Yesterday afternoon the life skills came to see me to tell me if I wanted to cook my Vindaloo this afternoon it will have to be after 17:30. I said that will be O.K. After I had completed my exercises I read my book. At 17:35 she came for me to go to the therapy kitchen. Where I cooked my Vindaloo. I made 4 portions, I ate one and put three in the freezer. After my tea it was nearly 20:00 so I watched television in my room.

This morning I didn't wake up until 08:45 got showered, got dressed and went to the dining room to have my bran flakes. It was snowing heavily this morning. After breakfast I went to the computer room where I read my email, found where Argos is in Leeds and what number to call because my HC1 want renewing.

This morning I woke up at 07:46 and I called a carer at 08:17 to put my heater on and to tell the nurse that I was ready for my bladder wash. The new bladder wash is much quicker and I was ready to get up 08:27. After my shower I went to the dining room and told the carer that I wanted some bran flakes.
I went to the computer room and looked on the internet for disabled toilets in Leeds city centre and to find where Argos is in Leeds.

This morning to change my diet I was going to for bran flakes but the carer had already got me weetabix. I told her that in future I want bran flakes. My aim is reduce my weight to 80 kgs. After breakfast I decided to go to my bedroom to do my exercises because this afternoon I'm cooking Vindaloo. When I got in my bedroom a carer told me that the life skills liaison had gone home because he was feeling ill. I could cook my Vindaloo tomorrow. I told my carer if anybody was going to Cortonwood retail park could they get me some ankle weight from Argos

Last night my nurse came to see me she wanted to inform me that my blood sugar levels are increasing and my weight is increasing as well. She told me if I don't change my diet I will probably be dependant on insulin. She said that when she is working days she have another talk with me.
This morning I woke up at 04:00 when my carers came to empty my night bagso I decided to watch a film but I feel asleep again. I woke up at 08:15 when my alarm went off and I asked the carer to switch on my heating and to tell the nurse that I was ready for my bladder wash. When I went to the dining room a skills person told me I couldn't go shopping because there wasn't any carers available this morning. She said she'll go and pay for the ingrediants for my Chicken Vindaloo.
When logged my computer on to the web and checked my email I realised that I forgot to tell I had ordered some leg weights from Argos. I asked a carer to check whether she had left and she had.

This morning I awoke at 04:30 and decided to watch a horror film. Before I got up I stupidly decided to have a wine gum. I cleaned my teeth, shaved and showered. I got dressed went to the dining and asked my nurse to take my blood sugar levels. It was 9.8 which was higher than normal. After my breakfast I went into the computer room and ordered some ankle weights from Argos. I looked up the recipe for Chicken Vindaloo which I'm going to buy the ingrediants tomorrow and cook it on Wednesday.

Last night the nurse came to change my catheter at 22:00 but I told her it was too late. This morning after my shower a nurse came to change my catheter and told me to drink plenty of water. One of the skills group told me I could cook fish, chips and mushy peas for tea. She told me they were having a quiz first and I said I'll be attending.

At yesterdays lunch we had Sirloin steak, chips, peas and onion rings as a treat. Afterwards I did my exercises and read my book. At tea we had pork pie and mushy peas. I continued reading my book until 19:00 then I watched television until 00:10 this morning when I went to bed. This morning I had my bladder wash and I asked the nurse if my catheter is due for changing. She told me it is but because she isn't trained she'll arrange it for somebody on nights to do it.
