I'M GETTIN' THERE!

In P.T. just now, I practiced INITIATING--AND COMPLETING--my rolling--from my back.  After rolling, I would then maintain my balance--lying on my side--each time for ~ 30 seconds.

I'VE ALREADY BEEN IN 1 CAR ACCIDENT!

The staff here always laughs, because EVERY TIME I "pull up" to an intersection--4-way (HERE), I STOP, LOOK LEFT, RIGHT, THEN LEFT AGAIN, THEN "DRIVE.  (I CONSIDER MY MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIR A "VEHICLE".) So, I'm just abiding by the "RULES OF THE ROAD".  (Was THAT from 'Rocko's Modern Life'?)

PARDON MY TRUANCY!

I STILL MADE IT IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAY! So, I HELP with my scrubbing while I'm in my shower.  (THAT was a TAD personal, but it's a "step in the right direction.) MORE AT A LATER DATE ...

THIS IS KINDA "PRIVATE"!

(LITERALLY)
(I have been doing THIS a lot recently, [but] just tonight I actually did the deed IN MY CHAIR!) I SUCCESSFULLY used--WHILE HOLDING--my urinal.

"Catch-22"

(In other words...) "(Do) you know what really BURNS my cookies?!" (I apologize to the NON-chef readers.) "(Do) you know what REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS?!"--'Family Guy'

Well, it upsets me that STAFF don't seem to understand that steering my NEW wheelchair takes time! Although, I DO LIKE my new chair. (I "named" it, "MISS INDEPENDENT"--like the song.)

MOTIVATION

I ACTUALLY look forward to "working"/rehabbing in "therapy", because A LOT of the other PATIENTS cause 'MUCHOS PROBLEMOS'! This staff doesn't even close my door, so I have to try to sleep to screaming!
UNLIKE MANY others, I have the wherewithal to understand that I am injured, and I NEED TO get better!

COUNTING BLESSINGS

"Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any one of us."--Minnesota Twins Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett

NO, I'M NOT DEAD!

I've JUST been experiencing some technical difficulties lately. (Hence, the delay.)
I GET my new MANUAL wheelchair on Friday (6 days). (I asked for staff to still accompany me--IN CASE I have any problems.

MORE LATER...

venting

I don't want to sound acrimonious or anti-social, because THAT just wouldn't be "I" (NOT "me") (It's a predicate nominative.) (Actually, after pausing, it's "me") (Isn't it?!?).
But, I don't like this one particular patient who--about two weeks ago--walked up to MY bed, in MY room--at night--and ANGRILY asked me, "Why the hell are you in my bed?!" I didn't LOWER myself to his mental level by answering him. (POSSIBLE interpretation: anti-social) Staff quickly removed him.
I don't wanna dwell on this, 'cuz it just brings up bad memories. So, I'll describe my progress in greater detail next time.

UNFORTUNATELY, ...

...NO "BOOZEDAY TUESDAY"! (I don't wanna get my license revoked.)
But, FORTUNATELY, I'm SUPPOSED to receive my MANUAL, ELECTRONIC wheelchair next Tuesday. (I've already named it "MISS INDEPENDENT!")
