Hi Everyone!
It's a beautiful spring day today! The breeze is just a soft steady breeze, the birds are chirping, people riding their bikes, walking their dogs and just enjoying the day! In a few months my in ground swimming pool will be open and I can enjoy swimming ALL summer long!
When I'm in the pool and in the nice warm water my muscles move easily and I don't have a care in the world! For some of my therapy I've had to use the swimming pool to make sure that my muscles stay in shape and loose!
If my muscles get too tight I WON'T be able to walk, so its always very important that I keep my body in shape, otherwise my body won't work the way I want it too become very tight and immobile! !
I also take walks with my motorized cart in the summer! I've always worked the hardest I can work to stay OUT of a wheelchair and be as mobile and independent as possible! I plan too live in my own place someday!
You NEVER have to be afraid to try new things, because if you don't try things yourself first, how are you ever going to learn to live independently! I choose to try to learn something new everyday! Here are three examples, take out the garbage, do housework, and try too cook something! In order for a disabled person to live alone they have be able to know how to care for themselves and their environment, because someday their friends and family are NOT going to be around too help them and take care of their every need!
Here's my advice for people that need help from their loved ones! Before you ask for help in doing something, always try to do it yourself FIRST, if you DON'T try it before asking someone for help how will you ever to learn to accomplish your goals?
What a great article! Some fabby advice for all. Keep the spririt and look forward to reading more.
