monday post

good evening! TWFT topic was 'honoured, but not exalted!' and em was hard at work plodding 7176 steps today - i promise i didn't shake my pedometer today! at times, i admit that i get so frustrated that i do give it a shake or two, but today was all just PIG mum forcing poor em to walk ... anyways, gimme a few mins to say heylo to all my online MSN buddies, and i'll be right back to post/blog about today! err ... gotta sign in first, actually ... :p
-oops ... i actually spent, like, an hour! chatting to people! so, mega-mega quickly;
-breakfast was a chunk of my massive cookie and a cup of plain milk, with my strawberry sippah (sp?) straw i got from my showbag!
-physio at UQ today. just lotsa reaching and standing, plus some stepping work.
-PIG mum tootled us off to PA for my eye appointment, listening to my car CD (what we listened to all day).
-PIG mum gleefully forced (3rd time) to walk all the way in.
-she kindly bought me the paper, then returned with a fish, chips and gravy for me, and a fruit salad for her. i drank a iced chocolate, no cream, from starbucks, and had to give PIG mum two or three of my chips. see, i remember what she told me; every time you eat sth, you MUST give me some. so i donated a few chippies to her. the fish was all mine, though. i'd already complied and given her some of my chippies, so was under no obligation whatsoever to give her any of my yummy fish. she, of course, didn't share any of her fruit salad with me.
-PIG mum FORCED :(first time) me to walk to the eye clinic. thanks to various nurses and that who encouraged me, telling me i was doing a good job and to keep it up. :)
-some lady did a general eye test on me first, then i was told to sit back outside and wait. only it was kinda hard to read with the drops that made my pupils dilate! o_O so i took off my glasses and read.
-PIG mum took me out to do a stinky unspeakable while i was waiting.
-finally my turn, a doctor called mark? luke? chiang? saw me. we waited such a long time, and had such a short appointment ... :p
-PIG mum tootled us home. i snacked on my half of the yummy honey soy chicken crisps that PIG mum had kindly bought. of course, she said they were too salty; i mean, come on, this is from a woman who finds white bread too salty and plain boiled white rice too sweet! :p
-so i got home, and popped online for roughly half an hour until chrissy arrived. but shock and horror - she was 5 mins EARLY! (remember, she's always at least 5 - 10 mins late.) :p
-so she Forced me to walk to the laundry for my shower, also forcing me to undress all of myself.
-a nice hot shower - hairwash today? thanks, PIG mum tells me no hairwash today.
-i had a tinkle before she flipped the water off, then one more when she went outside to get my AFO - she finally remembered! :p
-i dried myself, creamed myself, got rekitted. chrissy Forcedme to walk back outside to the gobbling :p table.
-arvo tea was a yummy sausage bun plus a mug of warm milo. chrissy made herself one too (a warm milo, not a sausage bun. sheesh. :p)
-chrissy Forced me to walk over to my TV chair. she flicked on seven's news, read out by rod young and kay mcgrath. sport by shane webcke and sport by john schluter.
-i asked chrissy please to give ela a hand/arm massage, and got a brief one, as i watched today tonight.
-at 6;45, chrissy Forced me to walk to the loo. i did another stinky unspeakable, wiping myself this time.
-chrissy came to get me, Forced me to walk over to wash and dry my right hand, ordered me to switch off the lights - i complied, of course - and Forced me to walk to the mouth of the stairs.
-i said my byes and thanks to her; she'll be back on wednesday.
-PIG mum took em on a forced march up to my room. i sat down at the computer, looked at more photos, and read our irridium (sp?) chef script we did for our chinese skit!
-i used the parents' bathroom once before PIG mum THREW (ouch! ><" just kidding. :P)me down the stairs.
-but no, it wasn't over yet. PIG mum had me sit down at the piano and forced me on countless minutes of left hand exercises.
-finally, dinner time! rice, lotsa whichever vegetable we ate tonight ... prolly bok choy :p and some meat. dinner was washed down with a mug of some juice, i presume (lol, i really need to go to bed soon - my brain's shutting down! ><), which i was extremely careful to hold 'correctly'.
-i tootled back online.
-phew, i've finished! so i'll just check, then allow PIG mum to force me to bed. physio at PA toms, then we're going to centrecare, then robert will be visiting us! awesomeness~ hope everyone has a great day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
