Frustration… it gets the best of me at times. I try to do things and get tangled in the oxygen line or forget the transfer board and have to go back and get it. These are little things but they sure do add up to frustration level, and then you blow!
I have such amazing caregivers who do not deserve to even see my frustration never mind the anger that comes with it. But nevertheless it happens. Everything takes so long when you are only using transfer boards. You would think it’s the ultimate motivation to stand.
With the weekend coming, I don’t have any therapies so it’s up to me to keep exercises going to get stronger. I am by myself a lot which means I only torture myself with frustration. Flexibility and strength in my legs is getting better which are key ingredients to standing up.
I also finished my Medicaid application, which was a big feat and a cause of major frustration.
So, I continue to exercise in order to stand up with PT/OT this week. I will ignore the frustration, and always hope for the best!
