The weekend before last, I went out with my brother and his wife to look at houses… I never thought this day would come; the feeling is unbelievable!! It's so good to be up and out and about, and even though I checked my blood pressure every half hour, I didn't have to do anything to regulate it! Out of the seven houses we looked at, I loved two of them, four of them I liked, and one was a big disappointment! I guess that's why you go out and look at them? I couldn't get into most of them because they were not accessible. Janet rented a ramp, but it's been so long since I've been in my chair that I didn't feel my driving was steady enough to go in some places. Stanley went and did walk-through videos for me; he's always so thoughtful! When I got home and went back to bed, I just couldn't stop thinking about how lucky I was to get up and get around again. Last Sunday, I got my first soaking bath and was so excited I thought about it all night. I didn't think I was in there for long, but Cruz said I was there for half an hour, so I thought I'd better get out. It's so great to know that now I cannot only get up whenever I want, but I can take a nice long hot bath, as long as I keep it down to 10 or 15 minutes to start with. On Tuesday, the doctor said I went to my first primary care doctor appointment in two years. Now, I can start going regularly and catch up on all my appointments and doctors. I have big plans. There are a couple of workout places around here for differently able people, and they both have roll-in swimming pools, and one has a gym to work out. My brother attends one daily, so I'm looking forward to that.
