Chit Chat #35

I have lots of physio today. Something happened at the end of last week, I had tingling all over my body. Then I could move my legs a little bit. Yesterday in physio I was able to roll over in bed, I could lift both my legs and do all the exercises. They told me I would not regain feeling in my legs, that the damage in my spinal cord was complete. I told them nope, I will walk.

I haven't felt my legs for almost a year, the muscles are very weak, but I am proving them wrong every day. The physio cried yesterday because I could move.

It is a bit like groundhog day here. We are getting lasagne for lunch today so I am excited for that.

Hope everyone has lovely days, the sun is shining here and the sky is bright blue with not a cloud in sight. That always cheers me up.

Oh wow that’s amazing

I hope you guys are okay today @strawb @BelleAmie @Peaches_xox

How is everyone’s day going so far? Mine was great, until about an hour ago when it all kicked off at work I will post about it when I finish my sausage rolls

I hope you’re okay @watermelon sugar

My day has got better but I have bad heartburn and it’s making me feel sick!
I’m working through my break today to get all my clinics for august booked so I can get appointments out to patients so they have it there and it saves them from worrying!!

What’s everyone having for dinner tonight? I need inspiration guys

 

[fudgebox]

Not sure I might pick up one of the Indian bags from Morrisons

Someone I work with had a baby last year and had a really bad birth experience, she was in intensive care for a while but the baby was fine, she was mentioning it at work and then one of my other work colleagues who is trans, ( was previously a man) said ‘us women have it hard’ 🫣🫣🫣 I sat silently in my desk pretending to be distracted, but wow a huge argument happened and she shouted ‘YOU ARE NOT A WOMAN’ then I went on my break because wow. Intense

Thank you all for your kind words. You have been there when I was feeling glum and discouraged so it is nice to share some good news.

Physio was great again today. I sat up completely unaided on my air mattress. It is amazing how much progress has been made in such a short space of time. I feel like my body has woken up.

On Friday they are going to try me with a standing aid.

They told me I would never walk again. I can remember so clearly how they broke that news to me. I cried and accepted it because doctors know best. But inside I was thinking you don't know me, I will walk again. I can remember posting on here about how they said I wouldn't walk and me saying I will walk. I've defied all the odds. I will walk again and I will go home.

 

[tinkertailorsoldierspy]

You're an inspiration @ordinaryjelly. Let us know how the standing aid goes on Friday!

Hope everyone else is doing okay. Mental health is so tough, sending love x

 

[fudgebox]

You really are amazing @ordinaryjelly one day we will have a chitchatters party!

I forgot to go to Morrisons and pick up a curry bag but I’ve got a jar of curry in the cupboard and some chicken so just going to use that instead

 

[whisperchat]

I’m thinking Thai tonight

 

[Rxt156]

Tuna pasta and Lidl garlic bread OBV. Just almost sliced my thumb off on the tin though. Anyone else soooo clumsy. My family say I need to slow down and concentrate

 

[Boredofthegram]

Cottage pie (with peas for mini bored ) here and I sweated my socks off making it. It’s so hot here.

He did really well at sports day today and won his running race and his team came second overall so he was buzzing bless him. Meeting with the teacher after school went really well too so I can hopefully chill a bit tonight now.

 

[Peaches_xox]

Hiiii guys. I’m back from my travels today. I’m sorry don’t kick me out but I found b&m very underwhelming. Here’s my tiny haul. Little peaches was buzzing with his daisy though

then I went home bargains which was also under whelming but the snack selection was better. Can’t say I’d be running back to either shop in a hurry tbh. Ohh and I went cafe and had omelette and chips which was the best part of the day tbh. And cuddles with my friends baby he’s soo cute.

Then after school I went and met my two mates and their kids in the park & little peaches had a good old play and run around so that was lovely. Just had pasta bake for dinner.

Back to work tomorrow I’m gutted

 

[BelleAmie]

Congratulations @ordinaryjelly, I’m so chuffed for you you are the most extraordinary and wonderful jelly ever xx

Absolutely amazing you keep smashing it, and proving everyone wrong. That had to be an amazing feeling right there.
Your going to smash it Friday I’m sure.

I’m fairly new to this thread, do you mind me asking what happened?
