Got Condo

The past three days I have been really sick. My anti- biotics have given me an upset tummy. I have pain in my ears. I have fevers too. I could not go bowling yesterday. I am hoping to see if I can do the Gleaner’s tomorrow. I want too. I still am struggling with depression. It is going to kick in two weeks. I have been HD free the past two days. Some amazing news, we got that disability condo. It is huge. We were so happy, the women that helped us get it was in tears. You should of seen some of the slummy places we lived in Calgary. We are still in shock. It is like what we pictured for a dream house. They have a huge wheel chair friendly kitchen, has huge wheel chair patio. The patio looks over a beautiful dog park and a creek. The bathrooms are huge. They have grab bars. They have huge closets. Huge storage. They have a lift in the bathroom. Next to the couch they have a bar that you can use. There is a beautiful ramp that can lead to the dog park. They have a free wheel chair, just in case I ever need one. We are so grateful for this. I was in tears too. They told us that they found us at the right time. The person that lives there, I met at that power of attorney conference. It was nice to run into her. I meet my neighbors’. There is one sweet woman that has MS there. She has a poodle. Lucky’s friends will be in the same neighborhood too. We both move on March 1st. We just have to get rent figured out tomorrow.

Got Condo

We got that condo. They loved me and Trevor. They could tell I needed it bad too. They were sweet people.We are seeing it tomorrow. We move in there on March 1st. We are so excited. I took a serious tumble three days. My landlord Karen came to help me. The dance was fun. I had fun with my special friends. I got Trevor to dance too. He hates that stuff. He enjoyed himself too. I am really having a hard time eating. I got another ear infection. This is number 7. I wish I had an immune system to fight it. I have nothing. I noticed it a bit last night. A lot today. I took myself to see my Doctor. I am taking antibiotics. I am also taking ear drops. My Nurse’s will help me with both. They upped my anti depressants because I have been struggling with depression for the past two weeks. We have to fight harder,. When hard is not enough. We have to fight harder. Get stronger. We need strength. We need control. We can gain control. We are always fighting to control ourselves. Do everything possible to do that. To go there. Fighting is the only way to win. Winning is what we hope and dream for. It is possible. We can win.
