monday post 15

good afternoon! there wasn't a topic for TWFT today; just lotsa bible passages, and em's been hard @ work plodding 1514 steps today. sorry, the topic's actually 'work from your core strengths'. also, i didn't plop online till 3:13 today, meaning that whichever new person's coming to look after me leaves tonight, i'm still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-SEVEN MINUTES left online tonight after she leaves!! i've remembered to put that down onto my spreadsheet, so all's good. :)anyways, gmail's stuffing up right now, so i may as well get started on today's events!
-i swung myself over to use the pot :P once when dearest dad got up for work today. he told me he'd read my note and eaten some chimney! (PIG mum and i ate 1/4 of the chimney last night; i wrote a note to dad, telling him to 'eat some chimney', complete with illustrations. :p)
-PIG mum poked me awake with "ten more minutes." i've no idea if she actually gave me that long, coz i fell back asleep! :P
-PIG mum got me kitted, made me walk out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast.
-i took one sip from the required mug of water 'incorrectly'. breakfast was around fifteen of those weetbix bites things.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the 4WD. today, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and she drove me off to UQ for physio listening to lui fong.
-some student met us @ the door, said he was my physio for like, the next month. i said cool, but can you please let my mum take me once to the loo first? :P he laughed; said he'd wait right here, and asked PIG mum to please wave him upstairs through the window when he was done.
-so PIG mum made me walk up to the loo, made me walk over to wash and dry both hands (she only bothered to wash ela and ignored poor era; luckily, i'd counted how long she washed era for and could wash her back the same time, myself) and made me walk over to the waiting room.
-the meaniepoo refused to give me a gossip mag; just flounced off to pay, so i just leant back in my comfy chair and had a brief but silent chat to percy, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i'd need to get through the day.
-the physio student introduced himself as jared "with one 'r' and one 'd' :P)and Forced me to walk inside, but the coolest thing was that he lent me both a walkbelt AND a stick! :D meaning erf stepped past elf every step. :)
-hey, my carer/life coach/support worker/whatever you call them now :P has arrived seven minutes early! her name's 'ngan'... i wonder where she comes from ...?
-jared had me lie down on some plinth first, and moved all my left limbs around.
-ann came over! i gave her a hug. :) and her canto's awesome! i told her about little mickey pig, and she asked me, "does he call you 'biu jie'?"
-jared also tested my vision out, before he Forced me to walk out to the parallel bars.
-and i played with than plastic sword today! ela had her turn, too. :)
-we finished with lotsa stepping, walking and weigh-shifting along the parallel bars.
-jared Forced me to walk back out to the waiting room, handing me back over to PIG mum.
-PIG mum took me to the toilet once before we left. this time, she gleefully forced me to dak myself, before again washing only ela (i washed era) and making me walk back out to the 4WD, where i changed the disc to westlife's 'cheek to cheek :P'
-PIG mum tootled us off to the buranda shopping centre.
-lol, PIG mum forgot to introduce herself to ngan! :P
-anyways, gotta go. i'll try to come back online tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^
