The Little Things

This post was Poo Inspired. I tweeted these words very early this morning and I hope you get motivated even if it's just for a short while- "I am really pressed. Like really, really pressed. But, I can't use the loo cos the electricity broke. Invariably, affecting water supply.

My flatmate to help me get water is deep in his sleep. I don't wanna wake him up. (typical me). Now, I've to endure the pain.

I'm here on my wheelchair ♿ quietly praying he'd wake up anytime soon. #Paraplegic #LifeOfADisabled
And this is no thread. It is my reality.
Challenges like these, albeit 'simple' to you, makes me numb to so many pain & hurts in life. I grow in & with the pains daily.
I remembered just last Sunday at the mall when I saw & used a wheelchair accessible bathroom. I was so excited. First time ever.

Yeah....he's awake. I think my mind woke him up. Time to go visit the white bowl. Buh-bye 👋" #Paraplegic #LifeOfADisabled #SelfMotivated #AmazingHeem #MondayMotivation #NikeAirMax #Madrid #CR7 ♿

ADAPTATION

Yes, sh!t does happen. The last time I fell on the wheelchair was just few days ago. Picture this: I needed to go over a barricade which was obstructing my movement. A colleague decided to assist me by tilting the wheelchair backward to enable the castor wheels go over the barricade.

Oblivious of him, he lifted the two back wheels higher after the castor wheels had already been placed on the ground. And oops, I tumbled and rolled on the ground hitting my leg on the wheelchair. It was quite painful. Being the person that I am (I hate to show pain), I only rubbed the leg a few times and acted like I wasn't that pained.

I got thinking so much about this accident and said to myself: "why don't you show pain and discomfort? You are only human."

Over the years I have had to learn to be numb to pain and discomfort. Don't blame me. It's just my way of ADAPTATION. #Paraplegic #Numb #Pain #SelfMotivated ♿

NB: MY VLOG WOULD BE UP AND RUNNING AGAIN SOON.
