1.PIG mum made (i used to type FORCED, until PIG mum banned me from using capitals then later that word. so then i used the word 'contort', until PIG mum said i could only use the word made. so i used MADE until she ordered me to put it all in lowercase. *sigh* what can i do but comply?) me walk to the bathroom after i'd had my half glass of milk.
2. PIG mum forced me to stand while i brushed my teeth.

-ploped into the showerchair, i did a stinky unspeakable as the phone started ringing.
-much thanks to PIG mum who helped me wipe. then she got me kitted, and gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i want to write but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum ><) me walk out to the gobbling table as ding dong! aunty joanne arrived.
-breakfast was nutri-grain. PIG mum kindly popped me my pills afterwards - a fish oil, a cranberry, a bilberry and a garlic, coz she said i was exploding quite terribly. ><
-time to go, PIG mum gleefull made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i want to write but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum ><) me walk out to the car. aunty joanne tumbled in too, and off we tootled to the PA, listening to westlife.
-PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i want to write but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum ><) me walk inside once we got there.
-dom dom handed e over to this physio assistant from ireland, who lives in the 2nd largest county in ireland, after dublin. it's got some alcoholic name, like beer. :P
-so, lotsa walking along the parallel bars, some right arm chucking beanbag work. dom dom came back to lead me on a walk without my cane b4 she handed me back to PIG mum.
-PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i want to write but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum ><) me walk to the loo for a tinkle, made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i want to write but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, and gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i want to write but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum ><) me walk all the way back to our car. actually, she told me she and aunty joanne had bumped into habib while i was at physio, and he told PIG mum to please say hi to me for him! lol, but i do miss his gruff voice! and his cuppas. :P and we bumped into my favourite polly pleb boss too!
-PIG mum tootled us home, listening to westlife still.
aunty joanne said it was her turn to force me as she made me walk in to the gobbling table :P
-she stayed with us for lunch - a teriyaki (PIG mum calls it 'terrible yucky' lol!) chicken sushi roll, a glass of plain milk, and some I&J fish fillet with lemon and herbs.
-we said our byes and thanks to aunty joanne, who can't come next week coz she's moving house!
-PIG mum decided that she was kicking me to bed, so i complied.
-my carer for the day arrived! her name is darryl moore, and she's already 61! she's a kiwi, too.
-so PIG mum dug me up, got me kitted, then gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i want to write but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum ><) me walk out to a chair, where she let me pop online for a few mins.
-PIG mum and darryl got me kitted for hydro, then PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i want to write but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum ><) me walk out to the car. off we tootled to hydro, listening to westlife. and hey, darryl can sing some of their songs too! and she's from another agency, not CODA or staffing options. real communities, i think it was called.
-PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i want to write but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum ><) me walk into the pool.
-i said hello to judith, and she strapped up my ankle for me, b4 PLUNGING me into the water (ant-slow, remember? :P)
-we did some squatting, bike pedalling, walking, and left arm exercises. i walked 202 steps with her, so my total for today ... 4090. judith told me that she liked watching federer play the best - and she let me dunk my head in afterwards, just b4 we finished^^!
-i walked out of the pool and into a showerchair. darryl gave me a nice hot shower.
-i went for a tinkle afterwards, then got redressed.
-PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i want to write but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum ><) me walk back out to the car, and she tootled us home, westlife still in the CD player.
-PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i want to write but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum ><) me walk back inside. leaving instructions for my arvo tea, she rocked off on a date with dear dad :P
-darryl made us both afternoon tea. toasted chicken slice, cheese, tomato and mayo sandwhich for her, and a toasted cheese - yay, 2 slices! thanks darryl! this week has been satisfied! chicken slice and mayo sandwhich for me. a cup of tea also, with 2 teaspoons of honey.
-hehe, darryl couldn't figure out how to turn the TV on! :P so we just chatted, until 6:50pm or so, where she gave me back sparky and took me to the loo once.
-PIG mum came back from her date with dear dad :P so we said our thanks and byes to darryl. i hope she can come soon again!
-dad came back home, and dinnertime! rice tonight, with lotsa cos lettuce and some yummy pork, courtesy of aunty anne. i wonder why she doesn't eat beef?
-of course, PIG mum forced my left hand to hang onto my bowl as i ate, and thanks to dear dad who kindly poured me a yummy, if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down pear juice.
-i tootled back online afterwards. dear dad's been trying to kick me off to bed ever since, but i've promised PIG mum i'll go after she has her shower.
-well, i hope toms'll go well! i've got a follow-up appointment to see dr. olson at greenslopes real early in the morning, then the library thing! i hope there's cake! :P righteo, goodnite, all!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. PIG mum has been threatening to take away sparky. i hope she'll leave him be for a little while longer! i mean, i'm HARDLY in him as it is! ><
