I am exhausted from all the work I did in July. First I went to transition classes during summer school this year and had so much fun meeting new people. We are learning life and working skill. They wanted me to open garbage bags up but I wanted just throw them on the floor. It was a fun watching MS Marge (my aid) get so mad at me.
Poppy would come and pick me up after a few hours and I would go to therapy in Kissimmee FL. Not just any therapy but suit therapy. I did this therapy from 2011-2015 and it is very hard. It was because of this therapy I could walk for a short time with canes. I had some medical issues happen from 2014-2017 and I really lost most of my strength & skills. Poppy is happy about the progress but 3 hours of therapy per day for 3 weeks daily is a lot of work and I am not happy with him.
Let me tell you about the coolest thing happen at therapy. I met this guy named Thomas. We were both doing therapy and we both tried to show off for each other. We even got to sit next to each other once. OH don’t tell Poppy, but I think he is handsomer. He even said I was pretty, but we all knew that.
Medically I had a really good month with lots of routine doctors appointments in between therapy. I am a whopping 92 lbs and was really glad for the last week of July and therapy was over and I got to rest. My nurologist was not happy with the increase in seizures and said I had to go back on one of my meds. So I am on two meds right now. Hopefully it will get better.
We have some exciting news to share on the blog. Poppy started running this last year to get back in shape and he purchased a new running stroller in June for me to ride in when he walks and runs. Starting in August he is going to start pushing me during his weekend runs and we are going to start racing together. My first run will be a 10K virtual run for Dravet Syndrome Foundation, its the “2022 Steps for a Cure” , Poppy will be running and pushing me for 10K (6.2 miles) while I enjoy the breeze.
