My phone and iPad, remotes for the bed, tv, and light fall on the floor during the night,, from my bed, because I always have Deb or Jackie will be here by 7:30 am, 8:15 am, 9:00 am or 9:30-9:45 am in the morning. We don’t have a set schedule on days I don’t have dialysis or other medical or getting my nails and hair done. Why worry about things falling from my bedside table and walker or bed? My caregivers will pick things up when they get here. Now, when my stuff on the bedside table fall off to the floor, I’m asked how things got knocked off the floor, LOL. When things other than my phone and iPad get knocked off the table It is because of Magic, my black house panther who now is seen with green eyes more so than brown now or by my own hand, LOL. I never get in and out of bed without one of my caregivers here to be safe from falling or making a step that will turn into a fall. Two years ago my caregivers had to single-handedly put a Hoyer sling underneath me to get me out and in my. lift chair or power chair for the day when I was relearning to walk again.

Walking

I don’t believe that I will be walking marathons again in the nearest future, but I will be walking a good distance without wondering how far I just went after a physical therapy session when walking across the room. When I watch videos or hear stories about people saying they had to relearn how to walk after an injury, illness, or medical procedure, I was once shocked at the idea that someone could or would experience in their lifetime. Well, please excuse me for thinking in such a way that is of unbelief, okay? I don’t mean to be mean about it because it hasn’t happened to me personally until… … … I had to relearn how to walk again myself. 🥹😖😫😤😳😡 After getting a hematoma near my right hip that stopped my legs from working properly in 2023, It was something I did NOT ever expect UNTIL it happened to me personally. I lost my ability to walk because of an injury caused by CNA’s and NA’s in a nursing home. I will admit that it is true that after an injury, illness, or medical procedure, you have to relearn how to walk when you have lost them for the reasons mentioned are so true. I learned something about relearning or reviewing what I have learned as a student in grade school, middle and high school, and my college days from 1990 to 2010 days. I have taken Pre-algebra and Algebra, sociology, and psychology classes more than once in the years of age 20 to 40 at U-Rock and Blackhawk Technical College to keep my brain active with the world that changes every year because of politics and politicians making new things into the law. Yes, at one time, until it happened to me, some things were not thought of until it happened to me attitude came into realization and believe me when I hear ‘I told you so’ is said out loud in my own life, I didn‘t believe some things wouldn’t happen to me. To be very honest, until 1999, I did not understand my own destiny could be made by my decisions I’ve made. God has a plan for me and I create my destiny by the choices I make in my life and the choices I make can affect the timeline of my life in a negative or positive way. It’s either God’s Way or my way, and if I make a decision that God may NOT be very happy with, he can change the outcome of that decision and change my timeline a bit until I allow God to guide me again. With that said… … I can go on in my life allowing God’s guidance from this day forward again.
