Alone on a Friday Night
Both of my brothers are at work. My mom and dad went to the store. I am sure my dad took his truck. His truck -- he got it last month. and he loves it more than life itself.
The truck is cool. And it's nice to have. We didn't have a car that could haul things. I haven't been able to transport my electric wheelchair in one of our cars since the van died in 2005.
I threw a fit when it died because at that time c-van wouldn't come out to my house, and I thought it was important to use Missy (my electric wheelchair) a little, keep up my leg strength to get into the van, and keep some independence by using Missy. But as you can guess, nobody really listened to me. And I flushed more of my independence down the toilet.
I don't think I could get in the truck now. Not that anybody's ever asked me to ride in the truck.
My dad has taken everyone for a ride in the truck. Everyone, but me.
He finally buys something that can haul my chair and I can't get into it. It's too late. And it sucks.
It's not fair to feel so alone.


I'm really sorry that accessibility and your dads cool truck don't mix. And, yes, Friday's alone *bite*

What a great blog you have - just hope your dad comes up with something more suitable - so you can try out the truck... Keep motivated and keep writing.

Thanks, Aunt Sue. Today was a better day...luckily I didn't hit any of the 5 cars in the driveway when the bus dropped me off at home. I saw my job coach today!
