Broke my ankle recently and had to have surgery to fix it. I’‘m laid up at my parents’ place until after Christmas at least. It’s been rough because I have to rely heavily on my family.
Anyway, my bladder goes crazy at night and I was having trouble opening doors on my own because I hop around with the aid of a walker. Well last night my mom wouldn’t answer her phone to open doors for me. I had to piss so fucking bad that I risked my safety to open the necessary doors. It was actually really easy and everyone’s lives got so much easier because of it. I’m making a lil bag to hang on my walker so I can get my own snacks from the kitchen. I’ve also learned to use my cane to grab shit that’s out of reach. Being a burden on others is a really good motivator to figure out how to do shit that seems impossible physically.
