yo! so, i plodded 1984 steps today. a good end to the week, i hope! :)
well, i gotta thank kwany - ANOTHER comment?! haha, i feels loved. oh, and kwany, sorry for posting this entry up 3 times. i swear, i only clicked 'publish post' once! haha, anyways...
dear daddy bear was a happy ted too, coz he'd gotten a kiss from dear dad too! mum dug me up, i went to the bathroom:P then she forced me to put my own knickers and pants on, kindly helping me with the socks, new splint and shoes part.
that all done, she clipped my pedometer onto me - oh, i almost forgot! today, mum FORCED :( me to plod 1985 steps. an ok end to the week, i hope. oh, and the spam count for the week is 180.
so, where was i? right. mum FORCED :( me to walk to the kitchen, where she forced me to grab a plastic container, forced me to fill it up with water, and forced me to spit my mouth splint into it. then, she FORCED :( me to walk to the cupboard to get my just wrong :P and FORCED :( me to walk back down to the benchtop to place it down. then, mum forced me to de-lid, pour and re-lid my cereal. i can't really remember, but i chose somewhere between 5 to 10 spoonfuls. last of all, she FORCED :( me to walk back and squat my dot :P(sue's phrase for 'sit down') on a chair, where i ate my cereal. i think mum was hanging up the washing, meanwhile. almost time to go, i decided to use the bathroom once more, so mum got me up and FORCED :( me to walk to the lavatory, as ding dong! leanne arrived. anyways, mum got me up, FORCED :( me to walk the few steps to wash my right hand, then FORCED :( me to walk to the car. leanne piled in as well, and off to goodwill orthopaedics we tootled. mum FORCED :( me to walk inside once we got there, and i sat, reading a gossip mag. leanne picked up one on health, i think. rod soon came to see me, and he whipped away my boot for some modifications. the other guy, i think his name is 'dewet', well, i think that's what he told me, anyways. rod came back, slapped my modified boot on for me. mum promptly yanked me up and FORCED :( me to hobble a few steps. allowed to plop back into the chair, mum then asked rod about a hand splint for me. he pulled one out and stuck it on my left hand - i bet mum was pleased, coz i couldn't stick my thumb into it, no matter how hard i tried. anyways, mum paid some EXORBITANT amount for it - sth like $162.50, or aroundabouts that. time to go, i notified mum that i needed the bathroom. thanks to the receptionist lady who got me a wheelchair and swapped me into it, then rolled me downhill to the amenities. mum helped me onto the loo, then as we finished and were coming out - a surprise! :P turns out the nice lady had sent a man down to push the wheelchair back up for us! thank-you, sir? was his name sth like 'grant'? anyways, mum unloaded me back into the car, leanne piled in too, and off we drove. next destination? kuraby park. mum had a grand old time FORCING :( me to walk all over the place. i had complained of a starved stomach, so mum fed me a lemon and honey soother, hopefully enough to stave off my hungriness.
thankfully, we only had to stay at that park for 20mins or so, b4 it was finally time to plod back to the car and head for lunch!
so we got to pinelands plaza, and promptly had a DREADFUL time of trying to find a car park. by the time we finally got one, it was almost 1pm!so, mum FORCED :( me to walk inside the store, where we took a seat at a table. mum and leanne went to order food. i indicated to leanne that i wanted a 'tori-don'. so mum and leanne came back with tubs of sushi each. thanks to mum who'd also gotten leanne and i a hot green tea to slowly sip (and therefore not singe our tongues. ><) so, mum and leanne started on their sushi, while i waited patiently for my meal. when it came, mum and leanne promptly stole a piece first, each. :P actually, mum pinched some rice too. that's ok. i mean, i had her inari and half of her egg sushi first. anyways, lunch happily eaten, mum FORCED :( to walk back out to the car, where i said my bye and thanks to leanne. dolly came, and piled in too, as mum popped into coles for some grocery shopping. actually, dolly says she'll bring me some butter chicken, one day. hope i'll like, if she remembers! anyways, when mum finished her shopping spree :P she piled in too, and off we tootled to the PA, for my checkup. once there, i was extremely gratefully trandferred back to sparkless, then, as i said i needed the bathroom, mum wheeled me in. a long tinkle later, dolly took over and pushed me to wherever it was that my appointment would be. anyways, both mum and i settled down with a gossip magazine, dolly with a health one. my name was soon called, and mum wheeled me in, dolly waiting outside. i can't remember the name of the doctor who saw us, sorry, but he asked a few questions, banged my joints with his mallet - or whatever the instrument is called - don't worry, but they jerked accordingly - and then wrote me a referal (there's a double letter somewhere in there, i'm pretty certain) to get an MRI. actually, when i first got into his room, he vanished in search of my medical files, and someone came in to inquire as to where he'd gotten to. but, go mum! who answered in flawless mandarin, "he's gone to get her -switch back to english here - medical notes" :P anyways, appointment over, mum/dolly wheeled me to 1 ... whichever letter it was, to get me a appointment. the guy at the counter said he'd mail us the appointment date and time, so we left. by then, it was already time to let dolly go, so we dropped her off at a street, said our byes and thanks, then tootled home. which means i hope that mum remembers to give me a shower tonight - a stinky em is no good! >< so, once home, mum FORCED :( me to walk into the loo for a long tinkle. then she FORCED :( me to walk the few steps to wash my right hand, before FORCING :(me to walk back to sparky, which thankfully wasn't TOO far away. i tootled online, just talking to joshels right now. oh, and i rang dear dad, who's stuck in the city, poor thing. home-time peak hour traffic, i guess.
anyways, me off to send my physios my weekly report, then, if there's time left, to watch my episode of naruto. can't wait! hope to see most of yous at church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
