Since the last blog there has been a lot of scrabble action with Val, Martin, and Sam last week (I got to play eunuchs and bitching against Sam). This week I attended another scrabble tournament at the hotel Norman which was very enjoyable even though I only won one game out of six. Alistair Richards showed me how i could have won two more games, strategies I wish I had thought of at the time :-)
On Monday I faced up to another cortisone injection in my right shoulder which I spent the time up to the injection crying and the time after it sleeping, hopefully it will work again this time.
My driving has improved markedly but sadly the chair still wants to kill pedestrians perhaps this is a subconscious desire on my part. On a more serious note I have been venturing further afield in the chair. Darrell and I went to the Boggo Rd markets last week end. The markets were further away than I thought as I used a "shortcut". The sour cherry Danish and bargain seafood were worth it.
Last week at hydrotherapy I managed to lift my left knee partly out of the water, sadly the pool was fully booked this week,. I will keep you updated on my progress.
In OT I have successfully opened a sliding door and a handle door with relatively little damage to the door.
Plans for the Dalgety unit are progressing and I am still hopeful that the mods will be complete by Christmas
Apologies to all for the lack of posts and the brevity of this one but there is so little time and so much to do. My scribe is weary and my two finger typing is too slow.
Like Buzz Lightyear says 'To Infinity and Beyond' - you are truly an inspiration - love reading your updates :)
