Now the interior work has been done, the only thing I am waiting for is the new, and hopefully more comfortable, wheelchair. I decided to take myself out, but the only problem was that Alan has to put my footwear on for me and I don’t like going out when he’s in. So, to solve the problem I bought a foot bag, where I just pull it on my legs, also the fleece lining is detachable so I can also use it if we ever get warmer weather. I don’t even have to wear shoes or boots so I’m not dependent on Alan that makes me feel better.
Of course, whenever I am determined to start going out, the weather changes! So blame me for the snow! Also I’ve had an infection for the past couple of weeks which had kept me in. As is par for course the wheelchair stopped working this morning, just when I needed to use the toilet every half an hour.
The infection isn’t an infection, the GP doesn’t know what it is, so Tuesday I am having a blood test. [more needles, what joy] If the doctor cannot cure me I will be referred to the hospital after 6 weeks, which will mean more tests.
I managed to have a fall when Alan was out due to being ill and which meant laying twisted on the bathroom floor for over an hour until Alan arrived and rang for an ambulance and so the paramedics picked me up. This worried me so much that I have arranged for an alarm system to be installed, I will wear a pendant that when pressed will alert them and they will pick me up. I don’t intend falling again but I said that the last 3 times.
