My New Armchair



CJ took delivery of my new reclining arm chair today.  We chose the fabric from our local store and is much better than what were the standard choices by the chair manufacturer.  Apparently, CJ said it is very comfortable, which can only mean one thing! I can hardly wait to get my chance when I come home for another trial this weekend.  
Next week we have a big Team Meeting about me coming home permanently and I go to Melbourne to see my ABI specialist.  I'll be busy.  The Babe

The Big Lake, A Long Walk and a Sore Bum


Last Saturday, CJ was in Melbourne at a conference.  Meanwhile the weather was perfect here in Sale for my first long walk - over an hour walking around the Big Lake in Sale in the wheelchair.  Saw the ducks and swans and birds.  In the end I got a sore bum and lots of Vitamin D and Kerry got real tired pushing me around in the chair.  Can't understand why she didn't use the motorised one!  The Babe

Rock n Roll - Been a Long time



Last Saturday night I went to my first rock n roll dance in two years.  It was an Elvis dance...I loved Elvis.  I'm wearing a cool cardigan which I bought from Lansky Brothers store in Memphis, when I visited years ago.  Anyway it was a great night and we had a good band. I remembered many people, but not your names or quite how or when you fitted into my life in the past.  But somehow I knew that you all had a place, and it may help recovering more memory.  So to all, who came to say hello, many thanks.  I know it must have been hard for you to do that.  Thanks to CJ for asking me to go and meeting me at the Hall - he was DJ for the night.  And also thanks to Catherine G and Kerry my Support Worker fro getting me there.  I had a great time.  All I need to do is get rid of that blank stare look at times...   The Babe
