A Trip To Town....

Some asked me to share this daily life.  I drive my chair out to van, let out the lift, climb into the drivers seat.  Make necessary adjustments, then drive off with hand controls, thankful I have them.


Unload at the store, put the lift back up.  I ride too fast into store.  Get too many items, I need more than planned.  I ask someone to get me the high items down, thank them.  Check out with nice cashier helping. 

Uh oh!  dropped my shoe, cannot reach it, lap so full of stuff items.  I sit there until a nice lady offers to pick up my shoe.  She was so kind, she put it back on my foot. 

Continue to get out of store, let lift out of van, load up.  Climb back into drivers seat, now tiring with heat.

I drive home, get mail, unload from van with items that are frozen, take them into house, put up lift again.  I learned to have patience.

Now what a boring story, for such a small trip to the store.   The small things in life,  can be a challenge.  Now I need to clean again.

I am thankful I can be independent with help from kind people.  It was another story when I had small kids to take with me.
