TIME TO ADMIT IT

I realize now that I need to open my eyes and look at things clearly. The weakness is increasing as is the strength. My legs like to cross at the ankles and are becoming ever more difficult to switch. To do this, I have to get close to a heavy piece of furniture and brace the crossed foot next to it. I then have to slowly more the wheelchair to spread the legs/feet. This isn't painful, I just can't leave my legs crossed, for if I do, then later on in the day, the hips will hurt. Gettings into the shower is a balancing act to say the least. If it wasn't for hubby, I'd never get to take one. I feel like I'm not ready for any of this.

    Oh Jenna, it sounds very frustrating to deal with.
    I'm not really sure what to say, but I do understand the physical limitations, the needing help doing things, and it gets very tiring dealing with it all, all of the time.
