tuesday post

good evening! TWFT topic is 'it is well with my soul' and em was hard at work plodding 7209 steps today. anyways, i don't really remember what time i came online, but it was like after 9:30, so PIG mum said she'd only allow me to stay online for one hour, meaning toms, i'm owed THREE hours. i'll make sure i'll get that back, never you fear! so, an extremely condensed version of what happened today:
-dug up. breakfast was a mug of warm milo and a crunchy choc chip museli bar. of course, PIG mum had to force my poor left hand to hang onto the museli bar while my right hand unwrapped it. oh well. that's why i'm giving it some love right now, before PIG mum sticks that terribly annoying splint on it tonight. personally, i've just happy/thankful that my stupid fingers don't all spasm out anymore! well, my pointer does still, sometimes, but not the rest of them.
-PIG mum tootled us off to the PA for physio. it was good to see dom dom back! she said claire had learned to say 'nan nan nan'. hehe, claire's initials are CD, her hubby's are ID, but she's rather boring. don't think DD stands for anything. :p
-physio was just walking around a bit and lotsa sit-to-stand work. a physio asisstant named michael calebretta (sp?) came to help me out. and this lady from france/canada came with morning tea!
-PIG mum fed me half a chicken and cheese sandwhich - she had ham, cheese and tomato, i think - then tootled us off to centrelink for my JCA. she gleefully FORCED :(first time) me to walk in.
-an indian lady called miriam met us. she did my JCA. i told her about myself, answered questions, etc. actually, i poked my tongue out at the security camera, too. :p hope no one will take offence! :P
-i rang dearest dad as we left. "hello, PIG mum!" was his cheerful pick-up to the phone. needless to say, i laughed my head off. :P PIG mum was most definitely NOT amused, and threatened us poor two chans with disembowelment (sp?) o_O:P
-PIG mum drove us to browns plains to see the behavioural optometrist. she FORCED :(second first) me to walk in.
-so i'm gonna be perfectly well behaved once she twiddles around with my glasses! (yeah, sure, sure. pigs'll fly and the moon will turn blue, first :P)
-the behavioural optom's name was lesley vedalgo(sp?). she gave me an eye test, Forced me to walk a lap or two with 6 eyes (my eyes, my glasses, and the special lenses she stuck on). apparently, they help me automatically weight shift to the left, or sth? dunno. but she says she's gonna put 'yolk' on them! my only guess is that maybe she will crack an egg or two on my glasses? so, when you see me limping/staggering/hobbling around with egg yolk dripping from my glasses, you'll know why. :P no, PIG mum actually tells me it's "yolk prisms" not "egg yolk."
-PIG mum took me to the loo once before we left. perhaps the receptionist lady gave us the wrong directions? coz instead of turning left then left, i walked and rounded THREE corners before i made it to the loo! ><
-but CODA rang as we were leaving. "sorry mrs. chan, no one's available. we haven't found anyone for toms yet, either." >< toms, i think i'll haveta send an email to mariana and complain. ><"
-i asked PIG mum where she'd like to go for lunch, at 2:45pm! :P she chose cafe mi, coz by that time, there should be parking downstairs.
-there was, but she chose not to park there coz "i'm crap at parking." so she parked further away, and happily made poor em to walk more. >< oh well. i'll survive.
-we sat down at cafe mi. we ordered a chicken chop with spaghetti and a pork chop with udon. yummy! then we shared a cold milk tea and a cold horlicks.
-as we left, i bid a happy hello to mr. kebab guy (lol, that's what i honestly call him; you reckon i should ask him for his name next time i see him? :P); PIG mum said next time/sometime soon, we prolly should go buy one off him. PIG mum tells me that once, when she went to buy me a kebab for lunch, he was super-nice and asked her, "how's your daughter doing?" guess he remembers when i used to buy a kebab off him every alternative week. i mean, nowadays, i still would, if i could get a two piece feed every other sunday! the only reason i ask for it week after week is because i never get it! >< i can try on thursdays too, i guess, but recently, PIG mum's being saying, "emily can only eat (this, this or that) for dinner. oh well.
-once we were home, PIG mum booted me to bed. i thought i wasn't tired or anything, but still managed to fall asleep pretty quickly. i used the pot :P once, and asked PIG mum to please wake me up in ten to watch the news. should i really be surprised that she didn't? well, her excuse was because she fell asleep too. yeah, sure, whatever. hmm ... does my new pokemon clock or the new one aunty vicky brought for us have an alarm? must learn to set it!
-i kept snoring my head off. i heard the garage door go up, meaning dear dad was home, except i kept snoring. PIG mum came in once to empty the pot :p and re-arrange my kicked blankets; when i counted up to 4000 i used the pot once more then called her.
-dinner was 5 yummy boiled dumplings from aunty irene. thanks to mum for a tiny wee plate of soya sauce to mop up with my dumplings. no thanks to her though, for forcing my poor left hand to hang onto the bowl as i ate. oh well, i've explained to it that i don't wanna choke trying to eat as fast as i can, it understands. my smart dumb/sick/crazy left hand. :P
-i had to bend awkwardly to flick on the computer switch before i could tootle online.
-yippee, i finished! toms should be good - aunty wendy's coming toms, i think? and that human movement guy is coming in the arvo with some other guy. fingers crossed they won't force me to walk too much! but because they're coming, i'm let off a torture session with vincent the physio. :p believe me, i'm incredibly relieved/grateful/thankful. honestly!
-toms, also gotta remind PIG mum to ring anna and see if we can go for lunch at the glen hotel! hopefully, third time walking into the day hospital without sticky did it!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight. and PIG mum snipped off my left hand fingernails. sheesh, i don't mean all of them! :P just that they were getting long :P oh, should prolly mention too that i chewed my right hand fingernails 4 or 5 days ago.
