Feeling pretty decent besides the blinding headache I've had the last few days.
Saturday I woke up and felt pretty crummy, spent most of the day in bed and just tried to give my body some rest. After dinner I walked over to the spare bedroom and did my hand exercises with my dad. We attempted to play cribbage since it was on the list of games to play to get my hands working again, but just based on Andrew's eyebrows while reading the instructions I could tell that wasn't happening. So needless to say I will be using cribbage solely as a peg board. We then decided to play some sequence instead.
I have to admit I really do love that Game even tho at first I was hesitant to play.
After a few games I became uncomfortable in my folding chair, and the circulation to my legs decided to stop working so I called it a night.
Sunday I woke up around 10:30 and we had all decided to go to lunch. I really had been craving bww so we decided to go there. I wasn't sure it was the best idea since it was Sunday and people are all about FOOTBALL (eww) but we decided to give it a try anyway. We walked past the outside patio to get into the place, and there was plenty of open seating. The girl at the door tells us it will be 30 mins they are completely full. You probably shouldn't use that as your reasoning when I just saw at least 10 open tables lady!
It was maybe a 10 minute wait and then we were sat. I must say I couldn't help but laugh that under craft beer on their menu is bud light lime and PBR. Neither of which is craft.
The food was good and it was nice to get out of the house for a bit with dad and Andrew.
After we headed over to target, we had thought they would have a family restroom like the one by our house which makes things easier when you are out with two guys. This target however did not have one.
A nice lady offered to push me in since I'm not exactly able to wheel myself in my transfer chair. Once into the stahl I thought "I can do this". I managed to get from my chair to the seat, do everything I needed to do including pull up my pants. Getting back into the chair was a little more tricky as I kept hitting the foot rest with my leg which then would move the chair over again. Finally the chair was up against the wall and I was able to get in between the foot rests and back into the chair. The next challenge came when the damn lock was stuck on the door and I spent and eternity (well it felt like one) trying to get the door to open.
I was pushing it pretty hard and I just kept envisioning that I was push it and it would whip open and knock someone over lol!
Anyhow so once I got the door open I was able to push myself with my feet out of the stahl and pretty close to the bathroom door. They have like a stupid half wall near the door tho that my back tire got stuck on. Just when I was about to text Andy someone opened the door and held it for me and my dad was able to get me unstuck!
Over all I was quite proud of what I was able to accomplish even if not fully on my own. Close enough!
Came home and caught up on some of my shows with my dad.
Made some bagel dip and dad made a new batch of chip dip with bacon!
Started to get a headache about 8pm.
Headed up the other 2 flights of stairs about 10pm. Not sure if it was the exercise of doing the stairs or what but I felt very dizzy once I got to the top and my head was pounding behind my eye.
So I just laid in bed applying pressure to my head in hopes the headache would subside with no such luck. I must have fallen asleep doing so.
Woke up around 8 this morning, been trying to be quiet and let Andrew sleep until his alarm goes off.
Been waiting to hear how my friend Samantha's surgery went but I was told it was delayed so more waiting for news.
Other than that nothing really on the agenda today.
I am hoping at some point to get downstairs and do some exercises in the kitchen, work on my hand writing and possibly (read I'm so lazy but I really should) take a shower but that's pretty much my whole schedule. Wow what an exciting life I lead.
Tomorrow Andy leaves for New York.
I'm quite jealous since it's been ages since I've been but my current walking status isn't really something that would mesh with NYC life to well. I hope he has a great time with Chris and enjoys the comic con :)
Currently only have 2 upcoming appointments which never happens lately ;)
