today, and after he finished, i needed to pee, so mum forced me to walk in and made me walk back out afterwards. we chatted to a few ppl, then mum forced me to walk out, and after waiting for dad to come back down, we tootled off to uncle eddy's for bible study. parents forced me to walk in when got there, and today i think we did genesis chapter 46. genesis has 50 chapters in it, so we should be done in about a month's time. one of the questions aunty a asked was, "how would you feel if you were joseph?" charlsy's answer was considerably more gentle han mine, i amit. i said i'd hug them, then bonk them on the head, then hug them again, forgive them, then bonk them again on the head. HARD. ^^ ANYWAYS, KERRY'S HERE, SO I'LL COME BACK ON TONIGHT. TIME IS NOW 3:03 pm. and eep, but sorry, shrieking!
ok, time is now 7:59, no, make that 8:00pm, and i'm back! so, when kerry got here, she gave me a shower first - hair wash today - then put me in my PJs and uggies. arvo tea was a sausage bun plus a cup of hot milo and a pear. then we did some piano practise plus some hand exercises (ie squeeze ball) b4 settling down to watch the news. dad went to baddy and said hi to B1 for me. how cool is this - her bday is 5 days after mine! so mine's 20th march, she's 25th. lol, that makes her exactly 3 years and a month after charlsys, who bday is on feb 25th. umm... i think B2's is in oct, but whether the 15th, the 18th, the 30th or the 31st i'm not sure... ^^"
mum woke up from pig-land :P to make me go on the very exy exercise bike uncle colbert kindly lent us - it costs like 7 or 8 grand! woah... :P so hands first, for 500+ rotations, then legs for 13:59, i think, mum snapping at me all the while to keep the power of my legs even, coz the machine noted that the right leg was doing more work than the left. so while i was hard at work exercising, she signed the sheet for kerry and we said our thanks and bye. dear dad came home, and we tucked into dinner:the last of the 4-star mince with tomato and onion, fish, and some bok choy. i then had half a cup of water and half of yummy pear juice, b4 asking mum to turn on the computer and let me on. thanks to mum who put the password in so i could access it, but i note she's still happily ignoring me on finding out how to add me so i won't need her to type it lotsa times... ah well, me life sucks, get used to it! lol...
anyways, wishing everyone an awesome week ahead. if you've time free, why not 1. find me for lunch or 2. check out my LJ! it's at www.taleofepic3.livejournal.com anyways, i'm going there now to write about my newest present - from kerry! then prolly off to find some news/naruto. hmm... i can't recall if it's frances or wendy coming toms. frances, i think. oh well, cya!
cheers,

saturday post4
yo!, ok, i plodded 3880 steps today. yeah - me passed 3 grand today!
so, half my prayers were answered today - uncle wallace didn't turn up for OT, yay!meaning i slept all the way till mum came back from work. i got up, went to the loo, then mum forced me to walk outside to the gobbling table:P where my brunch was some of that chicken pasta with tomatoes , carrots and chicken. then mum hit the bed for some pig time :P and vincent the physio rang and said he would be late. actually, kerry came first and did some hand exercises with me first (ie grapey squeeze ball, opening and closing the left hand, etc.) vincent came eventually, so first and only session for me today:PT. we walked 3 rounds mostly. but i gotta tell you - his offer almost beats aunty a's! i mean, she's said if i can walk by myself within a year, she'll shout both dad and i to a broncos match, but vincent the physio ... if i walk again, it'll be a whole day of eating! he's said: maccas breakfast, dumplings and shallot pancake for lunch, and peking duck for dinner! lol, my tummy is yelling hungriness already :P
so, after he left, kerry gave me a shower - no hair wash today-, then put me back in my uggies for awhile. arvo tea was a pear - i saved her the last slice - a toasted cheese sandwhich and a cup of hot tea. with a tablespoon of honey. beautiful :) we did some more hand exercises, and went to practise piano a bit. mum came down and made me do more left hand, so i didn't get to play my 2nd page of songs today. >< oh well, i guess if she makes me do it toms, i could always start from the second page. then a quick trip to the loo b4 news time!after the sports news, mum made me pedal bike - she now owes 13000 rotations - then even made me do arm bike. oh well. but i thought it a bit unfair - usually i only have to do 500 rotations, not 690! ah well, my life sucks. get the hell used to it! while my arms where having a go, she signed the sheet for kerry and we said our thanks and bye. back in sparky, i had the last of the pasta for dinner - mum promises to use spam ham next time!- and a cup of pear juice, b4 trundling over to the net. ok, i should have been on the net the proper time by about 9:30pm. i'm just gonna go send a quick email to pole. hope to see most of yous at church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. oops. almost forgot to tell you what happened last night at UF! speaker was shane mccarthy - i laughed at him, saying my cane could beat his crutches :P hailey took worship, and i think? janice played piano. or christy. then shane took over and gave us all 10 pieces of paper, saying we had to write the ten most important things to us. mine were:
1. mum
2. dad (then i wrote"i love him the most!")
3. grandma
4. bear bear
5. giant
6. my ability to walk (or hobble)
7. music
8. food (followed by an "i'm ALWAYS hungry!^^")
9. the books i love to read
10. anime and manga
then shane told us a story about how we came under attack and lost things one by one. lol, at one point he added that the evil new south welshman decided to capitalise on our misfortune and plundered us too >< at that pointe, i wailed out to him, "oh come on, shane, you're leaving me DESTITUTE!" except the evil man only laughed, then how cool is this? uncle PHILLIP, took a last stand! we could join him, so in the end, i escaped with only my beloved dad with me. i hope mum and grandma don't mind! we then split up for group time. dora was at some RICE thing again, so janice took it this time. she and pole helped me to hobble in, and afterwards, there was even supper! so i got: one tim tam, one of my favourite lemon bikkies, a cup of aloe vera drink and an egg roll. but thanks to pole who got me a cup of water after i realised my egg roll contained traces of nuts in it >< luckily, no swollen lips this time! phew. pole then helped me to walk back out to my car, where mum, dad and the car were waiting. i said thanks and bye, promising to send hr an email regarding our parent's 25th wedding anniversary, and we tootled home. parents forced me to walk in once we got home; mum gave me a pocky and a glass of milk, i brushed my teeth, peed and hit the bed. nite!

friday post5
hi! ok, so i plodded 4722 steps today.
woke up, went to the loo, then mum forced me out to the gobbling table :P breakfast was only a glass of milk, b4 mum made me walk out to the entrance, ready to go out. bad news - the phone rang. twas aunty joanne, calling off our park date coz it was raining >< oh well, maybe next time. mum forced me to walk back to the gobbling table :P where i had my real breakfast of some pasta. not bad, i think it had chicken, tomatoes and carrots in it. mum got the idea of giving a container of the pasta to aunty joanne ad tammy each, so she rang them and they said yes. so mum then made me walk to the car, where off we trundled. aunty joanne's place first, then aunty tammy's. i wanted to see baby lesley (he's 6 months old now!) so mum made me walk uphill to their frontdoor. aunty tammy kindly placed a plastic bag down on the chair, so i could sit down without getting a wet bum :P then she brought little mr. ho out! he's ao cute! mum cuddled him for awhile, then i asked to hold him too, so mum plopped him in my lap. as promised, i only pinched his cheeks - mega gently!- once, and tickled his feet. when it was time to go, i asked for permission - and got- to give him a kiss on the cheek. so we said our byes, and mum forced me to walk back down to the car, my silly left ankle hurting up a storm. we drove home, listening to jacky - mum's somehow managed to misplace my precious westlife CD O_o. we got home, but i needed to pee, so mum made me walk in and forced me to walk to the computer afterwards. then, she made me stand by myself for 5 mins, all weight on the left only. actually, i took matters into my own hands after 5 mins, grasping the handle of sparky and stumbling around to sit down. i then waited for mum to turn on the computer and put in that inferno password so i could access the net. so, will go read the news when i'm done. actually, dear dad's just rung us, he's bringing some exercise bike back home or sth. and oh, if mum forces me to pedal that many rotations again, i note that she now owes 13000 rotations. lol, but i'll expect she'll do it when pigs fly :P
anyways, looking forward to UF tonight! dora will be away, but i'm sure we'll still have a productive session!
right, time to send my weekly report to the physios!
cheers,
em. ^!^
P.S. hmm... i didn't get lunch, but mum says arvo tea will be the pasta i had for breakfast. aww, but i want more food! oh well. laters!

thursday post4
hi... ok, i plodded 2750 steps today.
anyways, got up, used the pot, then mum forced me to walk to the gobbling table :P breakkie was a piece of toast with a bit of marg and strawberry jam, and a glass of plain milk. mum then made me walk to the car, where off to little taipei we trundled! mum forced me to walk in when she got there, and seeing as i needed to pee she made me walk to the loo and forced me to walk back out. so... after many months of craving, i finally got my chicken spaghetti meal! with garlic bread and a bowl of chicken and sweetcorn soup. yuuuuuum ^^ leanne had some bleeding medium rare steak with spaghetti meal o_O while mum went the exy option and chose a meal with all 3 pieces. i just stole a lil piece of pork, that's all. :P leanne chose a plain milk tea, while i went for a more fancy pudding milk tea. had to ask mum to help me rip open the plastic lid so i could get to the ice in the end, though. :P but stupid me >< i definitely have to listen to smelly next time and share one with her, coz i ate too full, and after i choked and coughed, i puked >< but mum made me walk back to the car, i said thanks and bye to smelly, telling her lunch next time is her choice. i think she chose sushi. sounds good to me!
so we trundled back home. mum forced me to walk in, where i went to the loo, then she made me stand for 4mins + b4 she let me online. what can i say? apart from the usual/the obvious ... no comment. 'nuff said.
well, it's a thurs so i plan to find me some naruto. ok, see you guys toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. just rang dear dad and asked him to buy some bread for us, coz we're about out. will go find some naruto to read now and watch too, coz it's thurs! think ursula's coming this arvo. she's divorced -her ex hubby took the dog - and has a boy and a girl, both older than me. the girl is married and lives up north, where she and her hubby have a licence to shoot kangaroos. i think she said she had a third girl, but the poor child died a SIDS death.think she had a hyresectomy too, or whatever that word really is. ok, naruto time! byebye~~
p.p.s. eep, i keep forgetting the name of the woman coming thios arvo... ursula, or sth like that. and no more chair sitting for me, apparently i'm all done. hope it helps!
p.p.s. congrats to ricky martin, who's just given birth to TWINS!!! well, not him, but you know what i mean...:P

wednesday post3
um ... ok, i plodded 2820 steps today. give or take a few for my atrocious counting skills. :P
so, woke up this morning. mum made me walk to the gobbling table :P where breakkie was 2 yummy pikelets with some marg and strawberry jam. too bad, no golden syrup. it'll have to go on my xmas wishlist :P hmm ... what's on it so far?
-a pair of crocs
-a packet of fun cereal
- a teddy bear
-oh! almost forgot! golden syrup :P
so, aunty yvonne came along and we started ambling up and down the hallway, while mum cooked up lunch for us. i also went once to the loo once, and flopped on the bed for awhile, before mum called lunch was ready. yummy udon! i had mine with a cup of milk, wile both mum and aunty yvonne chose a cup of tea. i only stole a TINY wee bit of mum's. :P
done, mum forced me to walk to the computer, where she made me stand for a whopping EIGHT (i kid you not!) minutes plus b4 she let me online. and, i think she said i stood so crap i'll only get to go online for an hour this arvo. argh, my life really does SUCK. too bad, nothing else to be said - get the HELL used to it!
anyways, i plan to check the news, the olympics, but first of all i need to go finish the manga that smelly sent me of sasuke killing itachi. see yous toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. yeah! lunch with smelly tomorrow! do you know HOW long i've been craving for a chicken spaghetti meal?
p.p.s. wonder what mum has deemed for arvo tea today ...

tuesday post4
poopoo!!!!!!!!!!! my stupid post disappeared >< oh well, take 2, fingers crossed!
ok, i plodded 5855 steps today.
so i got up about the same time aunty joanne arrived. mum made me walk to the gobbling table :P where breakkie was a sausage bun and a cup of plain milk. mum then forced me to walk to the car, where off to the PA we tootled. i needed to pee once we got there, so mum made me walk in and forced me to walk to the day hospital afterwards. so, with linelle - she told me her maiden name, but i forgot it! sorry >< but her older sister is a GP who's taken time off to be with her very young kids. ok, we went ambling up and down the parallel bars, b4 heading outside for our daily dose of vitamin D with a physio assistant. i think his name is joe? so mum picked me up, with aunty joanne. i needed to pee, so mum forced me to walk to the loo, b4 making me walk inside BIRU (i wanted to visit the nurses). good timing! they were having their monthly? BBQ. i said hi to shelley - whos's leaving in 2 or 3 days time - and orli, helen, margaret and kesley, who i think is a CN, whatever that stands for. much thanks to orli who carved me a slice of pavlova, and to aunty joanne who fed it to me! kind orli also offered me a sausage, but i wisely declined, explaiing,"orli, if mum catches you, she'll KILL you!" o_Oso we said our byes, and mum made me walk to the car. but before we got there, who did we stumble accross but mustufar! he's a great man, from turkey. when i was still on hoist transfer he'd come and help me. i got him to sing me a ditty in turkish once! even funnier, he's a new south welshman :P so we had a quick chat, b4 saying our byes and trundling home. once there, mum forced me to walk in - and hey, talk about timely arrival! aunty anne arrived too. ^^ so, lunch for me was the chicken risotto in a bowl, microwaved. mum and aunty joanne chose kebabs. i stole a bite :P i went online, they left, and kerry arrived. shower first, then arvo tea. thanks to aunty anne who had got us sushi. i had mine with a drop of soya sauce and a hot milo. we did some hand exercises and piano practise b4 news time. actually, i whinged i was 'BIG hungry' to both mum and kerry. one of them gave me a pear in the end :P mum came back and made me bike pedal a few hundred rotations - she owes 10500 now! lol. then she dragged me a-walking. i signed the sheet, said bye and thanks to kerry, then had dinner. mostly beef tonite, but i did enjoy a cup of pear juice and some of dad's chicken and sweetcorn soup. then i tootled online.
anyways, think aunty yvonne will come over toms. oh well, no biggie. hope you all are enjoying your week, so g'nite!
cheers,

monday post
yo! so, i plodded 9980 steps today. darn, and i was so close to being a normal person again! ah well... no wait, just back from the loo, which makes walking total 10055! yeah me normal now!
so woke up this morning, and i was surprised to see that aunty frances hadn't made her arrival yet. mum made her entrance, and explained that the poor woman was sick >< i hope she feels better soon! so, firstly i was all depressed :( coz i didn't wake up when dad left this morning, but then mum congratulated me for remembering to call out to her during the night so i could use the pot :P anyways, mum made me walk out to the gobbling table :P(i really love that name, don't you?) where breakfast was a yummy sausage bun with a cup of plain milk. then mum forced me to walk to the car, where off to the doctor's we trundled for my last bum massage. i needed to pee when we got in, so mum made me walk in and forced me to walk to the room - where the chair was - afterwards. my last ever bum massage ... oh well. so i listened to my ipoddy and read a mag. mum asked dr. mor to come take a look at my left eye coz i'd somehow grown a painful pimple in it! ouchies >< but it's more or less gone now, so alright. i read a mag and listened to my ipoddy. when it was all done, we said byebye to a few staff (dr mor's new daughter-in-law's name is angela/ankela/sth like that) and mum made me walk out. back home, kerry had arrived too so mum forced me to walk in and i had a late lunch of some yummy noodles plus a cup of hot ovaltine/milo/whatever. i know it wasn't tea though, coz i had a cuppa yesterday. kerry then gave me a nice hot shower - no hairwash today - and put on my ugg boots afterwards. i had a pear for arvo tea, then i did some hand exercises with kerry. that was followed by piano practice, both hands, then a quick trip to the loo and time to watch the news. mum woke up eventually - correction; she denies ever having slept in the first place :P - to make me pedal bike for a couple of hundred rotations. i note that she now owes about 9000 :P i reckon that will take quite some time! finished, i went to the loo once more, b4 mum dragged me for another few rounds of walking. i signed the sheet for kerry, said our thanks and byes, b4 wailing i was BIG hungry to mum, who fed me half a bikkie and dear dad even chipped in with a bit of beef. ding dong! ankle colbert came to look at my uncle :P (just swap those two words around) and he soon had me walking up and down the hallway. i said a big cuddly hi to his pikachu, who promised not to fry him if uncle colbert promised not to pull his ears :P i wonder when -or if - if uncle colbert will ever give me his pikachu? i expect mine - which goes "i love you i love you" when you squeeze it's tummy has long run out of batteries. so, after dinner, mum and dad made my left hand practise holding the bowl, b4 i had a cup of pear juice and mum forced me to walk over to the chair, making me do some standing exercises in the meanwhile. never fear, i didn't squash her! :P so, back in sparky now. i need to pee, but i've still got about an hr and 20mins left online ... maybe i'll just go first ... poo >< i expect mum's still in the shower. oh well, should be able to last until she comes down. wish me luck! gonna go send an email to bob first, then read a lil bit of naruto manga. laters! (ok, and time is now 8:55 9:06 now, so that means mum will owe me a good hr. oh well, good night. just sending bob an email about his side losing :P

sunda post
*yelps* that dratted post, it has gone again!>< so, here comes take 2... and i plodded 1685 steps today.
got up, mum forced me to walk out to the gobbling table :P breakfast was a piece of toast with a little marg and strawberry jam with a cup of plain milk. all devoured :P dad made me walk to the car, and off to church we tootled. mum didn't want to listen to any CD, she just wanted peace and quiet, so i sang '99 bottles of beer on the wall' in my head to entertain myself as we drove to church. upon arrival, i stopped at 77 bottles. :P parents forced me to walk in, and speaker today was shane/shaun mccarthy, and he brought his son josh along. his sermon was on names. when he finished yakking:P i needed to pee so mum made me walk in and out. then we chatted to pole and smelly for awhile, b4 mum forced me to walk back out to the car. in return for a piece of KFC chicken from aunty a next week, i agreed to accompany her, mum and dad to yum cha. remember, i HATE yum cha. >< please just give me ONE BIG meal, not a nibble here and a nibble there, etc. mum added that if i went with them, i'd be free from yumcha until jan 1st, 2009. but i might still take dad to yumcha on their anniversary (29th aug) i love him the best. ^^" anyways, at yum cha we bumped into the guy that works there - and is a workmate of uncle sam's - and thanks to him who poured me a glass of water. tea was 'bol ley', (dunno it's english name)so i ordered most of my favourites - though i admit i was a bit startled to read in the menu that there was both crocodile and kangaroo to eat! >< not for me, no thanks! anyways, i admit, after lunch i was only just 'satiated', so i hope i'd better get a big arvo tea! too bad though, i doubt mum will gimme a microwaveable meal. ah well, you all know what i say. just go get the hell used to it. :P
so, lunch over, i extended an invite to aunty a to come over for hot pot tonight; i think she accepted. parents had made me walk in and out of the restaurant, and once back home, they forced me to walk inside. i plopped of the couch to watch grant hackett tough it out in the 1500m. he was so close to winning too! i also heard, courtesy of mum, that the girls had won their 4x100 race - libby trickett, leisel jones (sorry for any spelling inaccuracies), jesicca schipper and emily seebohm. well done, girls!
anyways, dear dad's just back from the shops; i expect he'll go to baddy soon. mum's gone for a snooze and i'm waiting for kerry to get here. still an hr to go! and i'll ask for a hot ovaltine today - yesterday's was a hot milo.
well, going to watch naruto now, then the news. still no sound. oh well. cya guys toms! hope you have a lovely week!

saturday post 3
hi!, so, i plodded 5052 steps. like i've promised, am plodding very hard. ^^
so, got up this morning. am proud to say, i've learnt to sleep on my right side now! i mean, i'm so used to just sleeping on my back, but mum says for some reason, i have to sleep on my right side. luckily, i've got my beloved bear bear to poke me awake and tell me to turn back on my right side if i forget. *hugs him*
anyways, dad made me walk to the gobbling table :P where breakfast was a yummy little bit of crossaint with a glass of plain milk. none of my prayers were answered as uncle wallace came along, but don't be disheartened, i think he's away next week! meaning ... i can sleeeeeeeep! *cheers*:P so, first session:OT arm raising, theraband tugging, mah jong-thing lifting, after we'd finished dad got him a crossaint too and me a cup of cold milo. he left, mum came home, and i think we had congee for lunch. i went to the loo, then dad made me walk to plop back into sparkless. vincent and kat soon popped over, and second session, :PT, commenced. just lotsa standing and walking. kerry came over too, late at 3:30, though she remembered to ring first and say the house carpets or sth similar was getting redone. she gave me a shower, hair wash today, then arvo tea was a pear - i saved her the last slice- and a cup of hot milo. i don't need any sugar with it, it'll do with just hot milk and milo. kerry also made me a toasted cheese sandwhich. when i finished my gobbling, i went to practise the piano for a good half hour. then, a trip to the loo, then news time! mum eventually woke up and make me do a couple of hundred rotations on the bike. i note she now owes about 7000 now, she hasn't done it for so long! oh well. so, bike over. i needed to pee, so mum forced me to walk to the loo and back out for another few rounds of the house b4 i signed the sheet for kerry and said bye. dad came home, we gobbled dinner, i had a cup of pear juice, b4 coming onto the net. not talking to ne1 tonight, so will send my weekly report to the physios and go read the news ( and possibly watch another episode of naruto. ) hope to see most of yous at church toms!gnite!

well, b4 i forget again, the spam count for the week is 250. i've had dinner, and when kerry was here, vincent the physio came and we've already walked 854 steps. he'll come again toms. i'm just praying so hard that uncle wallace won't. i mean, i know he's coming to help me and i sincerely thank him for that, but ... why can't he just come once a fortnight? ah well. tough. just get used to it.
anyways, just talking to joshels now :P i've left him in charge of christy's 21st, which will happen on the sat of camp. good thing? dora said mum and dad can come too, meaning i can stay the whole camp. yay!anyways, think the broncos are playing right now, so when mum calls me off, i'll go watch for awhile. cyas on sunday!
cheers,

hi! ok, so i plodded 3985 steps today. lol, so close to 4 grand! ah well, maybe toms ...
so i got up fairly late this morning. mum forced - and yes, i'm allowed to use that word- me to walk to the gobbling table :P where breakfast was a yummy crossaint courtesy of dad and a cup of milo. with a teaspoon! yay, thanks mum!^^
then mum made me walk out to the car, where off to the doctor's we plodded. mum made me walk in once we were there, then as i needed to pee she forced me to walk to the loo and back out. so i read a magazine and listened to my ipoddy while enjoying a bum massage. all done, mum made me walk back to the car and we tootled home, listening to josh groban, i think, coz mum's misplaced my poor westlife CD :s i hope it turns up soon!
back home, mum forced me to walk back to sparky, b4 she showed off her great skills as a chef and made us fried rice. with SCALLOPS yum! fair enough, there was those mixed veges too, and with soy/a sauce. yummy! there's still a bit left over; mum says i can have it for arvo tea. then mum made me do one hand exercise b4 letting me online. i note she still hasn't learnt how to let me access the net yet. >< oh well ... so, kerry ought to get here in another half hour or so. i guess i'll just go read the news/whatnot until i can find sth more interesting to do. no UF tonight, as they'll all be going to BLT. i hope they have a great time! hmm ... just makes me wonder, does that mean there's no bible study then? vince did say 20-odd ppl would be going, but that still leaves me, fi and charlsy here. guess i'll send an email to aunty a and ask her. anyways, catcha toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. almost forgot - thanks to letty for the comment! it must be the first in what, like, months? keep'em coming, peoples! and b4 i forget, i think letty's bday is on the 30th of oct. so sorry if it's not. >< byebye!

thursday post3
yo! so, i plodded 5774 steps today. am plodding hard, never fear!
so, refused to get up till way late today, say, 11am? hehe! mum made me walk out to the gobbling table :P where breakfast was a yummy custard bun and a cup of milo. with a teaspoon- yum! thanks, mum ^^SO, THEN MUM MADE ME PLOD TO THE CAR, WHERE OFF TO THE pa (sorry, shrieking! ><") we tootled. to be honest, i think mum must've deliberately chosen the disabled parking spot furtherst from the entrance just to make me walk more >< so, mum made me walk in, and i collapsed gratefully into a chair to rest and wait for the stupid clonus in my legs to die down. thanks to mum who got both of us some water from the cooler.
so, when mum had determined that we had rested amply, she got me up and made me walk inside BIRU. i said hi to amy the nurse and karen the teabag. then i walked over to the couch and gratefully flopped onto the couch with mum. when mum decided that i had rested enough, mum got me up and made me walk over to the receprtion desk, where i met some new doctor ... can't remember her name, sorry - oh, thanks to mum who reminded me it was Lesley. and i talked to orli too! his granddaughter, trinity maree, is getting baptised soon! sorry, i gotta go. i'll come back tonight to finish it. bye!
p.s. it's currently 3:16pm. no, 3:17 now.
Well, 3:51 now, I’ve had a shower – no hair wash today- and mum’s sent me to save this post, then eat a pear, then go to Vincent the physio. Ok, time is now 3:52. toodleoo!
Hmm, me back for 5 mins, so will leave at 4:30. have had a pear and hot milo; the charsiu bow was from aunty anne and is waiting my return. Bye!
Hello again! It is 6:07 now, and I’m just back from a comfy massage. My left leg is still yelling Vincent the physio for yanking it so hard :P and oh, btw, it’s 6:56 right now and kerry’s just gone; I got back, went to the loo, then mum made me walk over to the table where I enjoyed my 2nd arvo tea of aunty anne’s charsiu bow. Then mum made me bike pedal for a couple of hundred rotations, before dragging me to walk roundabouts 6 laps. I mean, Vincent the physio wrote that I only had to walk 4 laps! What can I do about it? Absol-fricking-letely nothing. My life sucks, get used to it. Lol. So, mum forces me to bike pedal 500 rounds whenever she remembers, and I note she hasn’t forgotten a day yet. Actually, I’m counting how much she has to catch up on, and it’s currently 5500 rotations. Wonder how long that will take?
Anyways, naruto-viewing and news reading time for me. See you guys toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
p.s. vincent and kat's bday is on thev 29th of september. must remember to send them a card! hmm.. think they're turning 29 this year.

hi! ok, so i plodded 4721 steps today. give or take a few for my terrible counting skills :P
anyways, i got up this morning. dad f-oops, gotta remember, he doesn't like me using the word 'forced' for some reason - so, he made me walk out to the gobbling table :P where i didn't get to do any of that word at all! just spat out my splint and sipped a lil water, b4 dad made me walk out to the car, where off to maccas we trundled. yum! mum and i both had bacon'n'egg mcmuffins, while dad chose a sausage'n'egg mcmuffin. i tried a bite - can't take the meaty taste. say it in canto - too 'sol' for me. we all had a hash brown, and as for drinks - me milk, mum OJ dad coffee. yucky! hehe ... so, breakkie all gobbled up :P parents made me walk out to the car, where off to the gold coast we tootled!once there, dad made me walk in to sit down as mum went for fish'n'chups :P then look! we saw aunty melody and uncle cyras! so we had lunch together. then parents dragged me for a walk in the sand, b4 we came back to the table. aunty melody poured dad a cup of coffee, while mum and i shared a cup of tea. too bad, no sugar, but still good! actually, i loved the battered fish mum got, and the scallops, but i tried a bite of mum's prawn, and like, ewwwww! hehe then we said our byes, and mum and dad made me walk back to the car and we tootled home. once home, parents made me walk in, and mum gave me a shower. no hair wash today, i think. my scalp's still red/purple, i think, but mum admired my pepsi purple hair today in the sun! i practised piano for awhile, both hands, then dinner! followed by a cup of pear juice. then, as mum turned the computer on and put in that dratted password to let me on the net :P dad made me walk over here to practise more standing exercises >< i mean, i know, no pushing the cushion on the chair back, lean all to the left, bum and shoulders forward ... i give up. but i guess i just hate god even more now coz he made my dad cry! i love him the MOST in the world. if anything EVER happened to him, i'd NEER forgive god!
so, finally online now, but sadly i won't get my 2 hrs unless i stay till a quarter past 10 or sth like that ... oh well. i think mum said she'd make it back up to me- hope so! so i'm just talking to joshels on the net now; turns out he got an OP3 and his younger sister jess is in yr 12 this year. or 11 ...
anyways, i hope mum will take me to the PA toms! i mean, i've finished both OT and PT, but i think mum said she'd take me there to practise hobbling up and down. i hope she will too! but i bags the right to sleep till at least 9am first :P mm... i wonder if they'll lemme into BIRU and if i can beg habib for a morning cuppa? fat chance, i guess ...
oh, am talking to chsrlsy now too!well, will just go check the news now. see yous toms!

sunday and monday post
ok, so i did 5626 steps yesterday, and 4350 today. but let's do this in order, ok?
sunday: so, got up, mum made me walk out to the gobbling table :P where breakkie was some marg and strawberry jam on toast. actually, i miss the orange marmalade ... then mum made me walk out to the car and off to church we trundled. speakers today was 2 guys and 2 girls from dulous (sp?) one was called annika, one arni (sp? again, sorry) and they shared their experiences with us. all over, mum forced me to walk into the loo, and back out again. back out, we chatted to a few ppl then mum made me walk back out to the car, where off to uncle eddy's we drove. parents forced me to walk in, and we did a chapter of genesis, but i can't remember which one, sorry! i needed to pee after, so parents made me walk in and forced me to walk out afterwards. oh, but i almost forgot! thanks to uncle eddy, who kindly got me a glass of water and a cracker!
so, off to foodcourt we trundled. parents forced me to walk in, then as aunty a said, we were in a bad spot, so dad made me walk to about subway to sit down ?( we were at the japanese food place) so, i had to wait while they ate - mum had asian, as did aunty a, dad had hungry jacks and i waited till he finished b4he bought me a bit of KFC. i mean, 10 wee chippees and a piece of chook :P with all the skin peeled off really isn't cool, but oh well. i also got a chocolate with pearl thanks to christy jie after she encouraged me to stand and sing during worship. so, lunch done, we said our byes and parents forced me to walk out to our car where we tootled home. parents made me walk inside for a quick pee, then forced me back out to room for a nap. mum gave me a shower too. i was going to sleep awhile then blog, but i slept too late/they came too early. just as i woke up to blog, ding dong! fi and pole arrived! so mum made me walk out to the car, and with fi as driver, pole as navigator and me as royal bum slouched in the death seat :P off we went. i think we took a few wrong turns coz we ended up ringing janice and got her to preorder for us. strange, though, the menu choice? beef, fish, lamb or pumpkin. now i don't like beef, can't eat lamb (like mum) and detest pumpkin just as much, so i guess the only choice was fish. we eventually made it, and pole wheeled me in, the job taken over by mikey. dinner for me and fi was fish paste on biscuit/bread/whatever, and much thanks to julz who spread it on for me. then, turns out chloe was too full to finish hers, so i polished off her pasta for her. thanks! i was even brave enough to try a yucky olive! eww. never again, ok? o_O dinner all done, someone recommended a loo trip first, so thank-you to pole who helped me go. then, concert time! i saw smelly, too, and mikey's entire music extension class. they were so good! i must look them up on youtube/the net when i get the chance. my favourite song was 'oh for a closer walk with thee' and they also sang a bit in korean! too bad, they didn't sing what i really wanted, the sparrow song. oh well. we encored them once b4 leaving. so, who went (i think): me, pole, janice, a, b, boris, chloe, julz, jacinta, vince, fi, mikey, umm ... i'm sure there's more, but i've forgotten, sorry! so, as we left, julz and i ransomed pole's handbag on the condition that if she wanted it back? take us to maccas (a)<-- me! haha, so we dropped mikey off to alex, then we went to the drivethrough of plaza maccas, where i got a simple cheeseburger, no pickles. fi drove me home, i said thanks, and mum made me walk in. i happily gobbled my cheeseburger with no icky pickles :P and a glass of milk, then mum forced me to walk to the bathroom to brush teeth and loo. goodnite!
mon:turns out i left my walking stick in fi's car. so who should turn up on mon morning, still in PJ's and more asleep then awake, but fi so bao herself with my stick? thanks, fi! so, up nice and late. a trip to the loo first, then as mum was helping me get dressed - ding dong! aunty wendy popped along. i had a breakky of a yummy sausage bun and a cup of milo, then mum left and i started on exercises with aunty wendy. hehe, but she calls squishy just 'squish' cute!so, we did a fair amount of hand exercises, then some leg exercises, b4 i went to the loo then had my lunch of some 'swelling':P that aunty jenny had kindly given us. i was still hungry afterwards, so thanks to aunty wendy who gave me a piece of toast with a slice of cheese and some tomato sauce. i then went for a number 2. mum came home. she made me walk out to the car, then off to the doctor's we trundled. mum then forced me to walk in; i needed to pee so she made me walk in then back out. one comfy bum massage later, mum started forcing me to walk out to the car, but then dr. mor called us in - he had photos to show! of his son's wedding! his new daughter-in-law is (i think) spanish, and the photos were really cool. so we thanked him for sharing them, then mum made me walk back out to the car. at least we got to listen to westlife this time, b4 it was some female singer dad liked, ruth tsang (pronounced 'tsung') i think mum said she was a christian? anyways, back home, mum forced me to walk inside, and seeing kerry was already there, she gave me a shower first. hair wash today. i wonder if my scalp's still pink or purple? arvo tea was another yummy sausage bun with a cup of hot milo. kerry likes it too, but not ovaltine. dunno why - i think both are yummy, really. i shared my strawberries with her, and when mum came down she asked mum to translate a recipe for her. of 'swelling', i think. :P mum then made me pedal a couple of hundred rotations, before forcing me to walk around and around. i went to the loo once more, b4 signing the sheet for her. she left, to be soon followed by uncle colbert! so more walking and standing walk followed. he brought my broncos showbag! so lots to write about on my livejournal toms! he also brought a big pikachu - i cuddled and kissed it; he said if i was good all week, he'd give it to me. cool! so he had a cup of tea and we gobbled dinner. i had a cup of pear juice when finished then mum made me walk over to the computer. i've checked email, read news and am just blogging now. bed for me soon, coz physio toms! really no idea who's my physio, but oh well. maybe i'll see bob and we can mourn together - both the broncos and manly lost! ><
forgot to add - uncle colbert brought this big cute pikachu along. he says if i'm good all week, he'll give it to me! i can't wait! ok, bed now. byebye!

so, off to foodcourt we trundled. parents forced me to walk in, then as aunty a said, we were in a bad spot, so dad made me walk to about subway to sit down ?( we were at the japanese food place) so, i had to wait while they ate - mum had asian, as did aunty a, dad had hungry jacks and i waited till he finished b4he bought me a bit of KFC. i mean, 10 wee chippees and a piece of chook :P with all the skin peeled off really isn't cool, but oh well. i also got a chocolate with pearl thanks to christy jie after she encouraged me to stand and sing during worship. so, lunch done, we said our byes and parents forced me to walk out to our car where we tootled home. parents made me walk inside for a quick pee, then forced me back out to room for a nap. mum gave me a shower too. i was going to sleep awhile then blog, but i slept too late/they came too early. just as i woke up to blog, ding dong! fi and pole arrived! so mum made me walk out to the car, and with fi as driver, pole as navigator and me as royal bum slouched in the death seat :P off we went. i think we took a few wrong turns coz we ended up ringing janice and got her to preorder for us. strange, though, the menu choice? beef, fish, lamb or pumpkin. now i don't like beef, can't eat lamb (like mum) and detest pumpkin just as much, so i guess the only choice was fish. we eventually made it, and pole wheeled me in, the job taken over by mikey. dinner for me and fi was fish paste on biscuit/bread/whatever, and much thanks to julz who spread it on for me. then, turns out chloe was too full to finish hers, so i polished off her pasta for her. thanks! i was even brave enough to try a yucky olive! eww. never again, ok? o_O dinner all done, someone recommended a loo trip first, so thank-you to pole who helped me go. then, concert time! i saw smelly, too, and mikey's entire music extension class. they were so good! i must look them up on youtube/the net when i get the chance. my favourite song was 'oh for a closer walk with thee' and they also sang a bit in korean! too bad, they didn't sing what i really wanted, the sparrow song. oh well. we encored them once b4 leaving. so, who went (i think): me, pole, janice, a, b, boris, chloe, julz, jacinta, vince, fi, mikey, umm ... i'm sure there's more, but i've forgotten, sorry! so, as we left, julz and i ransomed pole's handbag on the condition that if she wanted it back? take us to maccas (a)<-- me! haha, so we dropped mikey off to alex, then we went to the drivethrough of plaza maccas, where i got a simple cheeseburger, no pickles. fi drove me home, i said thanks, and mum made me walk in. i happily gobbled my cheeseburger with no icky pickles :P and a glass of milk, then mum forced me to walk to the bathroom to brush teeth and loo. goodnite!
mon:turns out i left my walking stick in fi's car. so who should turn up on mon morning, still in PJ's and more asleep then awake, but fi so bao herself with my stick? thanks, fi! so, up nice and late. a trip to the loo first, then as mum was helping me get dressed - ding dong! aunty wendy popped along. i had a breakky of a yummy sausage bun and a cup of milo, then mum left and i started on exercises with aunty wendy. hehe, but she calls squishy just 'squish' cute!so, we did a fair amount of hand exercises, then some leg exercises, b4 i went to the loo then had my lunch of some 'swelling':P that aunty jenny had kindly given us. i was still hungry afterwards, so thanks to aunty wendy who gave me a piece of toast with a slice of cheese and some tomato sauce. i then went for a number 2. mum came home. she made me walk out to the car, then off to the doctor's we trundled. mum then forced me to walk in; i needed to pee so she made me walk in then back out. one comfy bum massage later, mum started forcing me to walk out to the car, but then dr. mor called us in - he had photos to show! of his son's wedding! his new daughter-in-law is (i think) spanish, and the photos were really cool. so we thanked him for sharing them, then mum made me walk back out to the car. at least we got to listen to westlife this time, b4 it was some female singer dad liked, ruth tsang (pronounced 'tsung') i think mum said she was a christian? anyways, back home, mum forced me to walk inside, and seeing kerry was already there, she gave me a shower first. hair wash today. i wonder if my scalp's still pink or purple? arvo tea was another yummy sausage bun with a cup of hot milo. kerry likes it too, but not ovaltine. dunno why - i think both are yummy, really. i shared my strawberries with her, and when mum came down she asked mum to translate a recipe for her. of 'swelling', i think. :P mum then made me pedal a couple of hundred rotations, before forcing me to walk around and around. i went to the loo once more, b4 signing the sheet for her. she left, to be soon followed by uncle colbert! so more walking and standing walk followed. he brought my broncos showbag! so lots to write about on my livejournal toms! he also brought a big pikachu - i cuddled and kissed it; he said if i was good all week, he'd give it to me. cool! so he had a cup of tea and we gobbled dinner. i had a cup of pear juice when finished then mum made me walk over to the computer. i've checked email, read news and am just blogging now. bed for me soon, coz physio toms! really no idea who's my physio, but oh well. maybe i'll see bob and we can mourn together - both the broncos and manly lost! ><
forgot to add - uncle colbert brought this big cute pikachu along. he says if i'm good all week, he'll give it to me! i can't wait! ok, bed now. byebye!

hi! so today, i plodded 3510 steps. yeah - me passed 1,2 and 3 grands!
so i got up this morning when aunty yvonne dindonged at our doorbell, then went to the loo. mum then forced me to walk out to the gobbling table :P where for me, breakfast was a slice of toast with margarine and yummy strawberry jam. yummy ^^ then aunty yvonne grabbed me for long walkings as mum whipped up lunch for us. i also flopped on the bed for awhile as aunty yvonne gave my arms and lwgs some yanking. that was followed by more walking, before mum called lunch was ready. so lunch was some rather tasteless - but still yummy!- congee, and some noodles aunty yvonne had cooked for us. i mean, usually i can't stand the taste of curry, but i ate it all anyway. so aunty yvonne left, i stole a few spoonfuls of mum's bowl of congee :P then mum made me walk over to the computer. i'm chatting to cousin katie and dr. mak right now. will go and try to email some past canterbury teachers (namely, mr. hall and mr. lees) then read newspaper for awhile. if there's still time after that (and i doubt it), i might try for some fanfiction, or sth.
hope you guys are all enjoying your week!

anyways, i got up this morning when aunty joanne arrived, followed in quick sucession by dad. mum made me walk out to the dining room, where breakkie was a yummy sausage bun and a cup of milo, with a teaspoon, i think. thanks mum! so i said a quick bye to dad, but couldn't kiss him :( because he's got the flu. poor dad! then mum made me walk out to the car, where off to the PA we trundled. once there, mum made me walk in; we had a quick rest on the chairs and said hi to fabio. then mum made - should i use the word 'forced'? me walk into the day hospital, where i met tricia, my physio for the day. so i went up and down the parallel bars, and had a go on the arm bike. i just keep forgetting its real name, sorry. >< tricia had a look at my splint, and we did more walking and standing. i saw both helen and shelley practise their walking too! i met another physio student who knows pole, and asked her to say hi from me. i hope she remembers! so, that all done, mum kindly wheeled me back inside BIRU to say hi to bob. i also saw tom tom, orli, amy, and sarah. mum made me walk a few steps to show them, then we said our byebyes and drove home. mum changed the car CD to josh groban, and we trundled home. back home, we said bye and thanks to aunty joanne, who declined lunch with us. mum made me walk to the gobbling table :P where she made really yummy kebabs for us for lunch. i had mine with a glass of milk, she with some hot water. then mum made me walk over to the computer, where i'm just blogging now. mum's having a snooze. and i almost forgot! much thanks to janelle who gifted me with a pedometer! i'll haveta figure it out later.

monday post
well, it is a new record! yesterday i plodded a whopping 9921 steps, and today i've already done 450, but will be more as i have a doctor's appointment in the arvo. so, sunday first(and eep, but i have the hiccoughs *hic!*):
so, got up in the morning, mum made me walk to the breakkie table, where awesome dad had made us some ham and eggs. so that on toast with a glass of milk, parents then made me walk out to the car, where off to church we trundled. speaker today was uncle derek, i'm very sorry but i can't remember what he talked about. (argh, i'm STILL hiccuping! ><)so, no communion, then when everything was over mum made me walk into the loo and back out again. we chatted to a few people, then mum made me walk out to the car, where off to uncle eddy's we trundled. once there, parents made me walk in, thanks to uncle eddy who kindly got me a glass of water, too bad that mum declined aunty katherine's offer of some bikkies!so, we did genesis chapter 41, or so ... i shared a bible with charlsy, and hugged totoro, the pig with the heptuplets (as i so taught chloe), and a giraffe i named 'chickenpox', coz he was covered in red spots, of course:P anyways, 1:56 and time for me to go to the doctor's now, byebye!
lol, it's 8:12 now - i'm just back on to finish my blog. just proud to report - the grand total for today is 4050. yay, i passed 1,2,3, AND 4 grands. yay!^^ so at the doctors, mum made me walk in. i then enjoyed a bum massage while listening to ipoddy. mum read a magazine and said hi to various ppl who wandered in. comfy bum massage over, i needed to pee so mum made me walk to the loo. funny, i could've sworn that mum said she'd gimme my chair once i finished, but nope, i must be tone deaf or sth :P so mum made me walk back out to the car, and we set off for home. woohoo - go mum who remembered to charge ipoddy!so, back home, mum made me walk in, and we were closely followed by kerry, who gave me a shower first; no hair wash today. arvo tea was an egg and ham bun plus a cup of hot milo, so i'll ask for tea toms. i doubt mum will allow sugar, but oh well. maybe kerry will give me some honey. :)
so we did some hand exercises and watched 7's 4:30 news. when mum woke up, she made me ride bike a couple of hundred rotations, then she dragged me walking a few rounds. i signed the sheet for kerry, and we said bye. mum then made me walk to the couch, where i collasped for a few mins of ABC's 7pm news. when dad declared dinner was ready, they made me walk to the dinner table. thanks to dad who cooked me some lovely scallops! so, when i finished dinner, dad refused me pear juice and instead made me practise holding a bowl with my left hand. he put a big marble so as to make it harder for me to do it. actually, i did it 11x until he was semi-satisfied, and mum then got me a cup of pear juice. she waters it down though- half juice, and half water. i don't really mind; i just wonder if she does it to herself when drinking it? anyways, mum then made me walk over to the computer to finish my blog. i'll send an email and go read the news too. mum says i've already been on for an hr, so only 1 left, although i swear it was only half an hour! oh well, my bloody life sucks. get the hell used to it, lol. ok, just hoping you are all enjoying your week!
cheers,
em. !^^
p.s. i want a mc oz burger from maccas!

(argh, i'm STILL hiccuping! ><)so, no communion, then when everything was over mum made me walk into the loo and back out again. we chatted to a few people, then mum made me walk out to the car, where off to uncle eddy's we trundled. once there, parents made me walk in, thanks to uncle eddy who kindly got me a glass of water, too bad that mum declined aunty katherine's offer of some bikkies!so, we did genesis chapter 41, or so ... i shared a bible with charlsy, and hugged totoro, the pig with the heptuplets (as i so taught chloe), and a giraffe i named 'chickenpox', coz he was covered in red spots, of course:P anyways, 1:56 and time for me to go to the doctor's now, byebye!
lol, it's 8:12 now - i'm just back on to finish my blog. just proud to report - the grand total for today is 4050. yay, i passed 1,2,3, AND 4 grands. yay!^^ so at the doctors, mum made me walk in. i then enjoyed a bum massage while listening to ipoddy. mum read a magazine and said hi to various ppl who wandered in. comfy bum massage over, i needed to pee so mum made me walk to the loo. funny, i could've sworn that mum said she'd gimme my chair once i finished, but nope, i must be tone deaf or sth :P so mum made me walk back out to the car, and we set off for home. woohoo - go mum who remembered to charge ipoddy!so, back home, mum made me walk in, and we were closely followed by kerry, who gave me a shower first; no hair wash today. arvo tea was an egg and ham bun plus a cup of hot milo, so i'll ask for tea toms. i doubt mum will allow sugar, but oh well. maybe kerry will give me some honey. :)
so we did some hand exercises and watched 7's 4:30 news. when mum woke up, she made me ride bike a couple of hundred rotations, then she dragged me walking a few rounds. i signed the sheet for kerry, and we said bye. mum then made me walk to the couch, where i collasped for a few mins of ABC's 7pm news. when dad declared dinner was ready, they made me walk to the dinner table. thanks to dad who cooked me some lovely scallops! so, when i finished dinner, dad refused me pear juice and instead made me practise holding a bowl with my left hand. he put a big marble so as to make it harder for me to do it. actually, i did it 11x until he was semi-satisfied, and mum then got me a cup of pear juice. she waters it down though- half juice, and half water. i don't really mind; i just wonder if she does it to herself when drinking it? anyways, mum then made me walk over to the computer to finish my blog. i'll send an email and go read the news too. mum says i've already been on for an hr, so only 1 left, although i swear it was only half an hour! oh well, my bloody life sucks. get the hell used to it, lol. ok, just hoping you are all enjoying your week!
cheers,
em. !^^

saturday post
ok, so mum made me walk 3172 steps today. yay, i passed 1, 2 and 3 grands! should i start with last night?
friday: UF at dora's place, while her parents are in NZ and her sister (i think) is in HK. so, since it was a PJ party, i chose to wear my eyeball the owl PJs. parents drove me there, and mum made me walk in. i needed the loo, so she made me walk in and then back out. i sat down, and thanks to peter pie who got me a glass of aloe vera drink. go the yummy jelly! also thanks to cabbage (eep, i hope she doesn't read this post, lest i became chopped up dead dead! ><)who drew me a smiley face on my cup. dinnertime! lotsa yummy dumplings! i admit, i only had max 15 b4 janice decided that was enough for me and gave me some cabbage/lettuce instead. so, tea over, and the girls helped me walk over to the TV room, where we watched the guys play wii fit. even better, we then started a game of taboo! it was the first time i played it b4; i was on the same team as julz, which was heaps of fun. in time, the lights were switched off and we sung happy bday to julz - 18 now! i did the hip hips, then they helped me walk over where cake and icecream was served. so i got a slice of the bday cake - chocolate smothered with yummy choc chips - and a lil scoop of both choc and vanilla icecream. dora also cut me a small slice of some chocolate barvarian cake, or whatever it's really called. dad came to pick me up around 10, as letty had to leave first, and he made me walk to the car. back home, he made me walk to the bathroom, where he kindly got me some milk. i then brushed my teeth and went to the loo, b4 dad made me walk back to the bedroom. mum came in to say g'nite, and i went zzzzzzzzzzzz.:P
sat:so, mum got up to work, so dad got me up and made me walk out to the dining room. big bumma is, neither parent will give me permission to ask uncle wallace if he could please not come anymore. *sigh* my life sucks. so what? nobody gives a crap. get used to it. meaning first session:OT. theraband tugging and arm lifting, when he finished dad gave me a glass of milk and yummy ham and eggs on a piece of toast for breakkie. he also made some for uncle wallace too.
mum came home; lunch was last night's leftovers. i then went to wait for vincent as mum hit her bed for a nap, so second session:PT just all the usual stuff. kerry came while he was walking with me, and when he left she gave me a shower - no hair wash today. shower done, i went to the loo, b4 thanks to kerry who put my shoes, socks and splint back on, b4 i went for arvo tea. a piece of cheese, some pear slices and a cup of ovaltine later - meaning, next time she's here i'll ask for milo- we did some theraband exercises b4 settling down to watch the news. actually, we didn't get far, coz mum woke up and made me do both the arm bike and the exercise bike b4 dragging me on long walkabouts. i signed the form for kerry, we said our byes. dad came home for dinner, and now i'm popped online. lily and lillian are watching me, and i already remembered to watch naruto last night. anyways, that's all from me, folks! hope to see most of yous at church toms! nitenite~
