Tea? (Part 2)

[Night Train]

Was that the same physio you mentioned earlier in another thread??

No, previously I was only seeing the consultant (or one of the many random people working under him, I've been told) who at the last meeting spent about only a minute with me.

This was a physiotherapist who I haven't met before. She was understanding of my concerns and went to check the consultant's notes. She read to me all the 'advice he had given' me and so I pointed out that all he had written down was what I had told him I was doing off may own back!

She said that she couldn't go against the consultant's advice to keep the boot on for 23hrs a day for the next 6 weeks but did suggest I call just before the three weeks to see if there is a cancellation appointment I can have to try and get the boot off sooner.

The Physio's advice on exercise seems to be good and helpful though and she did seem to want to help me out as much as possible. However, she did also say that it is unlikely I will have the strength to drive or ride again for quite some time.

So I came back and baked a cake for Dad.

Apparently it is my Dad's birthday this week. His second this year!
His first was in June on the western calendar. The current one is on the Chinese calendar. According to Mum, someone with an April birthday could have three birthdays this year as there is a leap month and so two 'Aprils' in the Chinese calendar as well as the western April!

Wish your dad, happy birthdays from me.....that looks a great cake time for me. I like the idea of multiple birthdays....I think I might adopt that and try and catch up on all the extra ones I've missed

Cheers, the cake was a simple reduced sugar mix with added mixed fruit and ginger.

I was just working out the double birthdays. Dad was 25 when he arrived in the country in 1960 so that is 25 birthdays out the way. Since then he has had 52 x 2 birthdays, that gives 104, add the 25 and that makes him 129 birthdays old! On that basis Mum works out at 131 birthdays old and still only looks late 50ish.

Yeah, you deserve some extra birthday this year!

Hang on.... NT, if your Dad's Western birthday was in the week before mine, does that mean I'm due a second one now?

For some reason, today my arms are very ...

35 miles worked that small bit of cake off before I even had it

I do have Aldi Doritos-a-like for later though

I can do 'small' sometimes

Is the fake tea thread taking off at all? Seems a bit embarassing to me

 

[TheDoctor]

Can I have a cup of tea and a Haz-Mat suit?
TheDoctor is unwell.
The world is falling out of his bottom.
Quite frequently...

Speicher and I have been over to have a look.....they claimed that we couldn't do humour, which made me giggle a bit

Not even rising to it, leave 'em to it I say, miserable gits
