Lots of good things... about time..

I finally got the wheels upgraded to my wheelchair and have tried them out it is much easier to push myself now although i need to build my muscles up in my arms so they dont hurt as much when i am wheeling myself. They also sorted out my footplates; when we first got them they were very low and had been grating loudly every time my fiance had been pushing me up a curb i had tried to raise the footplates myself but they had been uneven since then and the Wheelchair Services also sorted that out for me at the same time which was nice of them!

My Electric bed came last thursday too its really comfortable and raises up and down and also at the knees and headend, it seems to be helping quite a bit at night with the pain in my legs and also making it easier for me to get comfortable... the cat also seems to like sleeping on it too!!

Spoken to my Occupational Therapist today shes going to see if she can get me a table that goes over the electric bed as i spend alot of time sitting or laying on the bed when my carers arent here either on my laptop, watching tv or sleeping... i dont tend to go about the house much when i am alone due to risk of falling and no one being here and the possibility of being on the floor for hours (its happened quite a few times before!)

I also had a call today from the day centre and i start next tuesday on the 10th, so thats also good news, lots of good things seem to be happening at the moment.. yay!! about time :) looking forward to going out and spending time with lots of people. Also called and arranged the dropping off and picking up at the day centre with my agency so thats all sorted too.
