Bin day

Well we are making progress. Honey is walking more normally already and I can see her toes flexing inside the dressing so she is doing really well. She is not in pain at all and does well as long as she remembers to lift that leg over sills and when she gets it caught up in her duvet. I took the opportunity this morning to have a wallow in the bath rather than a quick shower/wash as Jen was home. Honey lay at the bottom of the stairs wimpering and whining the whole time! She doesn't do this when I go out, she just goes to sleep somewhere warm and comfy - that was MY bed before her leg break and, now she is barred from going upstairs, she has a duvet in the utility room by the boiler which is warm and cosy for her. But if I am at home she HAS to be where she can see me. *sigh* it's nice to be loved but it is a pain at times LOL
She had her giant anti-biotic pill wrapped in cooked chicken this morning and just swallowed it down in one gulp :-) Spoilt? you bet but it's much less hassle than trying to prise open her jaws and drop the pills down her throat. I gave her a few small bits first to get the taste of the chicken then gave her the pill stuffed lump. It all went down without a bite or hesitation.
I have my rabbit stew to finish off today :) just assorted veg and a bit of meat so low fat and fairly low calorie. But very tasty. 'Underground chicken' as my Dad called it.
Hmm making me hungry thinking about it.

I woke up this morning and remembered 2 more people I have to get presents for :-( so I still have shopping to do! I can't risk mail order now as we are meeting up next Tuesday for lunch and present swap.
I am about to unplug my pc and all it's bits so I can move it into its 'proper' home in the desk. It means grovelling under the desk so I only want to do it all once while I'm down there, and I'm praying I can get back up again. I did something similar in the dining room extracting the old PC and when I got hold of the chair to help me get up again the effing thing moved on its castors and I could not get a firm grip to get leverage to stand up again :-( I had to wedge the chair to stop it moving then I could get up. I did even think of crawling on hands and knees across the dining room to get to a solid chair that would not move. But I managed ok in the ned. My knees have no spring or bounce left in them and certain movements are both painful and awkward. Funnily enough I have no trouble getting in and out of the bath and have perfected a technique to do this safely.
Right - lunch! Rabbit stew here I come. See you later xx
