I thought I would share some good news as mostly what I share is bad.
I was at home one evening & it was raining my Hubby said I should spend the night.
I did not as you need a doc's order to be able to.
but for several reasons I can do it now.
Most importantly I can transfer myself without the use of a lift.
I am in a program that funds my care & I talked to them & they will release part of my funds so I can get the care I need on the weekends. So I am going to hire someone for the weekends.
Once I do my doc said he will let me go home for weekends.
I think that will be great.
I have not spent a night at home in over a yr. So I miss it terribly
This is something good to work towards.
I am also able to think a bit more clearly & my hands are working a bit better. Stronger then they were. I can now crochet & I am making a lap blanket to use in my wheelchair. I have also found a lost hobby one I truly love. Counted cross stitch. I did a small one a couple of weeks ago. I ordered a bigger one it should have 40-60 colors and it 18"x9" & 14 count (14 stitches / inch) so it will take months to do. I now have the concentration to do it & the hand eye coordination to do it.
So that is my good news

Hope it all works out sooner too. Also great to read that you are able to do some of your hobbies again too. Enjoy doing the handwork. Remember to pace yourself with it so you dont strain eyes or hands. Much more enjoyable to do a small bit at a time & be able to do more later.
Keep up with the positive things & I hope it all works out for you quickly.
Thanks for sharing.
Same as Sue dont over do it ok

I hope you will post a photo of your cross stitch so we can see your handy work. I know it will be beautiful and give you lots of pleasure and a sense of accomplishment.
Gentle hugs and joined at the heart, Linda
I love waking up to good news!!!
Congrats, being able to come home is such an improvement. Didn't mentioned your doggy, do you still have it?
Enjoy and take it easy.
