collective resistance
Jan. 7th, 2025 05:14 pmThe last few days here on PlanetChip have been a little busier than the previous 10 months. It almost feels as if it were my life pre-wheelchair. We met up with J-Nic and her boyfriend and Da Younga Sista at a little Italian restaurant for International Chip Appreciation Day. We went to Hamrick‘s to buy Chritmit clearance sale stuff. We had lunch at Noodles yesterday. We went to El Recordo Sto Sunday afternoon to meet up with Eddie the Painting Guy and Reggie Value who was just in from Florida. We made a couple of trips to the post office and our usudusual Friday trek to the groceria. Not to mention we made three trips to the downstairs gym to start our new workout regiment. I can work on my arms/chest here and at the hospital's gym (my first trip was yesterday) it’s mainly a leg workout.
Yesterday I got my first haircut in three years. Prior to that it had been four years since my last haircut. Whether my hair is short or long I am beautiful. All of the green streaks that J-Nic had put in my hair is now gone. Once her schedule slows down I will get my hair dyed again. I’m considering purple highlights this time.
As noted, I did my first workout at the hospital yesterday. I’m cleared to work on three leg machines, the Bowflex and some device called a Rickshaw. I’m making it a point to not push myself too hard yet here I am with sore knees today. I don’t know when I’m going back especially considering possible wintry weather coming our way. As i have mentioned in past posts I take about 13 different drugs and the various side effects, when they're at they're worst, are unbearable. One of the weirdo ones is my propensity to sit at the edge of the bed while sleeping. I have been doing that for about three weeks. It officially became stupid behavior by falling off the bed last night. I made a nice nosedive into the heater wall unit. On the upper left forehead is where the heater gave me a solid whomp. The other half of my body landed on my knees. Erica came in and it was a little awkward getting back on the bed. 3rd yime as charm. Erica was being herself and freaking out left, right and center. It’s kind of laughable that I get hurt... but calm her down. It was my third tumble off the bed (my second in two months). I’ve learned from crippled community this is a pretty common occurrence. It’s nothing to get your undies in a wad over. If only Erica could believe me when I tell her that.
