tuesday post14

hi!, so, ok, i plodded 3200 steps today. looking good!
anyways, daddy bear and i had a good snore today, both content that we'd gotten a byebye kiss from dear daddy as he left for work this morning. anyways, i wanna ring him now ...yay! i did. my dearest daddy is in the valley right now, and he's gobbled his lunch too. so, pig mum dug me up fairly late this morning, say, past 9am :P i did a stinky unspeakable in the pot, then she got me kitted up for the day, me reminding her to slap on my old boot, just in case the P&O people saw my new blue tornado one and so refuse to make me a new one. all done, mum went and FORCED :( me to the gobbling table. ding dong! aunty joanne arrived and thanks to either her or mum who kindly poured me out a great big bowl of just wrong :P so, i went a-gobbling, and when i was finished, mum gave me my pills to pop for the day: 1 bilberry - good for your eyes - and 2 fish oil tablets. just no garlic tablet today, coz the nose was surprisingly well-behaved today. hope that continues! oh, and mum is just doing some phone banking right now. anyways, me swallowed my drugs for the day, then mum FORCED :( me to walk to the car. aunty joanne piled in as well, and after slapping on my cool blue sunglasses - same as aunty yvonne's pair! -off to the PA we tootled. once there, mum parked far, far, away, >< then, seeing as i needed to go pee again, FORCED :( me to walk in to the loo. then, after a long tinkle, mum FORCED :( me to walk over to wash my right hand, then she FORCED :( me to walk intothe day physio. mum and aunty joanne rocked off to buy lunch, with me calling to mum, "i want LOTSA gravy, please!" anyways, tricia turned up, and we started our physio session. just some normal (forward) walking up and down the parallel bars, then some left hand beanbag work. actually, tricia rolled my bare left foot - she'd taken everything off - over a tennis ball, to promote good movement, or sth like that, anyway. oh, almost forgot! actuallky, tricia jokingly scolded me for reading my own medical chart; personally, i'm just thankful that i read the line that i was of sound mental health! haha, i told you - me not psychotic, see? :P
so, tricia handed me back to pig mum and aunty joanne at midday, actually, next tuesday, i'll have no physio, coz mrs. mouse will be examining my wonky left leg. hope it goes well! anyways, the doorbell's just rang - my carer's early - it's only 2:49pm. Anyways, me going for a shower now – bye!
hello again! well, it's 7:10pm now ... and i've done lots! but first things first: i'm pretty sure that amanda turns 28 on april 16th. but i'll check when she comes again! oh, and she's having a jaffle for tea tonight. apparently, that's just a fancy name for a toasted sandwhich. i should check that out on dictionary.com ...
well, that site didn't have it, but reference did ... and she's right! a jaffle is a toasted sandwhich, or the actual thing itself (ie. a sandwhich press).
so, where was i? oh, yeah: she gave me a shower first, hairwash today. i went for a tinkle afterwards, then she redressed me, transferred me back to sparky, and i tootled over for some arvo tea. a yummy toasted ham and cheese sandwhich, a pear - amanda again declined a slice coz of her sore braces which had just been tightened - she took a quarter of my toasted cheese and ham sandwhich instead - and we both had a cup of tetley's british blend hot tea with 2 teaspoons of honey each. we had a chat while we were munching/drinking. turns out her mum, whose bday is on 31st dec, turns 49 this year. then we started on a good 40mins of hand exercises, e.g. theraband x 400 - 200 per hand - and arm raising x 200 - 100 per hand. we also had a go at the theraplaydough :P anyways, after all that was done, amanda helped me walk into the toilet once and back outagain, where i then practised piano for 20mins, 10 on each hand. i went back to the kitchen, where amanda then fed me 2 wholemeal crackers plus a chocolate nesquik. we settled down for the news after watching some lucky woman winning $40000 on deal or no deal. anyways, after the news - i don't remember the number but telstra shares have gone up again - yay! then amanda helped me walk into and out of the bathroom again. i watched a bit of today tonight, hosted by some guy, mum signed the sheet for amanda then she said her thanks and byes. i think she's trying to apply to come like 4 days a week. i like her! just, too bad, i haven't persuaded her to bring me a cheesy crust pizza yet. too bad, i need to pee. i'll come back after and tell you my final total of steps walked today.
yo! it's 8:45 pm now, and yes, mum FORCED :( me to walk over to the loo, FORCED :( me to walk over to wash my right hand, and FORCED :( me to walk over to the stairs, where clever dad had stuck up a railing so that my right hand could take a grip too. anyways, he FORCED :( me up the stairs, remember, right leg first, and into my bathroom, where i took a seat and blew my dribbling nose. to be honest, i had decided that i was too tired to make the walk to my room, but pig mum FORCED :( me to walk there anyway. i flopped on my bed, kept blowing my nose, and cuddled rainbow, who told me he had missed me and when was i going to sleep with him. anyways, dad came up to snap at us that dinner was ready, so, after putting my splint and socks back on, and me saying bye to rainbow, parents FORCED :( me to walk back down the steps. if i had thought i could've let my sore legs plop back into sparky, fat chance. parents FORCED :( me to walk to the gobbling table :P where, as pig mum had forgotten to cook the rice, we ate 'fun see', with a few choy sum, a piece of lobok, and a little piece of chicken omelette. i washed that down with a cup of HEAVILY watered-down pear juice. sadly, i can't say it's yummy tonight, coz there was seriously more water than anything. mum explains that itwas coz of the fact that the can is almost finished. oh well, mum then FORCED :( me to walk back to sparky, so my final plodding total for today is now ... 3200. anyways, it's 9pm already, so i think i will read the news then call it a night. not sure how many exercises mum will force me to do tonight, i just pray to percy the angel that it won't be too much. anyways, will see you all again toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
