It's Just The Steps!

Welcome to my Hump of the Week.

I have had a much quieter day than yesterday.

Even had a little lie-in until 6.30am!

(Woo Hoo)

I felt my creative juice flowing..

Foot up, laptop out...

 

 I was expecting a visit from my brother and dad.

I got a lovely parcel through the post...

Big hooks only need apply!

20mm & 25mm

I have appointment to the hospital when I have the old cast off, and new cast put back on for 6 weeks.

Getting out of the house is going to be fun that day! 

My brother and dad turned up for tea and chat.

For some reason, my dad can still think I get into my car and drive.

I told him the clutch foot is still out of order..

Soaked the good foot..

 Now to break those big big hooks in...

 

 

Surprise, Surprise!

I left it a bit longer to go to the toilet...

Then 2 hours later....

Those wheelchair's wheels had smoke coming off them!

 

 That's better!

Now to relax with Honey,Lemon,& Ginger tea.

Once again, it was Singing time with Alexa...🎶

Motown time!

Doing what the cup says...↓↓

Had some nice surprises....

Having text conversations with friends,

Had a card and collection from all at Job 3 

 Then I had a box delivered by the postman.

Flowers from some lovely friends 💮

I then had a visit from my lovely friend who was in hospital, before I went in.

We caught up over coffee and chat.

Her lovely daughter made me a card,

which featured my childhood heros..

Bagpuss, Zippy,George and Bungle.

 (That's being framed and put on the wall!)

The flowers have been added to the vase with water.

In times of need,

 It's nice that you know your real friends are there for you to fall on 💖💖💖

 

 

Having The Touch Of Magic!

Welcome to a day of much needed Monday Motivation!

It would have been my late mum's 73rd Birthday

Once hubby and kids left the house.....\o/

Time on my own with my wheelchair for company...

While waiting for the broadband to be turned on...

I had to hop with my other toy to reach the telly remotes...↓↓

Now to snuggle under the blanket to catch up some telly watching.

Once my kids came home from school.

They moved some plugs around and....

Magic!

We have internet!

Two hours with some smooth 70's hits from Alexa...

I had to educate my kids with who

was singing the songs...

"Who's singing this?"

"Kenny Rogers."

"Who's sing this?"

"Free"

Etc Etc Etc

I had a dry mouth answering the questions to the 1970's Pop Quiz....

Hot chocolate Time

Ring Ring Goes The Bell...

Slept like a log once more....

We had to move the living room around abit.

So I could do a U-turn in my wheelchair. 

The Amazon Echo was booming out some great 60's tunes..

Like Matt Monro's "On Days Like These.."

We had to use our small bedroom television to watch some telly in the Living Room from now on.....

Found the much needed bell...🔔

Time for some needed Indian Food...

 

Better burn off some calories by doing some  sexy moves in the wheelchair.... ♿

Goodbye To Another Nasty Family Member...

I slept like a log in my Laura Ashley bed.

Now to get used to hopping everywhere.

Hubby had a to-do list.

He had to drop in something for the staff at the hospital where I stayed for 10 days.

I meanwhile caught up on some telly.

I had a new toy to play with too.

 Just turned over to watch Dalziel and Pasco.

The television went off, and the red light was flashing at us.

Television broke down....

Talk about bad luck in the past 3 weeks.

1. Mobile Phone broke
2. Broke foot
3. Television broke

Then I had a message off my brother.

My late mum's sister had passed last Tuesday.

The same sister who sent my dad a card after my mum died, saying:

"Sandra ate herself to death".

Then she and my mum's mum didn't attend my mum's funeral.

When my nan passed away in January,

I chose not to go to the funeral.

As when my brother went, my aunt said to him:

"Who are you?"

Then started saying nasty comments to him at the wake.

The last time I actually spoke to her.

It was 14 years ago and having my hair done at her hair salon.

 She said:

"Has your mum lost any weight lately?"

Not a nice person at all.

Another funeral I won't be attending! 

 

 

Pieces Of 8, Then Hop x 3

I was having loads of Friday Feeling as I might be going home today...

Just had to wait to move onto a ward...

Leaving my B3 side room which I have spent 10 days in....

But first breakfast..↓

 Enjoyed the view from my bed...↓

Time for a fish and chips lunch↓

 I was finally moved to the ward.

 I had a new plaster cast added to my leg.

Then had a X-ray on my foot to see how the surgery went.

A light tea↓

 Got dressed ready to go home..↓

When we did get home.

How am I going to get to my bed in the living room with two front door steps, and a plaster cast on my left leg???

After an hour of messing about

I finally made it to my bed at last!

There was a nice card to come home too :)

 Now have to hop like a pirate,

For the part a parrot is needed

And for me to say "Pieces of 8 a lot!"

 

 

Keep On Moving The Foot!

Did plenty of disco dancing of the repaired foot during the early hours.

As I was suffering from bad foot pains.

(I had to keep moving it)

Not much sleep either, as the patient in the next room was being very noisy.

One consultant came to see me and asked.

"What is she doing here!"

(nice bedside manner)

Increased painkillers.

Replaced old cast with new cast.

Hopefully won't have those pains back.

Back on the toy tomorrow.

Nice food to finish the day with...

Hopefully I might be back home tomorrow...
