The importance of straps!

Yesterday, I had a date with my boyfriend. I woke up not feeling the best but I didn't want to cancel as I wanted to see him. Mum came to chaperone and drive. I got there and he had a gorgeous bouquet of flowers for me! I love them. Then we went and got chinese for dinner. It was very yummy although because of my gastroparesis I barely ate. We then went to Lesmurdie Falls as he loves photography, as do I and we wanted to get some photos. I got in my wheelchair and it said wheelchair access- Great! There was wheelchair access for a little way and then there was steps! Really??! So I got out of my wheelchair and walked down the steps, we turned the corner- more steps. I didn't want to disappoint him so I did them too. Then I got back in the chair and went over the gravel. While we were doing that the pain got so bad and I ended up crying! So we had to turn around and get back. After that we went to a baptism- it was beautiful. We then went home. When we got home I got changed and I realized- I had forgot my hip leggings/straps! Whoops!! 

Last Night I passed out from the pain, then when I came too I couldn't sleep at all. It took 3 different sleeping meds to get to sleep! 

Love and Hugs
