tuesday post

*yawns* :P oh, and i plodded 2788 steps today. well, i counted that i did 220 with dom dom, so i guess PIG mum forced me to do the rest. anyways, regarding last night:
-just repeat what i've been saying all throughout the week. i'll type it all out again every thursday.
-oh, there is one thing worth mentioning: last night, after brushing my teeth, i noticed that there was some toothpaste stuck to my right hand. unfortunately, PIG mum noticed that also, and took great pleasure in forcing my left hand to scrub my right hand 46+ times. oh well. anyways, spotty points, incoming! ( and i wonder is it worth noting that i know do my blog in dot points instead of typing the post out in full because PIG mum complained that i was taking too long to type it. anyways ...)
-PIG mum dug me up this morning. i can't remember what she helped me with or what she forced me to do, but when all was said and done, she Forced me to walk out to the dining hall.
-i spat out my mouth splint and drank the required glass of water.
-breakfast today was nutri-grain. the just wrong is finished. :P
-time to go, PIG mum Forced me to walk out to the car, then off we tootled to the PA, listening to westlife.
-PIG mum parked, then she happily Forced me to walk uphill.i went to the loo.
-PIG mum Forced me to walk over to wash and dry my right hand, then Forced me to walk to the day physio gym.
-PIG mum rocked off to go buy us lunch, and i started physio with dom dom. she said that baby claire has strawberry blonde hair like her, and while she already knows how to say 'daddaddad', the farthest she gets to saying mum is 'um um umm' :P hehe, how cute!
-after physio, dom dom handed me back to PIG mum, who happily Forced me to walk in for lunch at the day hospital.
-i got a chicken and lettuce sandwhich, PIG mum got a chicken and avocado. PIG mum also made herself a cup of tea and myself a cup of coloured water.
- i asked PIG mum had seen habib, and whether i could go visit him for a cup of tea, but she replied that she'd only seen gavin, and that the man had somehow become really FAT :P
-PIG mum transferred me back to a borrowed sparkless, and we went down to the P&O.
-my new splint? another FAILURE. >< i dunno if she gave it to us to take home, or if she took it back for more remodifications. but i got a prize for being one of their most difficult patients ever! 'milly' the millipede! she's cute, made out of orange foam.
- PIG mum returned the borrowed sparkless, and Forced me to walk out to the car.
-we drove off to some occupational therapy clinic. PIG mum FORCED :(first time, remember?)me to walk inside when we got there, and i read a gossip mag for awhile until it was my turn.
-my go, PIG mum Forced me to walk in. there were 2 OT's there, but i've forgotten both their names, sorry. anyways, they made me a new splint, with red, white and blue straps! lol, i feel like an american, now :P
-armed with my new splint, PIG mum Forced me to walk outside. i needed to go to the bathroom, so PIG mum happily FORCED :(many firsts, today!) to walk there. much thanks to the lady who held open the door for us.
-PIG mum Forced me to walk over and wash my hands, Forced me to w alk back to the reception area, and Forced me to walk back to the car.
-we tootled home, still listening to westlife.
-PIG mum Forced me to walk in when we arrived home.
-karen arrived soon after, and gave me a shower first. i taught her about where to wash and dry so that nothing falls off :Pshe took me to the loo afterwards.
-karen got me redressed, switched me back to sparky, and i tootled over for arvo tea. a cup of tetley's british blend, sweetened by a spoonful of honey, and a toasted cheese sandwhich. too bad, no ham left, but i'm satisfied with the fact that i got 2 slices of cheese!
-i read for awhile, and karen grabbed me for some theraband left hand exercise.
-at 6pm, she kindly turned off the aircon and flicked the news on for me. yay, telstra shares are up! (just can't remember by how much, sorry).
-after the news, karen put my socks, splint and shoes back on and took me to the loo once.
-we did a crossword together for awhile, and i signed her off at 7pm. she and jamie are having battered fish and chips for dinner tonight! yuuum, i want some! :Pand sadly, matthew the cat (half burmese, half ragdoll, or sth like that) is in trouble again! this time, the naughty cat gave poor karen a long, deep scratch on her finger! so, karen tells me, he's still in disgrace. but scruffy - a red kelpie, i think - is doing well.
-after karen left, i wrote bday cards for dear aunty a (her bday is today) and anna (her's is on the 4th).
-they all arrived, i gave them their cards, then dear dad called dinner.
-mum slapped the orange apron on me, and dinner tonight:rice, some vegies, one of aunty a's big mushrooms - so i can't ask her forany more until march, my bday. i wonder if i can wheedle some out of her for dear dad's bday? all washed down with a yummy if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down cup of pear juice.
-i tootled back online. PIG mum says she'll call me when cake is served.
-anyways, i think toms is the UQ clinic. hope it'll go well! even more, fingers, toes, and all other appendages crossed that PIG mum will take me to dong fong for lunch! i haven't had an 'A' or 'B' meal for awhile!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. oh, i gotta go writexmas cards for tim, tom, ed and kat b4 i go to UQ toms!
P.P.S. i'd better go find the story i'm writing leanne for her bday. i'd better do it quickly - PIG mum's getting cranky with me!
P.P.P.S. back from cake celebrations with dear aunty a and anna. funny thing - anna somehow lost her breath for the last candle and i had to blow it out for her!she said that she'd put too much milk in it, but it tasted great to me!
