"If I wanted"???? Well, long story short, I got to go home for the labor day weekend. My SCI Dr said I was ok to go, but I had to wear the bigger brace. I reluctantly agreed. They wheeled me out where Cathy had pulled up to get me. With some help, I transferred into the car, and they loaded my chair and we were on our way home. I cried. Not sure why. Just the emotion of at least part of this chapter being behind me I guess. Friday night Cathy ordered pizza. That was easy enough for me to eat without making a mess. Then, we expored the house. It was pretty clumsy at first I have to admit. Even thought it is already wheelchair accessible, it is still very awkward being blind also. Cathy helped me find the bed, transfer in and then she helped me get out of my clothes. I didn't need any for sleeping that night.:) I felt so good to be home, in my own bed, with Cathy by my side. We held each other all night. She even slipped her hand inside my brace and caressed my breasts, as I did hers. We kissed and just loved each other. Oh how I have missed that these last 4 weeks.
Saturday morning was a time of real exploration. Firsts in more than one way. In the brace, I still can't shower, so I sponged off. Cathy helped with what I could not see, or feel. I brushed my teeth. I knocked over about everything on the sink I think, but I got them brushed by myself. Then, washed my face and brushed my hair. I didn't try makeup lol! Doubt I'll ever be able to do that again by myself. Cathy left me in the bathroom, and told me to come to the dining room when I finished. I kinda panicked, but then I took a deep breath, and turned my wheelchair around and rolled it toward where I thought the door was. I bumped into the wall several times, finally finding my way out. Cathy yelled down the hall asking if everything was ok in there! We both laughed. I felt and rolled my way along the wall down the hall and into the dining room. She told me how far to roll and where to reach to find the table and my place. She told me not to reach out for anything yet, and then she explained that a boll of Cherios was right in front of me, a spoon on the left, on a napkin, and a glass of orange juice to the left behind the bowl. She said, Melody, you can do this! I know you can. I smiled, and reached slowly, feeling for everything, then, picked up the spoon with my right hand, and holding the bowl with my left, I ate my cereal, stopping occasionally to get a drink. I think I really did good! Cathy said I only spilled a couple of drops of milk. She came over and kissed me and told me how proud she was of me, and how sexy I looked sitting there crippled and blind.
After breakfast, she said I sould explore the house. Find my way around, and see how every thing felt. Remember, she said, your hands are your eyes now, love. I nodded and backed up my chair. As she washed dishes, I felt my way around the house. I went to each room. Bumping into nearly every piece of furniture we have, and every wall and doorway. She often yelled to me that I had to help clean those marks off the walls and furniture. I went thru the house about 5 or 6 times. I found after a while, it was easier for me to feel my way along with my hands and "pull" myself that way than to try and roll the wheelchair where I thought I should go. Cathy said, wow, you're really doing great! I just smiled.
After she finished that, she told me I should practice my braille while she cleaned up the bathroom. I read thru the alphabet and thru the list of words I had on the practice sheets. Cathy came in while I was practicing and began puttin my finger on certain letters, asking me what it was. I do pretty well with most. I still seem to get S and T mixed up for some reason. Anyway, after I practiced Cathy told me about the mess I'd left in the bathroom. I had used about a spoonful of toothpaste, and dropped another spoonful in the sink. Then, when I finished, I had left some on my chin, and smeared even more on the wall somehow. She confired I had knocked over almost everything on the sink. We both laughed.
That afternoon, we watched a movie, well Cathy watched, I just listened. It was an amazing day. My first day at home blind and crippled.
Sunday and Monday were pretty much the same. I did better brushing my teeth tho. It felt so good feeling Cathy touch my breasts, even thought we were very restricted due to my brace. I felt Cathy's face, and body several times. I so miss seeing her gorgeous body, and those sexy, atrophied legs. I can't get enough of touching her now, feeling every curve of her body. This has been an awesome weekend, but tomorrow morning we have to go back to the hospital, but I hope this will be the last week there before I get to go to blind school.
