DT turned up at around 3:00pm. Full of the joys of his new apartment. He has just been down for his results from Shanghai East. No problems for Dave.

More Zimmering

Just before 12, I went zimmering to the toilet, and then came and sat in my chair for a while.  I then had lunch in my chair!  Firsts all round today.

Saturday Rounds

May 30th, 2009 No comments

I was up and zimmered myself to the bathroom (most satisfying) at about 7:45 this morning.  I then sat in my chair and had breakfast for the first time out of bed.

At 8:20, my knee was giving me a bit of an ache, so I got back into bed.  Soon after, I was asaked to choose my lunch, so I went with Tuna Salad.  Not too big, but very good.

Vivian the GP came round at 8:45, and said she was going to confirm with the surgeon about whether I still needed to be taking the oral anti-biotics.

Then it was back to “Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure” that Zac has lent me.

The Walker

May 29th, 2009 No comments

Today, I got a walking frame (some might call it a Zimmer frame), to help me get to the toilet.

I did try some crutches, but my co-ordination is screwed, and I fell back onto the bed.

Crutches should follow soon…

More visitors

Bob showed up today just before 10am.  Then Tony texted me to say he was on the way up from his medical.  Tony brought in 4 bags of Cheese and Onion Walkers Crisps.  I always liked Tony.

Then, Renney and another chap from work turned up! 

Bob stayed until around midday, but the others left at 11:30 to get a taxi back to the office.

I got out of bed and stood up. No weight on the injured leg though.

Where in the World…

May 25th, 2009 No comments

Ken popped in today after work for me to look at his laptop.  He wanted me to show him how to use the website that I had sent him a link for.  It is a Chinese website, but you can watch films, and TV pogrammes from around the world on it.

Ken’s biggest problem is the number of viruses on his laptop.  It runs quite slowly, but it runs really hot as well!

Hopefully, he can use the website now.

The IV

They removed the Central Line from my neck which they used for the surgery, and for antibiotics after the surgery.  Oral anti-biotics from now then.
