yesterday evening I was invited to a group meal in the nearby town, usually i say no because it is a big hassle for me to get ready to go let alone get there as my electric scooter is not suitable to take into restraunts, but yesterday was really sunny, so i decided to go, and to try and get there under my own steam rather than relying on a cab which makes it an expensive night out. I started getting ready three hours before I was due at the restraunt. ashamed to say but I only wet wiped myself and changed my clothing before setting off. I took my time and managed to wheel myself almost to the bus stop at the end of my road before some very nice young lad asked if i needed help. my arms were burning so i accepted his help. long story short I managed to get to the restraunt without help of a carer or cab! first time in five years I have gone out in the evening 'on my own' to meet friends. it was a great sense of achievement.
today I am still in bed at lunchtime!
