Tag: Almost there! Bought too much stuff

  • I Did it! I Stood Twice on My Own with Little PT help and my Items are Still Not Missed!

    Lots has been happening! My sisters are on their way home, which is sad but they helped me get rid of so many items that I really don’t need.

    I returned a lot of items too, which of course helped my bank account.

    I wish the bruising would go away, no amount of items I buy will help with that.

    The most exciting thing is/was my ability to stand not once, but twice and mostly on my own strength with little help from the PT. I enjoyed not seeing all my items I threw out!

    I believe I will be able to stand on my own very soon and be able to go through my own pile of items.

  • I Made It Home, Missing Some Strength, But It Felt Great To Sleep In My Own Bed!

    Well I made it home! Not the prettiest of returns as I still can’t make it on and off the toilet without help, (need more strength) but I have a work around. It’s just that my toileting is a little backwards and I am missing strength. I know what I have to do, it’s just a matter of doing it. Now I am waiting for the nurse(to do resumption of care) and my caregiver to shower and complete laundry.

    All of this could be prevented if I could just stand up and use more strength. It’s frustrating to know your own body is betraying you. I guess I just need time to get stronger. I know it is happening at least now I understand what is actually happening. I also realize I overbought items (maybe I will return some to get money back.) Today I would also like to start figuring out my bank account that is a big mess.

    I am missing a good keyword(strength) in this blog post- it’s something I’ve learned to use to get more traffic.
