I woke up late this morning, and got up late as well. I thought Mum and Dad hadn’t got up, so I was buggered if I was going to get up. Turns out, they were already up…
I went for a shower this morning. First one in 3 weeks! The last one I had was just before the fall, so I was probably overdue one. Took a bit of messing about with the zimmer to get it into the right place to get in the shower, but I managed it. Mum and Dad have a seperate shower, so that makes it a million times easier than trying to get in a bath. There is only a small step to get into it, and the floor is not slippy at all.

I woke up this morning fairly early. Not quite as early as yesterday. I looked at the internet, and the blog stats. Plenty of graphs there to look at. I got up around 9am, and had a shave. I used Dad’s shaving foam, as mine ran out in Shanghai.
I went downstairs using my crutches rather than arseing it. Much easier than I thought, and quicker as well. Once downstairs, I had 2 Weetabix™ with milk but no sugar, and a glass of orange juice. I have said it before, my body is now a temple.

This afternoon was relaxing. Mum and Dad left for the field just after 3pm, and I was alone in the house. I sticked to the toilet, and marvelled at the joy of not using a bedpan. Gina turned up at around 4:30pm, and I showed her my X-rays. It seems I am an X-ray attention whore. I would probably show the postman if I could get to the door quick enough…
Mum and Dad came back at 5pm, and Gina went off for a meal with Danny. The rain eased off a bit in the evening, and the roofs were drying out. Steak and chips for tea tonight, and then Mum and Dad watched a DVD of a BBC TV programme called “Outnumbered”. Not bad really. I am feeling a bit tired after yesterday’s so I won’t be late to bed tonight.
Woke up early this morning. I still haven’t found the most comfortable sleeping position yet. However, I did roll onto my left side, and it was not too painful. Not real pain, but just pulling and stretching at the muscles. If I continue to do that, it should ease off more and more. I read for a while, and have nearly finished “Sigh for a Merlin”, and then I wrote a word document with yesterdays blog, while it was still fairly fresh in my mind. I managed to nip into the bathroom when Mum got a phone call, and get myself washed up for the day.

I woke up at 4:40am. Got ready, and was waiting for the flight nurse (Nurse Jane) at 5:30am. Ma Yan went onto the balcony, and looked for the car. It was in front of building B. The Diamond Court security turned up, and a few seconds later Nurse Jane called to confirm the room number. She was at A1307, so I told her to come to A1105. She arrived, and then gave me a quick check over of blood pressure, O2 saturation, heart rate. All were normal. She then gave me an injection to help prevent DVT whilst on the plane. I asked her to tell me when she was going to do it, but she had already jabbed me and finished!
