Another activity that requires supervision

I have the best mother in law she's the one that is the certified personal trainer well she looked at my shoes a couple weeks ago and realize that they were the same ones the girls got me when I was in the hospital almost 2 years ago and she scolded me you're not supposed to wear workout shoes for more than a year then give me money and insisted that I get a new pair

So I did and I believe it was a combination of my visual impairment along with my impulsivity I bought a pair of 11 wide got them home put them on warm for a day and they were killing my feet I check the box and they were 11 why but they were womens made it was just women's 11.

So my sister in law what was helping out yesterday insisted that she take me to the store today and she explained to customer service the stroke the legal legal blindness due to the stroke and allowed me to exchange the shoes so I guess it's another activity shopping for shoes or clothes but I do need assistance so I don't make an impulsive buy and purchase the wrong thing.

it's not the case that I'm not willing to take assistance it's more the case that it's my independence that is another part of my independence that is going away that I have to accept.

Oh well at least I'm here to complain about another part of independence is gone.

Peace, love, joy and prayers,

Jay

Jay - your independence is not gone - you keep trying, just like you did with the shoes. Laugh over the mistake-that is a great story for all of you. Don't get discouraged. Tomorrow you pick up and try again. If you end up in Ladies Lingerie, surely someone will redirect you!

 

You went out and bought a pair of shoes - that is major! Debbie

Thanks for the laugh but what if I don't want to be redirected our of ladies lingerie, lol of course that would bringon anew set of issues, wouldn't it

 

I'm not discouraged just an observation. It was pretty funny when I realized I did buy women's tennis shoes.

 

If I can't see the humor in that one I've got bigger issues to deal with.

 

Bless you for sharing I really appreciate it

Jay
