First 5

I’ve finished my bedtime routine (smoked a cone of indica  💨 Blue Spring Cookies, brushed teeth, and peed) and I’m ready to transfer and climb into bed.

I’m able to get into bed independently, but I called Dom to spot me, cause I wanted to try to stand up without using my hand to push up.

“Papi,  can you spot me?”

“I got you babygirl, what’s up?” As he stands behind my wheelchair. I ask him to stand in front of me and not let me face plant. He assumed the proper spotting position, I move my butt to the edge of my seat and wrap my arms around my stomach and being rocking forward ‘nose over toes’…… Dom “I see what you’re trying to do”. “Keep in mind how hard that is for anyone to do. I don’t think I…”.

I’m standing, “you think I can transfer unsupprted?”

“Go for it”

Next thing we know I’m putting one foot in front of another! On my 5th steep I’m turning, sitting dropping my arms and looking at Dom like ‘did I do that?’

“You did that, babygirl.”

Yes, 5 steeps with my arms wrapped around my waist,  AND I was barefoot!

I no longer think Los (past occupational therapist, current friend) is insane for mentioning me walking while carrying a baby.

I definitely have to work on it. Now I’m very wobbly. I know, I know.  Webbles wobble, but they don’t….  Nina falls.
