This week went fast. I don’t say that often since my weeks blend together. I am happily writing this with the sun shining windows open. It is beautifully cool. Looking forward to the fall weather. I’m actually looking forward to my oversized sweatshirts. I am excited to put on those comfy oversized shirts and be bundled up with my puppies. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Although I missed winter this year being in and out of the…
Good morning world. How are you this fine Tuesday morning? The big snowstorm didn’t leave as much as anticipated, from what I can see from my window. It rained last night and that definitely changed things. Cars are easily going down the road However that little snow and ice doesn’t work well for me. Power wheelchairs don’t like those conditions much. My handicap van ramp likes it even less. When I first got my van I opened the ramp by…
https://youtu.be/emapZzstxzU Another year has gone by and another number added to my years alive. I certainly am not complaining. I am actually grateful. Things were really good this year. My life was completely changed by many people, friends, family and others that barely know me contributing to my fundraiser for my van. This was at the perfect time when walking with my walker was becoming too difficult. This van gave me freedom. I was able to conserve energy that I…
I’m happy to report all the work in my condo is now complete. I had some other little projects done as well as fixing the closet. We re-touched my hallway from the scratches I’ve made with the scooter. I’ve hit into the walls many times and the walls were starting to annoy me. I had a ramp made for my balcony. I can now get out there with my scooter to clean the dog pads as well as to sit…
Today my van is getting delivered back to me. It seems that the circuit breakers under the floor were water logged. I can’t explain how but the switches needed to be replaced. They kept the car for an extra day testing everything out and hopefully this won’t be a problem again. I am doing my Rituxan infusion later this evening but I am doing at home. That makes a five plus hour infusion so much better. I get to be…
I can’t make this sh@t up. I go to my car yesterday and press the button and the door opens and ramp comes down as normal. I go into my van and press the button to close and my ramp goes in but the door doesn’t shut. So I try to press the button again and now the ramp won’t come out. Well after several attempts of pushing each of the five buttons that operate the door/ramp my aid and…
Well the 8 month journey to purchase my van was really worth the experience I had yesterday. To be able to press a button that opens a door, sends down a ramp that I can just wheel myself into is more liberating than I even expected. What makes this even better is I am finally able to use my main wheelchair which is a Hoveround MP5 . Using the travel scooter for many years was convenient. It broke down and…
