thursday post

good evening, all! em got made (PLEASE GO! to the top of thursday's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) to plod 4374 steps today. righteo, let's just jump straight into the spotty :P points for today!
-em felt like doing a stinky unspeakable this morning, so much thanks to PIG mum who got me a glass of water and helped me wipe afterwards.
-actually, i forgot! it's a thursday, i get to type everything out once:
-whenever i had to walk, i'd say PIG mum FORCED :( me to walk. when she banned me from using capitals, i just used Forced until she decided that that word offended her, and she banned that word entirely. so i switched to the word 'contort, but she very quickly decided that that word offended her also, so she banned me from using that word also, saying that henceforth, i was only allowed to use 'made'. so i used MADE, until PIG mum decreed that it ALL had to be in lowercase. *sigh* what else can i do but comply? actually, i used 'gleefully made', until charlsy told me that i was banned from typing gleefully, ONLY made.
and, about last night:
1. PIG mum made (PLEASE GO! to the top of thursday's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to drink my nightly half a glass of milk. (i'm very careful to drink it 'correctly' when PIG mum's here to observe, ie. with my pointer and third finger in, not my third and ring, or else i just grasp the whole cup)
2. PIG mum made (PLEASE GO! to the top of thursday's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the bathroom.
3. i had to stand while brushing my teeth and flossing (apparently, it's a GREAT SIN? if you lean against the sink when you floss?) as usual, my right hand took the initial pre-brush rinse, but PIG mum only forced my left hand to floss with my right hand 3x, instead of 4x, afterwards. not really sure why, maybe it's coz i was very careful to rinse at least half the cup before my right hand took the final after-brush rinse?
4. after washing both hands, PIG mum made (PLEASE GO! to the top of today's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to dry them.
5. PIG mum made (PLEASE GO! to the top of today's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the toilet.
6. PIG mum forced me to dak myself to sit for a tinkle.
7. after i stood back up, PIG mum forced me to pull my trousers back up.
8. PIG mum made (PLEASE GO! to the top of today's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash my right hand. i reached over to dry it, too. here's another thing i'm not really sure of, why PIG mum won't help me dry it.
9. PIG mum made(PLEASE GO! to the top of today's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to back.
10. still no pull-up pants, argh. >< at least i've had a dry month so far!
11. every night, i ask PIG mum that, when she wakes up during the night (which she most undoubtedly does) and if it's past 3 hrs, could she please come downstairs and let me go to the loo once. i've honestly no idea why she refuses, i think she's said sth about how her poor back can't possibly bear the extra burden of moving my showerchair in place for me. i don't really understand, i mean, all you have to do is step on 4 little brakes ... oh well, it just means i'll wake up in the wee hours of the morning, just about ready to burst, and call for PIG mum then. of course, she also forces me to dak myself and pull up my own knickers afterwards, but i'm used to that. ><"righteo, back to the spotty points! :P
-no time for more sleep afterwards, i just got kitted for the day.
-breakfast was a full glass of water, followed by a full glass of milk, before PIG mum made (PLEASE GO! to the top of today's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car.
-off we tootled to UQ, listening to anthony's old CD. my favourite song is the third one; if i remember, i'll put it as my MSN name before the week is out.
-actually, thanks to PIG mum who put one of aunty joanne's yummy museli bars and a bottle of water in the car to finish off my breakfast! so i chomped it as we were getting to UQ.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE GO! to the top of today's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk in on arrival. i went to the loo; of course, she also forced me to dak and pull my trousers back up. then she made (PLEASE GO! to the top of today's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, before she made(PLEASE GO! to the top of today's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk into the physio gym.
-lotsa standing and right arm reachy stuff, b4 the tilt table. best of all, kat gave me another giant freddo b4 we left! yay~ i count that as one of my easter eggs :P
-jen accompanied me back down to the car. i traded emails with her b4 we said our thanks and byes.
-PIG mum reparked the car, before she FORCED:( (first time) me to walk to genies.
-i took a seat, and ordered a yummy BLT. too bad, PIG mum denied my polite request for a choc shake or even a hot chocolate. oh well, the cold water was refreshing, too. she got herself the lunch special, some beef in red wine with vegies. i tried a bite - eww. yucky :P
-one more toilet trip before my OT appointment.
-PIG mum borrowed a wheelchair from the lady at the front desk, and i wheeled myself in.
-mainly, we talked about how my new splint was going - i'm so relieved/proud that my stupid left hand fingers don't all just sneak out at night! we also discussed and did a few simple fine motor activities with my right hand, e.g. writing, getting the lid off a glue stick, cutting, etc.
-we made another appointment, said our byes and thanks, and i wheeled myself back out. eep, look at the time! 3:45pm.
-PIG mum tootled us back home, and we apologised to karen for being so late. PIG mum made (PLEASE GO! to the top of today's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk into the laundry, and forced me to dak myself too b4 i sat down.
-karen gave me a nice hot shower - hairwash today.
-i got dried, redressed, then karen handed me my stick and Forced me to walk out to the gobbling table. :P
-arvo tea: a toasted cheese - score, 2 slices! thanks karen! means that i've satisfied even last week's sadness of only getting just one slice the whole week - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 squares, and a cup of bushell's australian breakfast, sweetened with 2 teaspoons of honey.
-i read my raymond e. feist novel, karen gave my left arm/hand a massage, and told me that she and jamie were having yummy battered fish and chips for dinner. also that matthew the naughty cat is once again in trouble >< - he scratched poor karen's hand only this morning! oh, and jamie will be going to his dad's tomorrow.
-at 6pm, i scooted over for 7's news, read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sport by shane webcke (hey, i wonder why they never have a girl doing the sports report?) and weather by john schluter. i think toms weather is sth like 20 - 29? still rainy. :(
-karen kindly fed me a single cracker and a cup of cold milo as we were watching the news.
-we then watched today tonight, hosted by matt white, until 6:45. karen then Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me dry it - and Forced me to walk back to the computer.
-we said our byes and thanks to her at 7pm. think she'll be back soon, either saturday or sunday.
-i skipped dinner coz i had such a late afternoon tea (around 5:45pm), but PIG mum did force me to drink a full glass of water first.
-righteo, and so ends my post for today! toms, i'll get to type my post out in full, coz it's easter friday! and therefore, an 'event' :P hope to see most of yous (i'm pretty sure that's incorrect grammar, but hey :P) at our easter service toms night!
cheers,
em. ^^
