And, and, and, more good news - I can stand up from the plinth downstair no hands - no pushing up, just standing up - it's all in the leaning forward and over (gives a whole new meaning to "kissing your ass goodbye"!!), so was a great day - and one more big leap and means my legs are getting stronger all the time. Alissa is now concentrating all on bum and legs, so lots of squats and sit/stands. The prone exercises I can do upstairs (more for toning than strengthening anyroad) but today we did some with the exercise ball (the gigantic one) under my feet so some of them were not as easy.
Didn't have lunch at all today - not in the mood and just wanted to rest up - bit pooped actually. I did put my washing on and on my (unsupervised) way to OT in the afternoon, chucked them in the dryer. So domestics are done for Xmas - :o) - I was supposed to have the speechies visit for swallowing exercises but that didn't eventuate cos nobody came - there's a lot of people around here who could benefit from time & motion training much as they are nice - I didn't wait past the time I was supposed to go to OT. I did the full routine in OT between the morning and afternoon visit so I do try even when I don't want to tho Emily had to give me a helping haul up out of the chair when I finished.
Took it slowly back upstairs and went to bed - now very pooped - and warned them I wouldn't be going out for tea tonite, too pooped to pop. So, the nice Indian nurse brought me tea, even got the salad with the quiche so had a lovely time sucking on cold cucumber slices, didn't try to chew or swallow them but did enjoy the taste and texture in my mouth.
I played "Cradle of Rome 2" until 12.20, when I was losing lives cos kept dozing off mid-turn, and then turned everything off and went to sleep
