monday post 105

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 2966 steps today (meaning if i can return online tonight after carol leaves, i'm certain i'll have passed three grand XD); secondly, TWFT topic's 'god is working in your situation' but thirdly and most importantly, i'm still owed THIRTY-ONE minutes online after carol leaves tonight!!! righteo, events for today?
--i used the pot :P three times last night and once more @ 8:15am when dad just didn't leave for work! lol, in the past, he'd often be leaving @ 7:45am! when he did finally leave, @ like 8:35am, i asked him, 'how come you're leaving so late today, dad?" lol, his sheepish answer: "i overslept." XD
-anyways, once he left, i used the ten minutes till 8:45am having a mostly silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her when she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied. 
-after that, bear bear and i cuddled and dozed; PIG mum was inside with "fifteen more minutes." soon enough.
--when she came back, i swung mysef over to the pot :P once more for one/two tinkles, just swinging myself back when i realised i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable. PIG mum got me kitted, gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the bathroom and brush my teeth, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling :P table.
--breakfast was one slice of yummy bread with the merest dab of butter and yummy lemon jam ever, plus one mug of warm horlicks, which i held 'incorrectly' when PIG mum was upstairs changing.
-after also downing the mug of water 'incorrectly', i went and did a stinky unspeakable. of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself, but i also leaned briefly against the side rail and finished my mostly silent chat to percy, asking him please to help me get through the day. actually, 'twas funny, coz just when i got to the loo, PIG mum ordered, "hurry up, else we'll be late." i asked my bum, can you please poop like, now?" and she answered, "coming!" 'twas a very quick trip over the loo, indeed! XD
 -afterwards, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD. of course, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt all day; we listened to lui fong all day, too.
--while PIG mum tootled us off to the southern cross sports club, era helped ela stretch for @ least five minutes, then she opened and closed her palm @ least fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-PIG mum parked somewhere then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk inside. before PIG mum could ask the lady manning the reception desk where we should be, the lady, obviously noting that i was disabled, asked, "are you here for STEPS?" and when PIG mum replied "yes", came and showed us the way to go.
--when i sat down, i saw milissa! we waved frantically to one another. XD
-after being introduced, some lady called areti (weird name, huh?) spoke, before two people spoke about how to remain active after a brain injury.
--around that time, nature called. PIG mum helped me once to the loo. phew, i went fast enough that when i came back out, the lady was still discussing the same slide! XD
-for morning tea, i went and got myself a scone with a miniscule dab of cream and strawberry jam. PIG mum got a little cup of green tea, which we shared as the second half began.
-this man just talked about the brain and the effects a brain injury can have on your mobility.
-and after taking questions, 'twas time for lunch!
--oh, when morning tea was called and PIG mum was following me into the loo; someone tapped PIG mum on the shoulder, 'twas jon! when we came back outside, i shook his hand, then asked him, 'umm ... are you john enright?" he laughed, then replied, "nope, i'm jon giesler, the handsome one." XD
for lunch, i sat between milissa (who told me she met her husband online! lol, perhaps i could try that, too. XD) and that she was discharged from BIRU early 2007, so maybe she saw me when she was attending day hospital?
-PIG mum kindly got me one glass of orange juice; for lunch, we split one plate of yummy chicken schnitzel and one plate of gravy-less pork.
--before lunch, i exchanged addresses with debbie, who's got six grandkids now! i asked her how come she was using an electric chair, coz i remembered when i was in BIRU, she was learning how to walk, and she just answered, "i can't walk" although PIG mum later told me that she used to walk from her hospital room to the BIRU dining table and that she had walked from her front door to the wheelchair this morning.
-after lunch, i stopped for a brief yak with john enright, explaining to him that PIG mum will only take me to informative sessions like these, but not to just lunch dates, but he laughed and said, "we have four of those each year; i'm expecting your attendance @ the next one!" XD
-PIG mum took me once more to the loo before tootling us home. i walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above god's hatred and not letting him push me over.
-well, carol should arrive to watch me shower in like ten minutes.
-fingers crossed i can bbl after she leaves, else i've just got UQ physio late morning. fingers crossed i can have lunch somewhere yummy afterwards, then annette's coming to watch me shower toms arvo.
cheers,
em. ^^
