A sense of humor is a MUST when you have a spinal cord injury. This morning everything was going great, I was ahead of schedule and it looked like I was going to be on time for my appointment at Rehab Specialist at 10 a.m... wrong. After I took my bath when I try to come back through the hall way to get dressed the lift broke and I was stuck in the bathroom with just my shower cape on. I knew that I had seen my shower chair in the garage so I sent Susanna to look for it and she found the shower chair but not the seat, the shower chair is basically no good without the seat. My mom called Bill from West Coast mobility, luckily he lives not too far from here. He ended up spending the other Bill, there are two Bills that work there and he fixed it within a matter of minutes. Didn't want to be in the lift when he got here so I had Susanna bring my wheelchair into the bathroom and she put me in there and covered me up as good as possible. Needless to say I went back to bed for the day.
Yesterday Heather came over and she ended up making some outrageous enchiladas. she told me that she wasn't very good at making Spanish rice but I think it was just about the best I ever had, the enchiladas definitely where. She found some little baby zucchinis and squashs, they were SO cute and tasted great. It were only about 3 inches tall, I have never seen them before.
Brodie and I went exploring and it seems like I'm comfortable with getting a little further every time. My uncle was telling me tonight how to get to Costco, Petsmart, Cost Plus and a couple of the theaters in this area. I wanted to go see The Dark Night or Mamma Mia on Sunday but Heather told me the theaters are a mad house so it would be best to not try it, I'll take Cassidy and go this week.
Brodie has been scratching like crazy so I made her an appointment for tomorrow morning to see if there was anything that they can do. They gave me some medicated shampoo that I tried on Sunday and I thought it was going to be OK but now I can't tell if it's better or worse. I upped her Benadryl and she takes omega-3 pills and I just don't know what else I can do, it just breaks my heart to watch her scratching and biting.

I follow another journal with a dog who is also having scratching/itching problems; got to feel sorry for these dogs as they don't know what is going on and causing so much discomfort for them; I wonder what is up with Brodie? so far, thank the Lord, our corgi hasn't been itching
I'm glad you are getting out to explore! I agree with Heather, though, with the Dark Knight just coming out, the movie theaters will be a zoo for a few weeks!
what an experience you had this morning!!
betty
I'm sorry about Brodie. I had a Shep that was allergic to fleas, so he had it much worse than the normal dog & even using meds & such he still had some problems. I did use the medication bath A LOT & after a while it did help.
You definitely have a superb sense of humor & adventure for life. ~Mary
I hop ethat Brodie feels better soon. I have a Rotty who constantly has skin problems. Poor guy is always at the vet. He gets scared everytime he sees the building.
I am glad that you are ok and have a sense of humor about things. ...hugs, Christine
