tuesday post13

hi! so ... i plodded 2605 steps today. hope that's good :)
anyways, dear daddy bear was a happy teddy this morning, coz dad had given both he and I a goodbye kiss this morning. anyways, i snored happily until it was time to get up. mum forced to put my own knickers and pants on, then she put my socks, old splint and shoes on as ding dong! aunty joanne arrived. anyways, dear dad's called dinnertime for mum, but not to me. dunno why, but guess i'll tootle over anyway. time is now ... 7:36 pm. and i got on at 7:15pm, by the way. bbl!~
yo again! it's 7:55pm by now, and i've happily gobbled dinner. rice tonight, a few choy sum, a couple of pieces of BBQ chicken, and a small portion of fried egg. i washedthat down with a cup of HEAVILY watered-down pear juice, and came back online. so... where was i?
oh, yeah. aunty joanne arrived, and watched as mum FORCED :( me to walk to the gobbling table :P breakfast this morning was jam on toast, no marg or anything like that 'oil spread' thing coz mum for some reason got mad at me after my clumsy right hand accidently knocked the lid off the table and said i was henceforth forbidden to go online - don't worry, i haven't sneaked online here - and so my breakkie was a piece of toast with just some yummy strawberry jam, plus a glass of plain milk.
so, time to go to the hospital, mum FORCED :( me to walk to the car. they piled it, and we tootled off, listening to westlife. once there, mum FORCED :( me to walk into the loo - i needed to pee. then, mum FORCED :( me to walk over and wash my right hand, before mum FORCED :( me to walk to the day hospital. we met tricia there, mum and aunty joanne went to do their shopping, and my PT session started. left hand beanbag work - while we were doing that, tricia also wrote down a home program for mum to do at home with me. and just lotsa walking along the parallel bars - forwards and sideways. i was also very happy to call out a greeting to my bestest buddy, pole plop. ^^ anyways, session over, tricia helped me walk outside to park my behind :P on a chair and await mum and aunty joanne's return. oh, and i just went to the loo. need i say, that mum FORCED :( me to walk all the way there, forced me to yank my own daks down, FORCED :( me to walk over to wash my right and FORCED :( me to walk all the way back. anyways, where was i ...?
oh, yeah. aunty joanne and mum picked me up, and FORCED :( me to walk to the day hospital. then mum went to the bathroom as aunty joanne kindly made us each a cup of tea. white and 2 for me, and white and 1 for mum. for herself, i think she just stuck to her bottle of water. i read a gossip mag for awhile, about catriona rowntree's wedding and madonna turning 50. when mum came back, we tucked into our subways - beef for aunty joanne and mum, and yummy chicken for me. i finished quickly and so read the paper for awhile as mum and aunty joanne finished theirs. time to go back to the P&O, i was very gratefully swapped back into a borrowed sparkless by mum, and off we tootled. jane met us there, and examined my ankle. but she's got cold hands, warm heart, but even COLDER fingers! >< so, after looking over my ankle and stuff, she decided to make me another boot. so next week, same time appointment. hey, third time lucky! so, we left. first stop: day hospital, to return the borrowed wheelchair, which has funny brakes. oh, and we bumped into janelle also, updating her on the news that was emily :P then, mum FORCED :( me to walk to the car, where we tootled home, still listening to westlife. once home, mum FORCED :( me to walk back inside, and we said our byes and thanks to aunty joanne. mum then forced me to fold 3 towels for her, b4 ding dong! my new carer for today arrived. her name's lisa lee, which reminds me of the patient that landed herself in BIRU because of all things, a COLD >< can't remember if she was wheelchair bound, or not. but i think so. anyways, lisa gave me a shower first - hairwash today. i went for an unspeakable afterwards :P as is my wont, so i won't bother typing about it again. then she just got me kitted in just sandals afterwards, switched me back to sparky, and i tootled over for some arvo tea. a yummy sausage bun, plus a cup of HEAVILY watered-down milo. i asked her, "why not just put a glass of milk in the microwave for a min and a half? but she replied, "your mum says it has to be this watered-down." oh well, beats me. explains why i think i'll just stick to tea in the future. anyways, so i ate and drank. lisa gave my left hand a massage - wow, she's almost as soft as mum! - then we started on a good 40mins of hand exercises, e.g. theraplaydough :P squeezy grapey ball, and the theraband x 200. sure beats the 5100 my ursula birdie likes making me do! :Pi also practised piano for awhile, both hands. almost news time, i tootled back over to lisa, who fed me a cracker and a HEAVILY watered-down cup of chocolate nesquik. which explains why, i'll just be sticking to tea with a spoonful of honey, in the future. and sorry, i've just realised i've already said that. so, we watched the news, then i got her to take me to the bathroom once more - oh, and she's better at driving sparky than me - before i signed the sheet for her. dear dad came home, and mum woke up from pig land :P and how cool is this? lisa knows how to say "do you want a cup of tea/coffee?" in chinese!anyways, when lisa left, mum promptly Fforced me on 20 or 40 - i can't remember which, sorry >< minutes of left hand exercises that tricia had written down for me today. like i said, dad came home, we had diner, i tootled back online.
anyways, mum says dolly's coming toms to look after me. she's the one that's also a physio, remember? we're also going to pick up my new boot - i hope it works! but just a reminder to self - must remind mum i have to wear the old boot to physio on tuesday, lest they see my new one from goodwill and refuse to make me a new one. anyways, me going to forward an email from uncle toby to mum then hitting pig land. good night, all!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i never did remember to mention that wonderful aunty alice made me A THOUSAND PAPER CRANES for christmas last year! you know, how in japanese history/culture that 1000 will help a sick person get well.
P.P.S. oh, i've got a hairsnipping appointment at 10:30am toms. actually, mum says she needs one too - but don't ask me, i think it's always ultra-short! :P - but since the aunty only had one spot left available, mum graciously ceded that to me, saying that my hair is longer.
P.P.P.S. umm ... can anyone please think of some interesting words starting with 'p'? i'll explain why if i get any - thanks!
