Thanks, y'all. Out of wheel chair, finally!

Today June 21st was my first day out of the wheel chair since June 9th.  I'm not all better by a long shot.  I still can't walk, but I can stand up now. 


My foot with the Chronic Kidney disease neuropathy damage caused by that overprescription of Seroquel for PTSD nightmares hurts when I stand on it but if can bear weight.  I was able to stand up and take a shower for the first time in 10 days.  For that alone I'm really grateful.


Imagine what that was like here where I've retired in Mexico's heat where daily showers are the norm.  I'm really glad this foot's healing, finally.  Last year I was down in the wheel chair twice from CKD neuropathy damage. 


This is likely to happen again and recovery is likely to delay longer each time.  I appreciate your support with that reality.  Please give me a couple of days to get caught up on replying to journals and private messages.  Thanks.

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
