Bloody hell………..1/4 of the year gone already!! It’s crazy how fast time goes. Only 11 days and I will be another year older.

Anyway………so how was your Easter? Did you gauge yourself on chocolate? Debs parents got us a Hero egg each. Mine was gone in 3days!!! Deb still has hers and I have no hope of stealing any as she knows how much she has left to the gram!!

So what has been going on in our life. Well I’m kind of doing the CIMT…….who am I kidding, no I’m not. A little demon in my head started throwing scare tactics at me. “What if you do that and then it spills and you fall over with the glove on because you couldn’t steady yourself like you good without the glove?”. I know silly right!! Although trying the CIMT has made me realise how the brain gets the unaffected side to take over just through being inpatient……..well it does for me. So now I have more squabbles with myself about using my right arm instead of my left.

Things like brushing my teeth. Small part of my brain is like “ok we are going to use my right hand to brush brush my teeth”. Then the remainder in like “really! So we have to make sure the right has the right grip, then help get the toothbrush in the mouth, and keep hold of the arm throughout as the right doesn’t have the strength to hold itself there! Sometimes even moving the hand too! Let’s just use the left, better results and less effort!”. It’s like when your were at school and in the group of friend you hung around with there was who was the know it all, standing there with that smug look while watching you struggle. That is how it feels to me. I don’t give in though and there is improvement, very very slight but it all add up.

Caught up with my friend Yildiz who I was working for when I had the aneurysm. She brought over flowers and chocs…..

Bless her she is such a busy lady. She was here for about 3hrs and on the phone sorting out work issues for 2 of them. She does make me laugh though she is such a scatter brain at time. 😘 Yildiz.

Hobbit & Veg came up Friday night as Deb was taking them to the airport Saturday first thing as they were of to Italy for a week……. Ballisimo……(probably not how to spell it).

Easter Sunday we went on a castle adventure. All the way to Castle Rising Castle in Kings Lynn (no I haven’t spelt it wrong by adding the extra cast in. That how it comes up on google maps).

It’s lovely there I hobbled around and Deb would go off and explore and then come and find me. It’s all for a new venture Deb has………all will be revealed in the near future. With Deb as my walking stick and the big stone walls I managed to walk up these stairs but that was as far as I got……

I couldn’t look anywhere else as it was all spiral staircases plus I was shattered when I got up these steps……I needed to rest as I had to to back down them again!!

I few shots I took…..
