BACK I SAY, BACK IN YOUR WHEELCHAIR YOU CRIPPLE!!!
Oh I do love this theme park.
I was put through another giant donut today.
Had a C.T. scan performed on my hip / pelvis for next Friday.
As it turns out, someone had failed to communicate to me yesterday that my weight bearing status on my right leg / hip is now changed to non weight bearing untill further notice ( read next week's specialist review ).
Effectively, this means I can use crutches to hop around, but this puts a lot more pressure on my arms, shoulders and left leg.
This in turn causes more pain.
So I'm back in the wheelchair for now.
About as happy as a bastard on father's day.
On a brighter note, I cooked my first meal today in occupational therapy.
Normally you get an hour to do this, but for some strange reason I only had a half hour.
I managed to confuse the two occupational therapists as I was just getting some engredients that normal people wouldn't put together.
Apparently
I made a lovely mushroom, red capsicum, bacon, onion, garlic & baked bean sauce.
Added to this was a bit of olive oil, milk and spiced with hungarian paprika, terragon and oregano.
The pasta had an egg beaten through it when ready and all topped with a bit of parmesan cheese.
Pretty good effort for half an hour ( with a crap knife and a hand that doesn't want to wrap around it properly ) and four and a half months between cooking meals I reckon.
And three people, including a chef tasted it and gave it the thumbs up.
Pretty chuffed about that one.
I also spotted a tawny frog mouth owl in one of the trees who was gettin hassled by a crow today.
Pretty rare sight in general and especially in Richmond!
