I house sat for my Osteopath on Wednesday and felt so much better that I forgot all about her treating my neck & back, so it still hasn't been done.
I had someone come to set up my wireless network on Thursday which ended up with my main PC not being on-line at all due to a faulty network card. I just thought Internet Explorer was playing up, I didn't realise we had a problem with the hardware fitted to the PC.
So I spent Thursday night & Friday morning trying to set up all I could on my laptop so that I can move everything off my main PC before it's sent away to be fixed. Loads of stuff still needs to be moved....
I've also had my next session of MT and all that it entails.
I need to sit down and decide what I would really like my life to be like. I have got into the habit of being ill and doing not a lot all day, so I now need to live a little or even live a lot. I also need to get others out of the habit of helping me, or telling me to stop doing things when I give them a try.
My first surprise came on Saturday when hubby gave me the car keys and asked me to drive home from our friend’s house and get something he needed. Now this sounds like no big task or anything special, but when our friends live in a small village, down small country roads, about 5 or 6 miles from our house. I haven't driven more than 10 yards for nearly 4 years and we own a Land Rover Discovery (not a small car), I was a bit surprised he said it and thought he was joking or testing me, but I took the keys and drove home.
I took my friend with me and she drove back for me, I really do prefer a smaller car, hubby can keep the big one.
It did prove to me I am ready to drive again and I can do it if I want to, or need to.
All this and there is more!!!!
After leaving our friends we went shopping & I managed to not only walk around the superstore but to push the trolley and pack most of the shopping as well. Son & hubby lifted the bags into the trolley and helped a bit, but I did most of the packing on my own and I kept up with the checkout girl.
I haven't walked round the supermarket in over a year; it seemed so strange not to be in a wheelchair.
I now know I want to be able to go shopping on my own again...
Now to see what else I really want!!!!
