Hi, my name is dustbunny66!

dustbunny66

It all came very fast my heads spinning i know its lovely to have it all but crikey it meas this is real probably permanant WHAT hoe do I cope with that

Ami2301

It’s a standing aid which looks like a sack barrow, you stand on the base and hold onto the bars in front of you while the other person pushes or pulls the Ross Return to transfer you

dustbunny66

Yer i know i got one i got confused with transfer seat sorrt

Ami2301

It is overwhelming with all this equipment and support, that’s normal. Eventually we do accept everything that is around us. No it’s not ideal but we just have to learn to make the best out of what we can do

Ami2301

Don’t worry I forget what some of these things are called too

dustbunny66

Yer for sure it just hits you hard in the face his is how it is my poor head is struggling to accept that

Ami2301

We will get there eventually, just got to take one day at a time

dustbunny66

Yer i guess so you reckon its normal tobe overwhelmed it settles down having to get used tohearing aids and a chair is rough going but its nice to share whats youre next goal?

Ami2301

I’m terrible with my hearing aids, I keep forgetting to put them in lol. Absolutely, it’s a massive change for us and there’s all these new equipments and support at once it’s natural to feel like that. My ultimate goal is to walk down the aisle next year, or even half of it how about you?
