My Weekend

Hi , all! Well I stayed here for the weekend and it has been quite alright!Saturday my good friend Debbie came and got me and we went to the Halifax Shopping Center to see the Hair for Hero's which is people getting their head shaved for cancer. Her son Adam was getting his head shaved and they brought a police horse there, Sarge, a beautiful boy, 16.3 hands high and they shaved his mane! not sure I liked that! and we were going to do some shopping! Yeah! Oh and I have to mention I got New York Fries!!! First fries in many months! so good. Well the shopping went ok...Debbie was so good! but I have to tell you shopping in a chair was challenging! but with Debbie's help and her strong arm I got a few things....a pair of capris (just picture me wearing them with the knee high white pressure stockings I have to wear! ouch! but I have to admit I have the capris on now and not the stockings) After shopping we got a delicious smoothy and then back to the Rehab. When I got here there was a woman visiting Jennie who I knew a bit from Truro! She was the interpreter the Dept. always got when dealing with a deaf person! What a small world! Then I hit the bed! I was soooo tired, I'll be happy when I get some of my stamina back!

Today is Sunday and the sun is shinning and the sky soooo blue, I lazed around in bed for an extra 30 min's then up and to the laundry here in the Rehab and did a few things, Ferne my favourite roommate and I went outside to wait for the laundry to be done, then went for a wheel down to the corner and up to almost the end of the street and then back...we were trying to figure out how we could get a couple of electric chairs and then really do Spring Garden Rd. and the Public Gardens whohoo! Some how I don't think they will lend us the chairs...haha The day was sooo nice it made me sad for just a moment to be thinking what a perfect day for riding.....but you know it is natural for me to feel that way and I will again several times,I have had a big change in my life and I doubt I'll ride again but I will still have the joy of being with Fan and just loving her and being with her is very important and good for me.I have to admit I have been very impatient this past week....you know it has been almost 3 months since the accident....I have been so good up til now...but in physio I have been pushing it and get frustrated when my left leg just won't do something....she explained to me that muscles take time...some longer than others but she pointed out that I was able to walk in the walker ...let me see....oh yes the last measured walk was over 70 meters and I had the brace and the walker for the weekend and I'm sure I walked over a 100 meters! won't be long before I kick this chair good bye! In fairness I have to add my walking wouldn't make a fashion runway! haha I am going to try to get some pic's and video of me walking and doing my physio so you can get a better idea of what my life here is like. I will have to figure out how to get them on this blog or you might have to go to facebook.....love to all
