I took a nap for a couple of hours because I woke up at 5 a.m. this morning. At around 3 p.m. I got myself up in the wheelchair and emptied my potty chair on my own, which I haven't done in about 6 weeks. Don't worry, Andrew has been emptying it. Yick!
After that I wheeled myself into the haulway and put the leg lifts on the wheelchair and proceeded to wheel myself out onto the front deck. I sat in the sun for 45 minutes. I was amazed that I had no adverse reactions to the sun or light. Before I could barely get myself out there and the sun and light bothered the daylights out of me where I counted the minutes until 20 were reached. Today I let my neck get hot and it felt so darn good. Before, I'd freak out if anything got hot.
My legs are kind of mangled from yesterday's fall so I'm going to have to take it easy to let them heal before starting to work. Baby steps as my home health nurse says.
Andrew reported that we have a guinea hen sitting on 10 to 15 eggs in the tall grass in the front yard. So that gives me even more incentive to keep a watch out for them because we want them around. They are great bug eaters and smarter than chickens from what we've witnessed. The nest is 30 feet or so from the front deck. I'm going to try to get Andrew to get a picture.
