Glowing Proof of Diminished Trauma

Got to see my newish therapist, who did some more EMDR. We dialed back the car-crash experience to very bearable levels. Hooray!

Today I learned just how much calmer I am. A pal and I were on a photo expedition in the arboretum near our houses. When I wheeled down the hill, it was steep but I felt in control.

I wasn’t so lucky on the return journey. The grade is the same as my driveway, which I handle no problem, but my anti-tippers dug in to the boggy soil. I very slowly spilled over backwards, landing on my side.

Proof of mental health: I’m not shook. Mainly relieved.

Crucially, I was with a friend who took very good care of me, and recruited someone to get the chair back to pavement and me back to chair.
