CHAPTER 3

 

The next morning I woke up and wanted to take a shower and wash from the top to the bottom …when the nurse came in, she asked if I wanted to clean up, YES I sure do

Can I take a shower and wash my hair PLEASE, Well you do not walk to well but we have a way for you to do just that, it's called a shower chair so you can sit in the shower and clean yourself and shampoo your hair …..You have an appointment in 1 ½ hrs

So hop to it….I will get you a chair …out she went and came back in with a plastic wheel chair that she said was water proof and will go in the shower .. Want some help… I will watch you any way to be sure you don't get hurt …..Come on ….she put a do not enter sign on the door.

Came over to me and helped me to take off my clothing and diaper… Picked me up and put me in that chair then rolled me into the bathroom turned on the shower, checked the water nice, and warm …. Ok in you go here is some shampoo start there and when you get done, use this soap to do the rest and then I will help you to dry off………….OH THAT FEELS GOOD I needed this … This feels good ….I will stay here for a week I washed and washed …Hey you done in there the city is going to run out of water …

I think I am growing gills. I can't get out. Come back next week and check on me.

OK come out of there and I will dry you off …..Opened the curtain and pulled me back into the bathroom area ….Do you think you can go potty? I don't have to go. At least I don't feel like I have to go …….ok let me dry you and take you out of here ……..Yes Master …..She dried me off and wrapped a towel around me carried me to the bed and laid me down checked my legs to see them work then checked my arms …..Took some powder

Put it on my bottom and then a diaper pulled into a sitting position…You are a very pretty girl you know ….can you stay there for a minute… I will get something for your hair …

She went out and took the sign off the door went to the desk and came back with some scrunches. Brushed my hair into a ponytail she went over to a dresser took out a pink girls gown with lace and frills all over it …put this on, she put it on me …a little long but fancy. It will keep you warm today is a little cool out in the hallway ….she went out and brought in the small wheelchair picked me up and put me in it ….got some pink fuzzy slippers …put them on me and put my feet on the footrests released the brake and said ..

Get lost for ½ hr ok I will change your bed and get it ready for tonight … GO …So out in hall I went toward to visitors area it was quiet in here this morning ….A lot of the rooms were empty that is a good sign that means nobody was hurt and needed them ….

I turned around and headed the other way , I stared to get used to the chair a how to make it go and turn and stop ….Then saw Mrs. Wells coming down the hall …she waved to me …. Come with me Ronda we have an appointment to get you back on your feet …

Into the therapy room and toward the back was some tables we went over to them come up here she said ……I set the brake and reached up to pull myself up but not strong enough yet …She could see this and helped me to stand held me there I was wobbly and

It felt strange to stand up, I have not stood up for more that a month with my legs in that sling and a bar in between them, they got a little lazy …she just let me stand there for a while and when I started to get floppy swaying she picked me up and put me on the table on my back put a pillow under my legs …. She went away for a while then carried some thing with her and came back put the things she had down ….and started to put a long sock on my right leg then put one on my left leg ….She took a metal brace attached to a shoe and put it on my left leg pulled some Velcro straps by my ankle then under my knee then above my knee then around my thigh and it fit snuggly but not tight ..

She did the same to the other leg . The white shoes had high backs and the pink laces with loops to wrap them around, pull them closed ….they had square toes, and the sole wrapped up in front looked like baby shoes she checked all around and then picked me up and put me on the floor. Stand there for a minute ….. She was watching me I could stand there with only one hand and was not wobbly like before ….she took my hand and said come walk with me,, I try to take a step and the leg did not move so I tried the other one that one I can move but only drag it ….so I tried to move my hips and drag my legs that I could do to get moving but I could not go far I need something to hold on to and I asked ,,,,,I need something to hold on to.. OK … now we are getting some where ,,,,, here try these on your forearms and I will adjust them ….so she put them on me and I grabbed the handles…..she took one and adjusted it put it back took the other one adjusted and put it back ,,,,,,she walked around me and said try to get to that table over there ….I could get to moving ,,not great but I was moving on my own it took a while but I got there and was tired already ….ok she said enough for to day ….she brought the wheel chair over to me set the brake .,,,, ,,,,,,,,,Let me show you how to bend your knees , See this piece here you slide it up and it catches on here …..You try it ..

I tried and got the other side to move and my knee bent I started to fall but she taught me .

It takes some practice to get used to it …Here lean back on this chair not too hard and try to sit down .I took my arms out of the crutches and put them down then grabbed the arm rests …. Pulled myself back a little and was able to get back in the wheelchair ….see if you can put your feet in the steps there …I could do it ……now put your crutches in the holders on the back here… I put them in the brackets and they stayed there and a strap held them tight ,,,,, Now back to your room ….go she followed me to my room and asked me to set the breaks get the crutches out and move your legs out and lock them both like we did in that room I did that , Now lean forward a little and take some weight on your crutches and up I was standing on my own ……try walking to the bathroom and get a drink of water …..That was not as easy it took a while but I got there … and got a cup out and took a drink if water . I farted and pooped in my diaper .what do I do now …..She was laughing at my look on my face … you look like something terrible just happened ..

Is it that bad come over here and I will change you …. You are cute you know ….but you stink right now …lets get you cleaned up …..She put a pad on the bed and started to change me when mom came in ….as she took off the dirty diaper she said phew you stink.. And took it in the bathroom disposed of it and brought back a washcloth and washed my bottom …..Mom said , that's my girl stinky bottom and all …at least we know it works …. Want me to finish up here ,,,,, if you don't mind yes that way I can get back to my office and get my paperwork done thank you ….

Mom was finishing up and pulled me up and said I see you have your braces now can you walk ? Yes a little but I get tired fast Mrs. Wells showed me how to get in the wheelchair and back out without getting killed ,,,,,

Oh, I like your latest fashion shoes …

I think you had some like that about fifteen years ago, they are back in fashion I see…

Yes just wait till all the girls at school see them ,they will run out and buy shoes to match . Let me see you walk …. I slid off the bed and reached for my wheelchair .got my forearm's and held on bent down and locked my braces . Put my sticks ( forearm crutches ) on my arms and started to move toward the bathroom …..Aunt Wendy came in with Amy and Uncle Bob .

Well look who's up and running around ,Uncle Bob said , "wanna Race me this is the only chance I will get to beat you "……………

Uncle Bob Hi ,,,,, HE came over to where I was , I turned and lost my balance and he caught me before I fell …Hey you gained weight … He said …Very funny ,

Amy asked me …..Do you want to go to the movies .. Can I …..

The nurse came in and said yes you have to get dressed though we will not have our patients streaking in town … It gives us a bad name …….Amy had a bag and said put this on and I will help you and we can be best friends … ok ….ok…

Uncle Bob went out to get the suburban ,,Mom and Amy started to change my clothes..

When I was naked, Amy said look at those scars all over your bottom and in front ..

It dose take a lot to be a girl like you …but I love you Ronda.. We will be friends and I will help you with everything ,,,,here put this slip on and this camisole …..

Amy slow down ,Aunt Wendy said , give her a chance to catch up help her put them on she is not used to them yet and will need help … Just like you when you were a baby ..

She has to learn the same way …Now help her put them on but first what else is in the bag we brought … Oh yeah the bra I forgot she needs a bra ….we got one for you like mine it's padded and makes you look bigger up here see , she pulled her blouse up and showed me her bra ,,, Now let me put it on you,, arms up out in front , she slid the bra up and fastened it in the back adjusted the side straps … this felt strange the first time I ever had one on and it was a strange feeling tight around my chest but not to tight… my first bra next the camisole and then the slip, but I could not lift my legs to put the slip on ,,,

Mom picked me up and Amy put the slip on Mom put me down, next the dress it was pretty light green and when I put it on it went just below my knees …It was comfortable,

The dress had a rounded collar and buttons on the back a white ribbon belt white trim with lace around the front …

With the bra I look like a girl for sure no doubt I was a girl .

Aunt Wendy brushed my hair and made a ponytail tied it with white ribbon and put in two white hair clips ….took out a pink lipstick and put a little on me , she put it in a black purse and gave it to me ,look in side here is two extra diapers and some wipes ..

All set ,, lets go ,,,, Mom put me in the wheelchair and put my sticks in the holder..

The dress just came to my knees sitting down …may be it should be a little longer I said ,,

Yes a little long would help your modesty and hid your braces ,,,,try it for a while and see what is the best ,,,, you know you will have to go to the bathroom and a long dress might be a problem …yeah I didn't think of that ….. Ok lets go

 

Going to the movies was a new experience in a wheelchair . There are only a few places you can park one … this movie was packed and I had to park at the side isle near the back .,Or I could park in the front row in front of everybody and look straight up …I took the back Amy sat next to me … the only seat available…. Mom and Uncle Bob ,Aunt Wendy

In the middle. In front of us ….the movie was good a lot of action and car crashes ….

Swartsnegger was blowing up everything …..Terminator Three …….I was wet and needed a change on the way out …….Mom and Amy took me to the ladies rest room

Now that is a whole other experience ……on the way in I mashed my hand on the door.

Someone made a mess in the stall and there was no paper towels …The counter was dirty and wet … the only place to change me was at the baby changing station at least that was clean mom picked me up and put me on that station and my feet hung over the edge …

Ain,t she a little big for that some women said to Mom …..mom took my diaper off and handed to her … She just left … Mom said buttinski …………..All mouth no action ..

All dry and a lot more comfortable .we went out and got to a restaurant and went in and washed ourselves up then set down to order …. That was a good night,, Back at the hospital I was getting ready for bed and took off the dress and the bra , slip ,camisole

Put on my night gown … took off the braces changed my diaper again … mom kissed me

Said night ,,,Amy Kissed me night , them Aunt Wendy ,,Uncle Bob …the nurse came in took my vitals tucked me in said good night pretty girl , turned off the big light and closed the door ……………
