Morning meds

Every morning after breakfast and before therapy, I get this rainbow of pills. Fish oil for my skin, a cranberry supplement to help ward off bladder infections, an anti-inflammatory for my elbow, something for my stomach to reduce the damage the anti-inflammatory can do, and a pill to reduce the bone growth in my elbow. There are more pills at lunchtime, dinnertime and before I go to bed. At bedtime, I get the extra treat of rubbing a testosterone gel on my belly. I don't get three wishes, however.

This morning we tried a couple more car transfers with the Civic, I managed to get in along with the chair in around six minutes, and get out in eight minutes. Overall that's about five minutes quicker than last time, so it's getting better. The outing this week is to go car shopping, more for the people with power chairs that need a conversion car or van to ride into, but I'm looking forward to peeking in some different cars to see how the seats line up with the chair and how much headroom is available to get the chair in. Once I get home we'll have to start car shopping seriously, as it's practically the only way to get to the office from home. Ten more days!
