About 6 months ago I suffered a huge decline in mobility. Overnight the toxic load was greater than I could eliminate. Unable to put any weight on legs I was scared yet knew I would be ok in time. At least I prayed for it to be true.
The big change started with being able to transfer. Homecare discharged me because my needs became a “skill”. I’m grateful for the “shower girl” and others who tried to help.
Well I get to enjoy showers on own…a huge win. I learned the gift of relying on God. As if I needed another lesson. ;)
Last Weds. I faced my fear and not only got up but out into car for bloodwork. My friend was so excited too we rode around for errands and lunch. I even transferred to couch for first time. It wasn’t as much about getting there as it was about getting up safely. I hope to not call fire dept. again.
Today I’m relieved and cautious when moving around. Grateful for every day and being able to spread joy. Take nothing for granted as many already know.
Love,
Jen
