Good Wednesday

Thursday, June 18, 2008 – 2:40 P.M.   Thanks to yesterday’s journey into downtown Denver, I have a sunburn today.  I was asked if I learned something about going somewhere without using sunscreen or wearing a cap. I shook my head, and replied, “I doubt it.”   This morning I had some adjustments made to my wheelchair seat so that I will not slump to my right side so much since this was causing some of my pain. It will be a few days before I know whether that worked.   Tomorrow morning I am going to my physical therapy clinic. I am supposed to get more traction for my back. I had a good night’s sleep yesterday, which was probably because I had much less pain than normal. I am cautiously optimistic that this kind of therapy will help a lot.   I am feeling better both physically and emotionally now. Not only have I been getting out of my apartment more often, but I have also been trying to go places on my own, which is helping me to regain some self-confidence. I am determined to overcome the agoraphobia, which I am sure has been making part of my life worse than it needs to be.   Quotes for Success:   “When a man is willing and eager, the gods join in.”    Aeschylus
