Low-Pain Day!

Yesterday I was super stiff in the morning and WEAK. I used the loser scooter at Target, which is embarrassing. I seriously do not make eye contact with anyone while I am in it. I hate using it--the lack of freedom. I feel like I should not get up out of it at all, or people will wonder why I am even using it. So I become irritated by my lack of mobility. However, I am glad they have those scooters, because otherwise I would not be able to go to that store. Too much walking. I would be laid out on the couch for the rest of the day.

I started to feel better in the afternoon. Physically. My brain was not really cooperating. And my eyes were getting worse.

It was a low-pain day, which was awesome!
