Today was a great day. After working on sitting up and sensory tolerance for the last few months, I finally felt well enough to go out in my wheelchair! @izzy took me to a green area near where we live, and then as I was still feeling good she took me into Gateshead to look around Big Tesco. Bought ribbons, plastic cutlery, chewing gum and a blue cardigan (I was cold but it's going to be Izzy's).

To save Izzy's weak girl legs we got the bus back up the hill and apart from not fitting on the first one (the wheelchair bay was too small for my chair) I did fine on the second bus, which hasn't been the case in many years. Motion sickness has definitely improved!

I spent some time in the living room before getting back into bed, mostly because my bum was sore. According to my heartrate monitor, the only time it went higher than my normal was when I was being hoisted, which fits with how I felt. How I recover will determine when I can go on my next adventure, but I'll be living off the memories of today for a while 😊
