monday post

good evening! TWFT topic was information overload (2) and including hydro, em was hard at work plodding 3377 steps today. righteo, what happened today?
-dearest dad got himself up for work. em swung herself around to use the pot :P once, then cuddled her darling bear bear and sang/counted herself back into some heavy-duty snoring. :P
-PIG mum gave em ten more mins snooze time. i used the pot :P once more then got kitted. PIG mum made?(PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the dining table. ah, but i do really miss the days when she would've simply given me a museli bar and a mug of warm milo, then we'd just head out straight to the car. but *sigh* no, now it seems that she somehow derives FAR GREATER PLEASURE in forcing her poor daughter to walk more. oh well, it's enough that she's happy. :( never mind (is that actually one word, does anyone know? never mind or nevermind?), i'll survive. (i hope! :P)
-so breakfast was a mug of warm milo and a slice of toast, which i spread with butter and strawberry jam myself. yummy. of course, PIG mum wasn't happy until she got to force my poor left hand to hang onto the plate as i spread. oh well. :(
-time to go,PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car. after forcing me to buckle my own seatbelt, off she tootled us off to UQ for physio, listening to that CD miss amies gave me when i was in ICU, grace. it's actually of her playing the harp! but it's a very short CD, no more than 7 songs to it, if i remember correctly.
-luckily we found a park there. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk in, up and all the way into the loo, of course forcing me to dak myself. then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the waiting area.
-she flounced off to pay. ben came for me, explaining that he had a bung ... spleen, i think it was? poor man. he lent me the walking pole :p then Forced me to walk in.
-he stuck my dumb/sick/crazy :P left hand into that failed splint. he swears that the smiley face erin stuck on it turns into a sad face whenever i'm not here! :p sure, sure. :P
-joe came along too, and mostly i did lotsa sit-to-stand exercises, like, 30+! catherine/katherine popped by as well as i did some weight shifting exercises (all to the left, of course - heaven forbid if i were ever to try weightshifting to the right! :P)
-ben Forced me to walk out, and PIG mum tootled us home, of course forcing me to buckle my own seatbelt and snapping a no to all my polite lunch requests. oh well, that was expected. i'll try again on thursday. but thanks to PIG mum who pulled up at the newsagency (are they called newsagents or newsagency, anyone know?) and bought me the days paper. oh, and we listened to the pokemon soundtrack on the way home. it's so cute!!
-i needed to pee when we arrived home. >< so PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk in. no guesses as to who forced who to do all the dakking and un-dakking. then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the gobbling :P table.
-lunch was 3 yummy fish cocktails and 1 little, yummy chunk of crumbed chicken fillet, with a squirt of mayo. much thanks to PIG mum who mixed me a yummy chocolate nesquik. and dearest dad came home too!
-after lunch, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over and forced me to bend awkwardly to flick on the computer switch, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer table, where again i had to bend awkwardly to flick on the remaining three switches. then i tootled online for roughly an hour, until ding dong! cherame ?(with an ever-growing belly full of baby) arrived!
-she Forced me to walk to my kitchen chair for afternoon tea. but thanks to her and/or PIG mum who gave me the perfect arvo tea! a toasted cheese - yup, 2 slices! - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 squares. and a cup of tea, sweetened with some sugar.
-i read my book club novel for awhile, cherame let me have a feel of her tummy (baby faith/hope/grace hogan must've been sleeping, though, no movement) and she told me she's giving her two week's notice to work toms.
-cherame Forced me to walk to the bathroom to get kitted for hydro. i did one or two tinkles. then she Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but helped me dry it, thanks - and Forced me to walk to her car.
-off she tootled us off to hydro, listening to 104.5FM
-luckily, we found a park on arrival. cherame Forced me to walk all the way in. (i dunno why she refused to get out sparkless for me; i thought PIG mum had already put it in her boot?). the chair lift was in use when i arrived, so i took a seat, and when it became available, cherame Forced me to walk over to it.
-judith stuck my dumb/sick/crazy :P left ankle into KAB, and plopped me into the nice warm water.
-hydro today: walking forwards and sideways, squatting, left arm and left leg work, both legs work, and 2 of my favourite head dunks in the end. :P my bum's still too bouyant (sp?) to hit the floor, though! ><" :P
-i chose to walk out, then cherame wheeled me in for a nice warm, almost hot shower - obviously, hairwash today.
-i went for a tinkle afterwards, got dried, creamed, rekitted, went for one more tinkle. cherame handed me sticky and Forced me to walk back out to the car, and she tootled us back home.
-cherame Forced me to walk back inside. i read my book club novel for awhile, she kindly fed me a bowl of chippees and a mug of warm milo. at 6:30, she Forced me to walk over to my TV armchair, where i watched 15mins of some show on ABC as she kindly gave my dumb/sick/crazy :P left arm/hand a massage.
-at 6:45, she Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me dry it, thanks - and Forced me to walk back to my dining room chair.
-PIG mum forced poor em on 5+ mins of theraband exercises. after cherame left, she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) em walk over to that backless, armless thing (PIG mum informs me that it's actually called a 'footstool'. yeah, sure, if i've got size 52 feet. :P) and forced poor em on 35+ mins of left hand/arm exercises. we listened to the ABC news. then, after dearest dad returned home, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the gobbling :P table for dinner.
-rice tonight, with lotsa cos lettuce, some chunks of beef, and a little bit of yummy egg and tomato. dinner was washed down with a cup of yummy fruit and vege juice, which i was extremely careful to hold 'correctly'. actually, i used the chopsticks to pick up an extra little chunk of yummy egg as PIG mum kindly poured me some juice.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over where she forced me to bend awkwardly to flick on the computer switch, then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer desk, where i tootled online.
