Well today I went for a walk to get the mail today with my caregiver. Well I didn’t walk myself but someday I told her I would be going for a walk one day with her. That day will eventually happen but for now I have my powerchair. I know I can’t wait for the day and hope the day will come that I can stand on my own and go for walks independently. All I can do is hope. I always pictured myself coming home and walking in my home, walking in the driveway to continue rehab and more. Maybe one day but for now it’s just nice being home and getting out to get some fresh air. A little bit of life again.
It was nice getting out to go get the mail. We got the mail up the road and went for a longer walk past my house. We would have went longer but for some reason the battery on the power chair dropped quickly to one bar and had to turn around. We stopped for a moment and powered the chair down to see if bars would go back up. While we were off the road a ways on a dirt road we seen some butterflies and my caregiver took a few pictures while we waited. She got a few cool pictures.
After a little while the bars did go back up on the powerchair which is weird. We started the way back home and made it. 🙂 It’s nice getting out of the house. I just wish I could do all the things I did before. I love summer, gardening etc… I just can’t do any of this as a result of Guillain Barre Syndrome. Hoping that one day I’ll beat this and get my life back.
I’m thankful to be back home, thankful for a very nice caregiver and glad to get outside. Hoping someday I’ll have my independence back and be able to do things again. All I can do is hope and keep moving forward.
