Last night was my husband's 5th anniversary of his fashion design business, DEVONATION. i had originally planned not to go, but i didn't have my new leg. But the day before the show i received my leg and i was feeling confident around the house, so i knew i had to go and show my support.
This was my first out since July 23, except doctors appointments and with my new leg. i'll admit to being nervous, but excited at the same time.
Getting dressed was a work out. My new foot and leg don't bend, so it is a struggle to get my pants on. i even put a sock on my pole leg, so as not to attract attention.
Finally dressed, i called for an Uber and another workout awaited me as i attempted to get my leg into the small car. After picking up some flowers for Devon, i walked to the bus stop, very cautiously. My first time going downtown in months, it felt like i was in a new city.
It was rush hour, and still uncertain about my walking, i dodged a lot of people to transfer buses. Getting off the bus, to get to the venue, was a little scary because it's on a hill and there were wet leaves all over the sidewalk. With the aide of my cane, i slowly made it down the hill and over to the venue
The fashion show was well received, but i knew i had to get back home, as my body was tired. Devon sent me home via Uber and when i was comfortable i reflected about my first true outing and how i want many many more.
