STUCK ON FLOOR, IN CHAIR, TWICE!

After a great weekend with Chrissie and Andy..they helped with so many jobs and took me out shopping... They left...and I went into the garden to enjoy the sunshine


FIRST TIME STUCK :
I found, for the first time I couldn't get out of the patio chair.Fortunately Steve was in his garden and helped me up. Thankyou.

SECOND TIME STUCK:
My fridge freezer has stopped working, having signed up to a service which answers problems, it was suggested I turn off for 6 hrs. SO I decided to turn on fridge after 8 hrs... Then I simply couldn't get off floor. I tried using w.chair as support, I trid using rise and recline chair to lift me. . After nearly 30 mins of trying I thought I had two choices.... Press button and get help via fall detector people or ring neighbours Rebecca and Tom. I decided on the latter , as if they did answer , then they were closer and quicker... Thank goodness they answered and Tom helped me off floor...Rebecca stayed a while till I was calm. Thankyou.

so I realise there is progress... A week ago I would have been able to have got up from floor with the help of higher chair to crawl to. BUT This is no longer a possibility... RATS! This is such a rotten disease ......

I COULD, BUT I WON'T....

I could moan about being exhausted.. but I won't.....!!!!!!

As anyone who has ever moved house, or prepared to move as in my case, you know it's stressful
Add to this buying an adapted car, but unable to procede as license not returned yet... plans for bathroom not sorted,, planning permission now needed for ramp... not being able to get out of house... and having MND...
You might understand why I am tired and sometimes low.

BUT on the bright side, many friends have rallied  round and helped by getting a whole room full of stuff that will go into store to de-clutter the house. ... and today was very special as Janet and Theresa came, sorted and brought a picnic. We had thought we may go out but I simply had no energy to get up steps. So we enjoyed it in style in my garden. When they left I had a 3hr nap on my bed!!!
