So, my Mom brought my power chair back to my house and she took Leia out before transferring me from my manual chair to my power chair. Leia tried to get in on the hug that my Mom and I were sharing to transfer me and my Mom got a little irritated and I reminded her that she loves us and wants to get on and that hug even though it’s just a transfer!
As soon as I got in my power chair and was adjusted to be sitting in it fully. I Smiled to myself. It was small and my mom asked how it was and I slowly nodded once and said with my eyes closing, “I can feel it!” And as I sat there further, tears started streaming down my face. That seems to be happening to me a lot now! I don’t fight them anymore and they just fall. It’s good that I don’t wear make up because otherwise, I would have streaks on my face.
My Mom left to do some errands before she takes the van back to Creative Mobility. I am sitting here in my power chair and a leg rest that we’re adjusted feel really good and I can’t believe that I dealt with them NOT feeling good for so long!
So, I’m sitting here listening to music and overwhelmed and silent tears are constantly streaming down my face! Not that I’m bragging or anything but there is a huge difference between a power chair cushion and a manual chair cushion. If we are talking price, it’s a difference of $40,000. My body can feel that difference now as I am so more comfortable And I feel overwhelmed and the tears just silently stream down my face.
