thursday post 15b

good afternoon! righteo, i finally had the net to myself (meaning PIG mum finally left poor elf alone) @ 2:59pm, meaning that after the carer/life coach/support worker/whatever they're called now :P leaves, i'm still owed ONE HOUR and ONE MINUTE online! meaning i'll just go note that down in my spreadsheet right now, then i SWEAR, i'll try to get back EVERY SINGLE MINUTE I'M OWED!!
-righteo, today em's been hard @ work plodding 1438 steps.
-this morning, sneaky dad removed the splint. poor ela tucked her thumb gently back inside for some sleep @ last, then whimpered, "where's bear bear?! i wanna cuddle him!" bear bear immediately rushed over, and soon, we were both happily snoring our heads off together. :)
-PIG mum came inside later, poked me awake with "ten more minutes." i begged please for fifteen, again, she only compromised with ten. but i must've fallen back asleep, coz when PIG mum poked me again, i could've SWORN that i still had ten minutes! *sigh* PIG mum IMMEDIATELY DISSED me sth major, too. ><
-but i got up, used the pot :p once, and PIG mum got me kitted, before making me walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-i took one small sip from the required mug of water 'incorrectly', then tucked into breakfast: one small bowl of weetbix bites.
-PIG mum popped me my drugs :P afterwards. i was very careful to hold the mug of water 'correctly', of course.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. today, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we also listened to michael leung's greatest ten years hits all day.
-PIG mum tootled us off to UQ when we arrived. i used the loo once, went to wash and dry both hands (PIG mum only bothered to wash ela for twenty-five seconds, so i washed era for the same time herself afterwards. no more, no less. it's only fair.) then PIG mum made me walk over to the waiting room, where i bid a happy hello to sam and angana. PIG mum flounced off to pay, again refusing to hand me any gossip mag, so much thanks to angana who kindly passed me a famous mag when i asked her.
-jared came for me, with a walkbelt but without a stick, and Forced me to walk inside.
-our last session started with fifteen sit-to-stands. then, jill wandered over and watched us for awhile. i think she said my hips are kinda rotated funny? not really sure what she means by that ...
-we ended with me taking my shoes off and jill/karen acting as my AFO when i stood and weight-shifted to the left.
-before we left, i gave the chocolate bars to jill/karen, paul and jared. jared Forced me to walk back down to the car and showed me his tongue trick! it's not just rolling it; there's like three dips in it! PIG mum took a photo with her mobile; sadly, mine's outta batteries, otherwise the quality would be better.
-PIG mum tootled us home, again snapping a refusal to take me out to the runcorn BBQ chinese restaurant for lunch coz i've got acupuncture toms and i'll be having lunch out then.
-i went to the loo once back home, of course, PIG gleefully forced me to do everything.
-lunch was one yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie cut into two rectangles. i drank one cup of yummy aloe vera 'incorrectly', then i kept doing my sudoku. i'm trying to finish eighty by sunday!
-PIG mum paused me to gleefully force poor ela to wash all my dishes, then gleefully forced me to do an additional 15+ mins of hand exercises,
-i went to the loo once - again, no guesses as to who gleefully forced who to do everything - then i tootled online.
-well, kay's here now, so i'll just sign off, get elf's AFO and sock back on, and hopefully come back online tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^
