I left the house Friday for the first time in weeks. I was forced to go to the bank as well as do some grocery shopping (if you call "sitting stationary in a wheel chair while my son ran around in Walmart with the buggy" shopping...)
We even stuck our heads into a real live restaurant - something I haven't done in close to a year. Not knowing how well the wheelchair would fit under the table, I made what turned out to be a horriable decision by choosing to walk in and use my cane. I should have known better since I hadn't put on my knee braces before leafing the house (having expected to spend the day in my wheel chair...).
The result of the trip was my back and knees hurting so bad on Saturday that I could hardly get any rest or even walk sturdy enough to make it to the bathroom and back.
I realized just how bad it was when, attempting to stand up from the toilet, my knee buckled and I almost crashed head first through the glass shower doors.
I guess it is things like that that the doctors and disability folks might find interesting....
