Today is Thursday and every Tuesday and Thursday I have to dress myself and typically that's not been an issue pretty straightforward I just crossed my legs use with my sticks to pray my leg up and over the other one and put my shorts on and then my shoes and then pull everything on after that. I've noticed in the last three or four months however it's becoming more and more difficult to pull this off I'm not sure exactly why. My first inkling is to blame my power chair that I've maybe bent it or Twisted it maybe the way I sit in it I don't know for sure but I think I want to blame the chair when the fact is probably me. It didn't require a while I'll bet it took me an hour to dress this morning primarily because once I put my shorts on this morning I don't know what I did wrong but I put the shirts so my foot went into the wrong hole which meant that I had to put the whole thing down and start all over again from the very beginning. I'd actually even put my shoe on at this point so I had to pull my shoe off and push the stick with my shorts on it off my foot and start over again and this took a lot longer than I had anticipated but I got it done then eventually and I was relatively civilized an appearance. Since it's Thursday that means it's coffee social and I was really focused on trying to get ready by 9:30. Fortunately I was ready by 9:00 which I felt pretty comfortable with. I may have to at some point engage somebody to help dress me everyday right now I have to dress myself 4 days a week on the other three my home health person comes in and she does a great job. I suppose if I were rich I would have somebody come in every day to do my dressing. I don't know what would happen if I tried this I would certainly go through money faster and I don't want to deal with that at this point when I can still just myself even though it takes a bit of time and commitment.
Do they look pretty good. There are minimum clouds and look like a very spring morning but it was still pretty chilly I was kind of surprised but I didn't want to spend a whole other day in my apartment watching movies or whatever I end up doing so after coffee I messed around the apartment for an hour or so and then when I cross the street and cut the bus and went up to 5400 South took in the movies. I went to zoo opolis too. It's animation but it was pretty well done it was pretty good I enjoyed it actually. There really wasn't the whole lot to really pick from as far as I was concerned but I really wanted to take advantage of the fact that that program I belong to as far as watching as many movies as I want to during the month offers me a free tub of popcorn and cold drink. That was really my main reason for going was too but sure I took advantage of of those things. Like I said the movie was okay and I was really quite ready to go home though when I was finished as well as I was pretty tired had a hard time sleeping this morning. I actually had to use my catheter in bed which I hardly ever do that's a whole another issue and probably a whole another days dictation anyway. I pretty much came straight home catching the bus finally but I was cold I was chilly plus I was feeling weird like I'm coming down with something. It seems like hearing people talk this morning in the front of the building people in the building that are all having some kind of flu or sickness of some sort and I was wondering if I was having some sort of issue like that. Felt like I was really feverish for a while this afternoon. I took a moment and did 20 minutes or 30 minutes on the arm bike then watch the Jazz they lost by one point or maybe two points. They worked hard though I must give him that I wish they had made some of the shots that they messed up on but they did good I have to give them that. I started feeling better once I took a couple of ibuprofen turn the heat on then sit back in my chair and enjoyed the afternoon and the game as much as I could and in the day finishing watching Independence Day the movie
