We would do 10 days at sea and then 3 to 5 days in port so we had a ton of time to spend our money on drinking etc.

Hello Sailor.  Looking for a good time?

Oh I definitely was!! LOL!! I had a great time though!!

And Scotland wasn't like the 'hey sailor want to have a good time' except in the few bars we visited regularly, outside of them it was just regular people who you could talk to and learn things from. Most of the regular people asked us alot of questions too and were surprised at some of our answers, you got the feeling that alot of them had never left their area whereas we were 'seeing the World'.

:)) Well, um, yes. Totally pasted I would think. Well-beyond what even rolling out the pub straight into the harbour would be... not that I have any experience of that. 

 I have experience of assuming there are no feet there where I last saw them and that I must have left them in my shoes when I took them off... which is a tequila thing I think and probably the most fun I am to walk with :)

I'm absolutely no fun now though :/ and the cold weather is not helping. I can't get up enough speed to warm up for a start and places that used to take seven easy minutes to get to, like say my GP's surgery, take forty awful ones. Calling en route trying to explain to a receptionist that I've accidentally glaciated and the half hour I'd thought would be enough to get there, wasn't and I'm still on my way, is a bit like actually walking while talking at the same time, which is frankly preposterous if people still expect me to leave all my breathing until the end of a sentence as well *fetid blink round planet* It's just not going to happen, people. I know 'cos I have been trying, and just can't. Then the doctor rings back and asks you where you are exactly and tells you a big fib that he'll still see you so "please don't turn back for home", and sets an ambulance crew on you instead. 

And what's with doors, all of a sudden? Why are they so heavy?

So my new me is entirely useless at everything, people. She twitters on about stuff like, oh look, a shop. Let's pick up something for dinner while we're here until a potato goes in the basket. Or a tin of catfood, and suddenly nope... it's not happening anymore and that dinner's scrapped because not getting the basket off the floor again let alone to a checkout, is rather a big clue that getting it any further won't happen either. So that's how I spend my time when I'm not here moaning about it. Oh. I just had an idea :)

Hold on.

No I didn't.

It's always lovely to see you lot though :) 

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Yes it was I LIKE that one too!!

Anniet time is a very good healer and also gives you what you need to relearn how to do the same old things you used to do but are a bit more difficult right now. Don't rush things and pretty soon you will be thinking things like 'hey that's easier than I remember it being' will a much more common occurrence than it is right now.

Yes. Picking us off on approach is really quite inspired, Mike. I was most impressed ;) Coaxing one back for another attempt this afternoon because they're *slow blink into space* not salty enough... is pure genius. So if I can find someone with a hat on on the way, I will take it off to him when I get there.

Awww Mikey :) Your words are beautiful and so perfectly timed :) Thank you. I heard from the rehabilitation team yesterday which was a big yay because I thought they'd forgotten about me but they haven't and said they want to see me on my birthday.  There's going to be cake, and sandwiches and party poppers and cake and...

WOO HOO!!! There will be lots of testing to to figure out where you are right now, then they will get you into some kind of exercise program, my wife had to choose any 3 of 4 types of exercise equipment every day but NOT the same 3 as the last time she was in there, and then at the end they did a retesting of her to figure out if she had improved enough to be released to continue on her own. Her insurance paid for her to go 3 days per week for 3 months and it really did help her alot. She said the first few days were the hardest as she tried to get the hang of all the equipment but she figured it out. They had her hooked up to a monitor around her waist and she had to check in every time she switched to a different activity. Sometimes they would do her blood pressure too but mostly they just wrote down the numbers from the monitor she wore. She did have a pt person with her every time as she went from machine to machine to help her do it right instead of the wrong way. She started out really easy at 5 minutes per machine but at the end she was up to over 20 minutes with no problems and even had the tension turned up a bit on each machine. I HOPE you can do at least as good AND continue it afterwards!!
