Briliant That Richie Is Looking After Me.

Yesterday it was quite exciting waiting for Richie to get back from the optician with my new lenses in my old frame.

The new lenses are better, but I will not know if they are really any good until tomorrow, as it seems to take two days to get used to the bifocals..

Sadly it is being a traditional weekend, no blue sky or sunshine like the last two days, which were beautiful days,

I must get Richie to reorganise how I am sitting up in bed, I am collapsed to the left which is very unpleasant after a short time.

Richie has just lain me down and reorganised how I was lying and three minutes later I am leaning badly to the left again.

Adjusting me is something that has to be done constantly throughout the entire day and evening.

Richie is busy enough already without having to do this too, must be so difficult for him to do everything he has to for me everyday.

He looks after me so well and is always looking for ways to make life easier and better for me, which I appreciate.

It is extremely good to know that Richie is looking after things.

A Sunny 2 March Today.

A beautiful day, blue sky and sunshine which is lovely to see, really has given me a boost.

A sunny day makes me feel positive, my life is the same but somehow it feels better because of sunshine.

Richie has gone to buy fruit so that I can drink a delicious fruit shake before he takes the dogs to the park.

I think the dogs will enjoy a run in the park in the sunshine, should make them happy, hope it cheers Cyril up and makes him feel very good.

Trying to use my right index finger is becoming more difficult but well worth the effort, it is very difficult to even stretch my right arm out enough to touch the keyboard.

Painful too, my right index finger has stopped functioning now; the fingertip is too bent to be able to type

There is little to be done if the fingertip can not straighten up and select a letter, I had not realised previously how important the index fingers are.

I used to type with all my fingers, when that became impossible I used both index fingers, these days mainly the left.

My hope now is that my index fingers will work for quite sometime, despite problems, so I can keep typing.

A Sunny Day.

Today is another beautiful bright sunny day which was wonderful when Richie opened the curtains.

What a treat to have two lovely days, this weather has such a good effect on me, it lifts me.

My arms and hands and fingers are not suddenly restored because they are not.

This weather gives me a big boost, which I needed right now after two weeks of grey, misty, dark days.

A boost is welcome as it makes me feel good, feeling good has an effect on my perceptions of my day.

Right now I feel optimistic about today and the two appointments this afternoon, one at 13.30 where I will get a demonstration of other methods of steering my wheelchair.

The other appointment is about the cushion on the shower chair, which needs to be fixed better so that it and me do not slide about and make Richie’s life very difficult during showers.

I am feeling optimistic that the appointments will go well and they will all be gone by 14.30 and everything will be done.

I am getting today’s post written now, so that it can be posted before my shower and I can relax and enjoy the afternoon.
