My first adventure at the hospital

After 22 days of staying on bed rest in a hospital room, I finally got to go on my first adventure yesterday. I went on my first wheelchair ride. Outside my room! I was giggling like a school girl when the finally agree to wheel me. It was quite a process for just a 10 minute ride. It even made me feel bad about it. One nurse had to wheel me and the other nurse had to wheel my IV machine. And on top of it, it took 5 minutea to unhook and untangle all the cord. And I only get to stay inside the building. But I was so happy to get to go outside. It was my second time on a wheelchair. It's quite an experience. Being a person who's totally capable of walking and having someone to wheel me is a strange feeling. My first feeling was dizzy. Having the first time to sit up is not an easy thing. I was dizzy for the entire time. And I was very sensitive to bring light, which made mem even more dizzy. Seriously, I had to cover my eyes for the entire time because I was so sensitive to light. What a strange feeling?! I got to go see the whole labor delivery unit and see the nurses who normally takes care of me in my room outside the room. Everyone was happy for me. It's a big step for me as a patient. I was much happier for the rest of my day yesterday. Simple things can make me super excited at times. Happy Ultrasound Monday!
