I shower with a shower chair every two days, I brush my teeth, curl my hair, pick out my clothes the night before, and make sure I take all my meds when I'm suppose to. And I eat 6 small snack meals a day.

The self-care routine I try to do is shower including body scrub and skin care, hair straightened, fresh PJs, and fresh bedding and end it with a nice cup of tea in bed watching my favorite show. I tend to do this before as the whole routine tries me out.
