Wheelchair Van Problems

Happy Friday! So my wheelchair van has been in the shop and we've been waiting to hear if it's totaled or not. They're trying to determine if the policy covers the conversions of the van or not. It's been a really difficult process, between getting a wheelchair rental van and going back and forth from …

On The Outside Looking In

Happy Friday. Growing up, I've always been excluded from almost everything. First, it was birthday parties, then it was the pre-Homecoming/Prom stuff, like getting ready and taking pictures together. All this, was because of my disability because I couldn't get into certain places and because I had to have someone help me eat. So when …

Crowds don’t like me

Happy Friday. When I accidentally run people over they get mad and they yell at me. This past weekend I was at an event that was completely packed. Now, I don't mind crowds at all, but when you're in a wheelchair trying to get by/through people, they don't look where they're going, and they also …

A wonderful Thanksgiving

Happy Friday! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I sure did! It's been awhile since I actually enjoyed Thanksgiving, and that's because of that fact that I can't get into most people's homes. Well, that was not the case for yesterday. We were going to one of my mom's friends house for Thanksgiving, but …

A very frustrating Saturday night

On Saturday night, my mom and I went out for dinner. The restaurant we went to was small, and all of the tables were to close together. We found a table that was accessible, and out of people's way. Unfortunately, we had to move because that table was apparently off limits. So, we were moved …
