It's kind of spooky but how easy it is to just stay in your apartment all day. It's way easier than having to go out among the living and interact with the silly face folks that I live with or even that exist out past the perimeter of the building. I conned myself into believing I had things to do all day inside the apartment which I basically did. I did my arm bike for an hour after I watched the noon news block. Then of course I had to fold the clothes and hang the shirts and keep in mind during all this time I'm trying to do positive things like picking up around my apartment stopping to do a word puzzle I'm currently working on a book of them. I labor under the simple belief that by keeping my mind somewhat occupied a good thing. Maybe I listen to the old people around here talking too much and they're all talking about things they're doing to keep their brains acute and thinkable. And that's it. I'm happy with this existence but I also know that to stay being happy I need to be doing some more with my mere existence like putting the pressure on Intermountain Medical wheelchair shop too get my chair functional again- - which I believe they're doing just not fast enough. I do not want to go through another weekend in this chair but I'm set if I have to. I'm a little worried about what seems to be my continuing loss of doing Simple Things and right now that's putting on my shorts and my shoes. I'm really holding my breath that once I get it back in my old chair these texts will become simple again. I don't think I told you yesterday I went all day without one shoe on my right foot. I know I looked a bit of a mess thank God that ran into a Good Samaritan on the bus who finished dressing me right there. She was able to tuck my shirt in on both sides as well as my jacket. Had I been carrying my shoe with me she would have put that on too and felt happy doing it. She went to Great Lengths to tell me that she used to be a CNA that she loved the job very much and love helping me for that shirt period of time. Have I been bright and on top of things I would have asked her to start thinking about doing or dressing me 4 days a week or however long I could do to get her to do that. I bet she would do it for 10 bucks just for a dressing job. It would be worth it to be put out the $40 a week if that would come to him. It would be totally worth my money as well as the rest to have this completion to dressing for the day. I know I must look a hoot.

Don't isolate too much, keep in mind that social interactions equate to mentail acuteness. Keep up the good fight and stay positive, and remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease, eventually.
