Wii

Well my golf has not improved but I may have found a new career as a boxer! My wii skills are being tested to the limit with this game as I hate the thought of punching anyone -even in a game- but last night I was pursuaded to give it a go and I won!! twice!!!! I have some stuff on my mind and I focused all my anger on the poor wiime on the screen and gave it to him! Son was V impressed and I think a match is on the cards soon. At least with the wii in the house I can claw back some time on the PC - its been like trying to move a mountain getting him off the PC during the summer hols. We do get on quite well though and playing games together on the wii has given us some much needed 'family' time...
He is excited that his brother is dropping in on the way to his camping break - they only saw each other last w/e but the new wii will be something for them to challenge each other with and have a 'real' game! boys and their toys! his dad is as bad, we have worked out that you can bowl from a seated position, which at the moment is a good thing. I keep thinking that maybe next week he will be able to go for a walk with me but we both know deep down that is not going to happen. I should give up on these foolish thoughts but I don't want to, as long as I have hope then I have something.I am getting more used to the motorbility scooter though, I never thought I would, but it is happening. I am feeling frustrated too, there are cities I want to visit and DH cannot get around them too well, how do disabled people get around and sightsee in New York? I have tried to remember but I cannot recall seeing any disabled people anytime we have been there.......

He hates shopping but feeling the atmosphere is something else - and its really not something I want to do alone. Everytime I think (or am asked) what I would like to do for my 50th birthday next year it comes down to what can my DH manage, I want him with me of course, but I want him to enjoy it too. Answers on a postcard please.................
