AI Overview
"You are a pioneer" means you are a trailblazer or innovator, someone who is among the first to explore, develop, or settle a new area, idea, or field. This can be in a literal sense, like settling a new region, or a figurative sense, like leading in science, art, or business.
While removing the twist cap from a gallon of pool chemicals, I realized I just twisted it off and also that I pulled the tab with fingers, and not a sharp knife and WORDS
Poof, I just pulled it off. 7 months of doing it and now I can, without help. woo hoo for strong finger tips.. IF YOU CANT DO SOMETHING JUST KEEP TRYING AND YOU WILL...
1 year ago, I could not bend over and touch the floor with my hands, now I can bend over and reach 6 inches below the floor, I know this because to get the basket out of the skimmer without falling in the pool.The hole in a pool with a basket in it is called a skimmer. It is a device located at the waterline that pulls water into the pool's filtration system and catches large debris like leaves and twigs in the removable basket. Before Pioneer Woman, I had to use a grabber and balance with a staff.
I can climb off and back on the electric recliner quickly because waiting for the foot rest to close is way to long. Think: People Knocking, Phone ringing, urgent Potty break
I can put the foot holders on the wheel chair without screaming at the chair, which is what happened the first few times
when we cleaned up hurricane stuff, I had to use the 5 foot staff I found on the ground, to hold me up while I bent and now I can bend and pick up without it
I can open jars and bottles, I can pop the top on a soda can, I can keep the pool clear and sparkling, have yet to conquer scooping out the bottom scum that accumulated over a year.
I can take care of the business of LIFE all by myself.. with 2 demanding: me first, I want it now, my mama, not yours, Toddlers (1 human, 1 canine)

You are a pioneer in thoughts and words as well as deeds, Sandra. You can take an every day event and turn it into an adventure to write about!

... what David said! ... Brava! Brava! YAM xx
You're an example to us all, Sandra. Definitely, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
thank you David, I just duct taped the short fence that keeps the dog away from a hole to the post. No nail gun no brad nails, but gotter done.
Proof positive is right here. You are a pioneer woman!
You're an inspiration, Sandra. It's good to hear you are able to do more of your chores without too much trouble.
Wildly applauding from the north! Seriously, methinks you need to start your own YouTube (motivational) channel. Now, I need to practice how to jump up and beat my slow-poke recliner footrest when Macie Ann starts coughing.
You're proof positive we can do anything we set our minds to.
We both have two toddlers now - exhausting isn't it?!
