Fi's 1st trip out in her new wheelchair set up - Official end of lockdown in the UK

So its officially the end of lockdown here in the UK. We are nit entirely sure what that means bar higher risk factors as the clinically vulnerable are no longer shielding. 

Fi has had her wheelchair and accessible van for a little while now but she's been rather reluctant to use it. The funny thing is it is the best thing for her if she wants to get around and do more than get somewhere then flake out. 

Unfortunately Fi is finding it hard to get into the wheelchair to get out from a mental point of view and its for a few reasons. 

She hates how people in a supermarket don't check where they are steering their trollies or themselves, there have been a few times where this has happened and she has had to be rescued and it results in weeks of recovery (if we are lucky). But more than that she hates how she worked so hard for six years to build herself up and get out of a wheelchair and she is aware it is irrational - not that it changes much!

So I encouraged her to get out of the house and build that confidence up and maybe work towards feeling more comfortable and confident in Sysiphus.

Thanks for joining us and have a great day 😀
