Yesterday was a busy day, more busy
than I anticipated even though I hardly did anything. Actually,
yesterday was my final day of volunteering for the KU ER fall fund
Drive. I was so glad to been able to make the last of my commitments.
I'd gotten my chair back from the shop on Wednesday and it seemed to
be repaired. Actually it's hard to say what was wrong with the chair
something to do with the charge of the battery was so low that it
would charge or would even turn on which is very weird to me but
what's important now is that I'm back in the saddle and getting back
and forth to her need to go. So I was a four shifts I have signed up
for it was only able to make two and yesterday shift which was from
12 to 2 o'clock in the afternoon I only took two calls, which is
pretty bad if you ask me but they are happy as clams that I came in
that I volunteered. I am now sort of set up and looking forward to
the spring fund drive and hopefully I'll be able to do more shifts
and produce better for that project. In the meantime I am going to
have to start functioning or figuring out how to get another power
chair. It sounds like Alpine is making contact with my insurance and
hopefully will be able to work something out. I would like to keep
the chair that goes at least 8 miles an hour and possibly with more
features as far as the elevator feature in the leg extension feature
which I should've gotten on this chair was too dumb to figure it out
we will just have to work this one out to the best of our ability. I
knew chair I can rely on the go swiftly is comfortable and
affordable.
I was a bit taken aback yesterday when
I was on the platform waiting for university trained to come in there
is a lady dressed in black, a black duster look like a cross between
The Wild Bunch and Matrix. She was clearly agitated some form of
schizophrenic state of breakdown. It was weird though good and align
to be in some control. I was having some problems with my feet I had
not tied my shoes are great tight and my right leg and spasmed out I
was afraid it was going to lose the shoe but clearly I guess I
appeared I was in some form of distress and the matrix lady was able
to focus enough asked me if I needed a kind help but sort of
surprised me. I assured her I was basically okay that be all right
then she went right back into her land of distress and isolation. She
was arguing and crying intermittently. She clearly had been in and
out of the legal system in jail. She was having some kind of a
conversation or argument with the jailer our law enforcement person
some sort that would degrade to bursts of anguish and tears about
lost children lost jobs lost loves. It was sad and frightening. I
figured I was safe I think most people were safe on the train is used
to know what to do with. Most elected to give her white birth and
leave her alone to her agony but she clearly was gone somewhere. She
got off the train at the courthouse station and I wonder if she was
playing the further her trip downtown may be going down to Pioneer
Park or even out to the Hub to head to points north. What do you do?
She had this weird way of staring right at you so you think that
she's talking to you directly and I don't think she seeing you at all
as much as she is seeing what inside her head having a conversation
there.
There was a collective sigh of relief
as she opened the door to wrestled her bike and herself,, selves, off
the train. She was definitely headed somewhere. I hope she made it.
