Day 5 - Target and Underwear
My wife thinks its time for me to get out of the house. So we plan my first public outing -- to Target. She's tired of looking at all my old crusty underwear. I was putting on a pair of briefs in the morning and just about when I had them all the way up I look down and see the floor through them! Turns out they had some nice size holes in the bottom of them. No wonder I could feel a draft. LOL. So I get dressed and we gather and load my handicap stuff -- pills, pee bottle, walker, wheelchair -- into the car and off we go. The hardest part of the trip is getting into and out of the car. I have to use my walker to get out of the house and then I transfer myself into the wheelchair. My wife wheels me over to the car, where I stand up and turn myself using my good leg and slowly lower myself into the car seat. I rotate my hips and slowly move both of my legs into the car and viola! I'm in. The whole process takes about five minutes. At Target I wheel around in my wheelchair as my wife pushes the cart and we get our stuff. I pick out a pack of boxers along with some other stuff we need. We make it home two hours later. Mission accomplished. It feels good to get out in public again.
