Spirits lifted

We lived for some years in a very small apartment, totally unsuitable for a disabled person. The doorways and corridors not wide enough to allow a wheelchair through; a dangerous slippery bathroom tiled floor, steep steps leading out into a tiny garden, were some of the problems to mention a few. A more unsuitable apartment would be hard to find! Although cosy and charming; having made many happy memories there, it was time to move on, to somewhere that suited my needs. Now in our house that has been made especially with my disability in mind, life should be more comfortable and already feeling at home in our new surroundings, my spirits feel lifted. Waking up the first morning, seeing the sun streaming in through the windows, and looking around, was a fantastic feeling. Taking a shower was a pleasure; the non-slip floor tiles gave me a feeling of security and safety. Having our first breakfast here, trying to find where everything was in the kitchen took a while, but eventually we managed to make some coffee and locate the cereal. It will take me some time to recover from this move, and running on adrenaline and pushing myself to the limit, has now left me depleted of energy and worn out. My husband has born the brunt of all the anxieties and organizing things, running here and there, and somehow holding it together throughout the last few months, which I am eternally grateful for. It has been a very difficult period for him, working full time, and building our house whilst taking care of me, ensuring I was relieved from any stress or worries. As anyone with Parkinson's knows, anxiety exacerbates the disease at an accelerated speed. However, we are thrilled to be here and have no intention of ever moving again! I would love to tell you of all the disabled friendly features that we've incorporated into the house, but you will have to wait for another day. I'm afraid it is taking a great deal of effort to type this morning. So I will bid you all a lovely day wherever you may be in the world, till we meet again tomorrow.
