Slipping and sliding

[secrets22]

My mornings of endeavouring to get out of my bed.

I kind of throw my legs out while lying flat on my back ,and then i slide down onto the floor,and then with difficulty i reach out with my right hand to grab anything within reach ,be it a table or chair,to help pull myself off the floor and needless to say my two wee little personages with fur on look on in alarm,no doubt wondering what my next move will be.Once i am upright i then carefully take my PJ's off which is rather an art in itself when trying to avoid doing more damage to my shoulder and arm,and then warily make my way to the shower where i sit on a seat which my David used to use, and trying to get the water at a temperature without me yelping is a bit of an art too,and that seat has been a Godsend during my learning to be a contortionist.

Its then another nightmare in getting dressed,and as for putting my socks on forget it,for that is worth an MBE.

However i am now considering joining the Cirque du Soleil to join their acrobat group,although maybe the Clown group would be more in keeping.

This has taught me how difficult life must be for folks who are permanently disabled,and i salute them for their diligence,and never to give up.

I am trying to smile after a distressing week,hence this post,which i hope will make you smile too.x

You’re doing well all things considered and it’s good to see your sense of humour is still going strong. Keep smiling and hope you get to perform at the Cirque du Soleil one day. Take care xxx👍😀🤗

It’s so true that experiencing difficulties for ourselves gives us a deeper understanding of some of the struggles that others have throughout life secrets22. I empathise as a fellow shoulder pain sufferer. On my last visit to a doc for a steroid injection she cheerfully told me that, as in most cases, I should be ‘getting back to normal at the three year point’. As I’m now at the one year point I really thanked her for that nugget of joy! So how’s about we both run away and join the Cirque du Soleil as a couple of clowns? It does make everyday tasks so difficult at times and some of the adaptive moves we find ourselves making to get by are truly comic! Seriously though, take care of that shoulder and be careful!
