Looking back at the first 10 days of March in my life and health. Saturday 1st March: DYDD GŴYL DEWI HAPUS, or Happy St David's Day. Had to get up and do a shop for Dad. Then nodded off on my sofa, got a terrible neck pain when I woke. Then had to run a friend about.  Sunday 2nd March: Helped another friend today, this time to move. Didn't do much, drove, and moved a few very light things, somehow ended up with terrible back pain, had to put my father off, was planning on popping to see him today. Will need my friends help when I get allocated a new flat or bungalow with housing. Monday 3rd March: Can hardly move this morning, terrible back pain, worse than yesterday and right shoulder in agony too. Not sure what else is affected as I have not been able to get out of bed yet to find out. JUST pushed myself to get out of bed, left hip in agony and knee with it, may need to use my crutch today. I MUST get a few bits for my Dad today, can't let him down today. My...

Looking back at the past week in my life and health. Sunday 15th Feb: Woke up sick again, feel cold and shivery now, not good. Was going over to Dad's later, may go Monday now, see how it pans out, back under the duvet I go. Didn't get out of bed until around 11am, and was a slow day, almost never got recycling out, but did it, my back didn't thank me. Monday 16th Feb: a bit achy but nothing too bad, was sick in early hours again, getting to be a regular thing. Left eye is wheapy. Wednesday 18th Feb: A slow start, a while to get out of bed. Felt cold all day, just couldn't get warm at all. Friday 20th Feb: Had Amazon delivery, on the delivery instructions I put leave by back door, where was it left? By my flat door. A knock & run delivery. Too heavy for me to move by myself. Saturday 21st Feb: Lower back and hips in agony, got bag of top soil to put outside (Hannah helped me with that), got to bring some compost in so I can start marigold plabts off inside ahead ...

Monday 23rd October Ventured out to Bridgend for a Toby breakfast, didn't have much, but Neil did go up for seconds, his plate was full the second time!, then aimed for Cardiff and to IKEA. Seemed to have walked for miles in there, then to M&S at Culverhouse Cross. Why are shops so brightly illuminates? it's not a foodball match, don't need to be flood lit you know, some don't enjoy the bright lights, you can count me in that number! All in all a break from the flat, plus I had Neil's take on the world en- route too.... and added plus, maybe. Got easily drained, as my sleep in the night was interrupted by the need to pee, it's my new diabetic tablets, before I was on them I only needed to get up once,.now's it's 3 or more, annoying, very annoying.  Talking of tablets, went to SA1 surgery to pick up prescription, only to discover the prescription has gone to my chemist in Winch Wen.  I've got an injection delivery due tomorrow, so need to wait in ...
