monday post 102b

hello again! em's new plodding total for monday now stands @ 5972 and joni's devotional topic's "i'm full". righteo, continuing today's events?
-once we arrived @ UQ, PIG mum took me once to the loo, then we caught the elevator up to level four with kat!
-today, i gunea pigged :P for about five students. first, i gave my brief medical history: "early 2007 brain tumour with complications (stroke) left hemiplegia and left hemianopia." then i looked @ kat cheekily. "can i tell them (the five students attending) what you taught some physio student about walking with me?" kat, immediately understanding, laughed. "go ahead," she smirked back. era raised ela, then i announced with a grin to the students, "excuse my french, but she holds on like SH*T!" laughter all around. XD i also outlined some goals i'd like to achieve in the coming months: playing piano with ela, being able to grasp objects and winning millions in the gold lotto. XD
-first, some girl did some assessment of ela, asking her to perform certain tasks, e.g. putting her behind my back and then rating the activity from one to ten on the difficulty scale.
-then, some guy who's been a exercise physiologist (what i like to call human movementists XD) for seventeen years got ela to practice holding stuff.
-and that was that! before i left, the teacher there alongside with kat invited me to get some morning tea before leaving; i grabbed a mini croissant, yum!
-while PIG mum tootled us home, era helped ela stretch for fifteen minutes then she opened and closed her palm one hundred times, holding each for a count of five. only 'twas hard to concentrate, coz PIG mum kept demanding i tell her what i did with the students this morning!
-when PIG mum tootled us home, i drank the 250mL in her water bottle then went to do a stinky unspeakable (horrid PIG mum both gleefully forced me to dak and un-dak myself), also leaning briefly against the side rail and asking percy please to help me get through the rest of the day okay.
-then PIG mum tootled us out to sunni cafe to meet mrs. dent and nana for lunch!
-it was great to see nana again. :) i gave her a copy of our writers group anthology and told her about how i was getting acupuncture once every week.
-hmm ... well, i wanted a chicken parmigiana for lunch, but mrs. dent somehow got me a chicken and avocado crepe! dunno if PIG mum had anything to do with that ... but i drank a yummy choc shake and we shared chips. and i think i finally remember! salt shakers have one dot but pepper shakers have many dots! XD
-after lunch, i went over to sunni bakery and got some yummy chocolate bun for arvo tea! aunty carol was there; i asked her to please say hi to uncle elwin for me. :)
-alas, after that, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk all around coles to buy the groceries for her.
-when she tootled us home, i turned off the alarm (at her order) then plopped briefly online until carol's arrival just before 4pm.
-*sigh* PIG mum's new diabolical plan for me, how to make me suffer as much as possible, consists of gleefully FORCING :( me to walk to the front door, unlock and open the door for carol.
-i headed straight into the bathroom for my nice hot shower straight after that - i washed my hair today, but thanks to carol who rinsed it out for me, thus freeing era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-argh, horrid PIG mum's gleefully forcing me offline to do more stupid exercises for her. >< well, fingers crossed i can bbl!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. but i'm still owed THIRTY MINUTES online tonight!!! >< *sigh*
