The simple pleasures in life of being able to still shower. The struggles of mobility to move safely into the shower is energy draining. (Please do not judge or suggest a care giver to help me. I’m struggling with this due to prior traumas. When I’m ready, I will get one). I have to prepare myself mentally to do this simple task that many people are able to do without any struggle.

No longer are the mornings I can say, gonna hop in the shower real quick. My showers are if I’m lucky once or twice a month and takes a good solid hour to an hour and half to undress, wheel to the shower, move my legs to get in safely grabbing my grab bars. It’s a bonus if I can stand for 5 mins letting the warm water beat down on my head. My favorite part. Do the daily tasks of soaping, shampooing, maneuvering around on my shower chair very carefully. Get out, dry off half ways. Sit in wheelchair, get legs up and feet on the feet rests. Rest for a bit. Continue to put on clean clothes, blow dry my hair.

It’s a win for me when I’m nice and a freshly coconutty smelling human when I’m done. My hair looks pretty good too. It’s a nice sunny day today. A blessing to be mobile and alive. Easter blessings to everyone. 💪🧡💪 #mymsandme #msandmylife #mswarrior #mswarriors
