good evening, all! sorry i didn't post yesterday, PIG mum said she was too tired and booted me off. meaning that i'm going to be owed 3 hrs online for the next 2 days b4 i go back to the PALTRY >< 2 hrs that PIG mum restricts me to. somehow i doubt that i'll be allowed online for 3 hrs tonight; i came on at 7:40pm, so i guess i'll just have to take note of the time when PIG mum boots me off and keep a count of the time i'm owed. hey, i wonder, when i get better at my staggering around the house, if PIG mum will leave the modem on, give me lappytoppy and let me stay online till i'm ready to go to bed? with practice and my stick, i'm pretty sure i could toilet myself, flick off the light and hobble back to bed myself. it'd be weird though, me wearing my shoes on the bed. righteo, make way for the spotty :P points for the day!
-em got dug up super-early this morning; i had an eye appointment at 8:30am! so i'm feeling pretty jealous of tonie right now - the lucky bugger got to sleep in!
-breakfast was just a plain glass of milk in my favourite pig mum glass :P oink! then PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to tuesday's post to read what i really want to say but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car.
-PIG mum tootled us off to the PA, listening to westlife's unbreakable volume 3. but the traffic was a shocker! we drove along the T2, but still went through a whopping 12-13 songs b4 we arrived!
-i was incredibly grateful when i heard PIG mum open the boot to get sparkless out. once plopped into it, i wheeled myself in, PIG mum lending some steering.
-we signed in, and so began our long wait. from past experience, it's usually a 3hr wait, and this time was no different.
-we saw one of the nurses, christy, who PIG mum met at some couple camp she and dad attended a few years previously. she was very nice and gave us a packet of bikkies each! i wheeled myself to the toilet once too, and wheeled myself over to the basin to wash and dry both hands as PIG mum had a tinkle herself. then i wheeled myself back to the waiting area. did you know, the TV in the waiting room has teletext! i read an entire take 5 magazine and parts of some other one too.
-finally my go, i wheeled myself in, and dr. vu (i think that's his name?) saw us. funny thing ... my right eye has gotten better, but my left eye's gotten worse? dunno, don't ask me ...
-he gave me an eye test, put dye in my eye, etc. i told him about my world domination plan, and he said good luck with it! muahahaha!!! :P
-anyways, time to go, he put me down for another 6-month follow-up, and i wheeled myself back out to the car, saying bye to christy on the way. i think her husband's in the health occupation as well?
-we saw habib! i called out a happy hello to him, and promised him that i was working hard~
-PIG mum tootled us home, still listening to westlife unbreakable volume 3.
-once home, PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to tuesday's post to read what i really want to say but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk back inside. i rang dear dad.
-lunch was a yummy sausage bun and half a yummy pancake with half a drizzle of maple syrup.
-ding dong! jo from coda arrived, followed by vincent the physio, amanda, karen and aunty vicky (not in that order, of course), who had brought her lunch with her.
-vincent the physio forced me to walk with my stick around 3 circles, then he forced me to walk to the bathroom, b4 forcing me to walk to the laundry, then forcing me to walk back to my dining room chair. then he showed karen, jo and amanda some of the arm exercises i did.
-go amanda! after all my hard work, she suggested icecream for everyone! so i got a tiny bowl of choc chip icecream, and a small spoonful of mango and green tea gelato. yummy! but poor karen, she didn't like. :p
-vincent he physio and karen rocked off. jo stayed behind for a chat, i got to voice my complaint to her. dunno if it'll help, though. CODA have already failed us this week. ><
-jo left, and mum gleefully made good evening, all! sorry i didn't post yesterday, PIG mum said she was too tired and booted me off. meaning that i'm going to be owed 3 hrs online for the next 2 days b4 i go back to the PALTRY >< 2 hrs that PIG mum restricts me to. somehow i doubt that i'll be allowed online for 3 hrs tonight; i came on at 7:40pm, so i guess i'll just have to take note of the time when PIG mum boots me off and keep a count of the time i'm owed. hey, i wonder, when i get better at my staggering around the house, if PIG mum will leave the modem on, give me lappytoppy and let me stay online till i'm ready to go to bed? with practice and my stick, i'm pretty sure i could toilet myself, flick off the light and hobble back to bed myself. it'd be weird though, me wearing my shoes on the bed. righteo, make way for the spotty :P points for the day!

-when jo rocked off, PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to tuesday's post to read what i really want to say but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk into the laundry for a shower. she forced me to dak myself too, then left us to it.
-amanda gave me a nice hot shower - hairwash today. she kindly left the hot water on for an extra minute or so so i could have a tinkle.
-amanda got me redressed, then gave me my stick and made me hobble out to the gobbling table. :P
-arvo tea was a yummy charsiu bun, plus a cup of tetley's australian breakfast with 2 teaspoons of honey. i introduced amanda to a piece of charsiu, and she liked!
-oh, my final plodding total - umm, well, apparently i plodded 3895.5 steps each day. huh, you go figure. :P
-PIG mum introduced amanda to that AWFUL singer, andy hui. :P so nasally. ugh. :P then she rocked off to her appointment with vincent the physio.
-i told amanda i needed to do a number 2, so she made me walk over into the loo. i did a stinky unspeakable - wiped myself too - then called for amanda, who made me walk over to wash my right hand. she kindly dried it for me, then made me walk over to the piano stool.
-my left hand practised twinkle twinkle 5 or so times, and my right hand twiddled a few scales and songs. i then also taught amanda how to play twinkle twinkle. i'll see her again on monday, let's see if she remembers how. :P
-news time, amanda made me walk over to the couch, and fed me 3 half crackers plus a glass of yummy chocolate nesquik. see, i only ask for it once a week!
-7's news at 6pm was read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sport by shane webcke and weather by john schluter. the most interesting surname i saw was 'lawlor'.
-after the news, i asked to go to the toilet again, so amanda made me walk to the toilet. i did my 2nd stinky unspeakable for the day. but this one was messy. >< but i wiped myself, then called for amanda, who made me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, and made me walk back to my chair.
-we toughed it out in connect 4! in the end, amanda prevailed, 10 games to 9. huh, i'll get her next time! :P
-actually, while we were watching the news, PIG mum rang to say that she and dad had gone for a date at sunnybank oriental. :P but they got back b4 7pm, so i signed amanda off and we said our thanks and byes.
-dinnertime! some egg, a piece of fish (i spat out 2 long bones) and 3 yummy dumplings. i washed that down with half a glass of yummy milk, coz our can of pear juice is finished, and PIG mum lacks the ability to open the new one. which reminds me, we need to buy a new can opener!
-PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to tuesday's post to read what i really want to say but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the computer desk. she put the back brace she bought for me at bad backs on, and i popped online.
-ok, let's see if i can run through what happened yesterday quickly!
-PIG mum dug me up, got me kitted, and gleefully made (please refer to tuesday's post to read what i really want to say but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the breakfast table.
-i spat out my mouth splint, and gobbled my breakfast of a bowl of nutri-grain.
-PIG mum kindly popped me a fish oil tablet and a cranberry.
-time to go, PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to tuesday's post to read what i really want to say but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car, where she tootled us off to the southside sports and community club.
-PIG mum kindly plopped me into sparkless upon arrival, and i wheeled myself in.
-some people were already there; we had a chat and one of the guys kindly got me a glass of water.
-i told PIG mum that i needed the bathroom, so after asking directions, she steered me and i wheeled myself in.
-after a tinkle, then washing and drying both hands, i steered myself back to the group.
-after everyone had assembled, we ushered ourselves in and ordered.
-but we must've ordered last or sth - our meal came last! one of the guys had finished even b4 i had started! o_O
-our food finally came, a yummy battered fish and chips for me, and a honey/lemon chicken for PIG mum. i think i was pretty lucky to get a smidge of salt on my chips b4 PIG mum snatched the shaker away!
-i saw lesley and hubby get some fruit and icecream, and asked PIG mum if we could please get some too. to my utmost shock/surprise, she said yes!i slurped mine all up happily, PIG mum ate her fruit then let the icecream melt b4 drinking it. dunno why.
-milissa took some photos for us, so i wrote her down my email addy and asked her to please send the photos to us.
-time to go, we all received participation certificates and said we'd meet again in a month or two's time. i wheeled myself back out to the car, steering still done by PIG mum.
-PIG mum tootled us home, westlife still in the CD player.
-PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to tuesday's post to read what i really want to say but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk in on arrival.
-ok, PIG mum is kicking me off to bed now. time is now 9:33pm, meaning that i've been on for 2 hrs, so that means i'll still be owed 3 hrs today and toms. goodnite!
cheers,
em. ^^
