First Night Home

First Night Home

The first night home felt like a breath of fresh air in itself. The first thing I did when I walked into the house was go straight to the couch and sit down. As my parents were unloading the car, I just sat there and took it all in. Next, I ate dinner on our plate. My first meal at home was fufu....boy was it good! After awhile, the walker and shower seat were delivered...not excited about using them. It was only temporary.

Then, we decided to go out and pick up my prescriptions and other things. I was able to go because I wanted to go for a drive. It was nice being able to be in a car! But after awhile I began to get sleepy and we had just started the errands lol!

When we finally got home I needed assistance to get up the stairs. I did not want to sleep downstairs! I was determined to force myself up those stairs if it was the last thing I did! And guess what....I did it!!! All the way up....step by step...it took awhile but I did it!!! I was able to sleep in my OWN bed my very first night home! That was pure determination.

That night I felt like I slept like a baby even though I woke up at 5 am. I felt well rested and did not feel bothered. It was such an amazing feeling!!
