monday post 51d

good evening once more! em's new final plodding total for monday now stands @ 2427. righteo, continuing today's events?
-after lunch, we said bye to kathy, then PIG mum tootled aunty anne, herself and me to the greenslopes private hospital.
-hey, unfair! why did i spend almost 1.5 years cooped up in the princess alexandra hospital?! greenslope private hospital, the rooms we passed, they all have televisions and kitchens and everything!
-after asking several people for directions, we arrived @ whatever clinic my appointment was
-the receptionist told us to sit; i grabbed this new idea magazine about one year old and read about the birth of darrwn lockyer's first child.
-some doctor came out and introduced himself. i couldn't catch his entire name and said, "sorry, you're dr...?" he laughed and said, "just call me mark."
-mark wheeled me into his consult room (he wouldn't let era help) and PIG mum followed. he and PIG mum both sat, then he looked @ me. "okay, tell me your story." he said.
'umm ... from birth or from my brain injury?" i asked him.
that provoked a laugh. "just from your brain injury, thanks." XD
-well, i gave him my usual spiel, then he wandered around, asked for permission to check out elf. i shucked off elf's footwear, adding, "i washed my feet yesterday, but apologies if they stink." another laugh. XD
-afterwards, he wheeled me back out, saying he wanted to talk to PIG mum for awhile. so i sat in the waiting room with aunty anne and continued reading that new idea mag i'd started earlier.
-when they both came back outside, mark knelt down beside me and explained that if he gave me botox, i'd haveta get synaesthetic first.
-thanks to mark who bulk billed me.
-after saying our thanks and byes, PIG mum and i wheeled me back down to the car and we tootled aunty anne home, with our thanks and byes.
-PIG mum tootled us home and i tootled online until carol came. lol, the moment she stepped through our front door, PIG mum was telling her all about the adventures of last night! actually, she told me to tell carol what had happened. carol was really sympathetic. "you guys must be really traumatised!" she gasped. XD
-carol Forced me to walk to the bathroom for my nice hot shower - i washed my hair today, but thanks to carol who rinsed it out for me, thus freeing era to hold my stupid right eye shut.
-i had one tinkle before carol flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, had another tinkle, got creamed. carol rekitted me and i had one last tinkle when she was putting on my knickers.
-carol rinsed the floor once for me, then Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea. i ate my yummy custard danish - actually, it wasn't just custard danish - it was custard and apple! :D carol also made me one mug of tea, white and two, my cup for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-after i finished, i asked carol to please give ela a massage, but she refused, saying 'twas too early. that was 5pm.
-i asked again @ 5:15, and carol did start massaging ela after washing my plate and cup. BTW, she takes hers white and two also, but with less milk. she and her hubby are having bangers and mash for dinner tonight, BTW.
-carol took me once more to the loo before i signed her off and she left with my thanks and byes. she's back on wednesday.
-i listened to nine's news simulcast on river 94.9FM and read some fanfiction until dinner was called.
-rice tonight, with lotsa yummy wombok, some onion and some yummy chicken. ela practised pronating on the table.
-dinner was washed down with one mug of rice green tea with one small teaspoonful of honey, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', coz PIG mum hadn't gleefully forced poor ela to hold the bowl while i ate.
-one more loo trip, then i tootled online.
-PIG mum's forcing me off to soak erf and elf in the footspa @ 9:15.
-toms: late morning torture session with vincent the bloody physio. ><
-fingers crossed i can have lunch @ little taipei foodcourt/elsewhere afterwards, coz then i'm seeing kelvin leung to get my new mouth splint!
-cathy's coming to shower me in the arvo. no toastmasters toms night.
-but i must remember to ask PIG mum could i please have my icecream toms night instead of wednesday night - coz i'm attending the workers dinner @ kwany's house on wednesday night and going to garbo on thursday! righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
