| Scooting around! |
What a change of lifestyle - again. I am almost independent once more.
When I came back to Sunrise I wondered how I would manage to get around the flat with my booted broken ankle and the weakness after three weeks in bed.
It has been a struggle. Using my hospital walking aid I at first shuffled along a foot or so at a time. Slow and painful going.
Then, yesterday, I realised I had my own transport - my scooter sitting in the corner. Problem solved.
Carers reorganised some of the furniture to make space.
Now, sitting comfortably, I can move effortlessly around the flat.
I can drive into the bedroom and bathroom - I can now shave myself, sitting down, and this morning I managed my first shower.
Now, able to reach everything I need without calling for help I feel much freer - and happier.
I am sleeping well, enjoying the meals brought to my room and, even better. being able to chat, even if briefly, with the carers.
I think I shall have to stay in my room for another week or so but that is no hardship.
I made the right choice with my Turret suite and am getting back to a more normal life. I am so fortunate.
