I am really beginning to
be concerned about repeating myself in this document. I really
shouldn't worry about it to the extent that I do sense no one reads
it actually with perhaps three or four people and I doubt they've
read this blog from its beginning. So I shouldn't worry about
repeating myself time to time. Even then I don't think it's a
complete repeat.
Yesterday I stopped at the
rehab facility I went to after my second stenosis operation a couple
of years ago. Great people there and I enjoyed spending time with my
OT in PT person briefly yesterday afternoon. In our conversation I
talked about my frustration, confusion and anger when the manual
wheelchair I had worked so hard to get is totally opposite from what
I had ordered.I could just cried I was so frustrated. But that is not
what this blog today is about.
I want to zoom, I zoom
zoom in my manual wheelchair. I do scoot across the floor like a
breeze, like the paras do. I think it broke my heart when I finally
realized that I was never going to be able to zoom zoom like the
paras. I guess it takes a special muscle structure to propel oneself
in these lightweight chairs. I had some in the time I've been
disabled it's not the chair it's the person. This desire to zoom zoom
was all before my stenosis operations a couple years ago. Now is not
the ghost of a chance, hell I be happy just to be able to push myself
in a manual chair if I had a manual chair to push. I still have my
manual chair which broke on me I think in 2013 your something like
that which started the whole heartbreaking outlined above. I don't
get in that chair very much which is kind of a shame I need to just
from the weight standpoint to try to lose some pounds or kilos since
the scales I use is all in kilos.
If I had all the money in
the world, or a lot more money than I have now, and I know I could
order a chair exactly like I wanted I would order a chair like the
one I have now sitting in the corner but it would be brand-new. It
had all the space in the world like a rich man has a six car garage,
I would have a manual chair that would be easy to push – – even
though I know I could not zoom zoom it would still make me feel cool
and perhaps give to those who are looking on the allusion that I
might be able to zoom zoom if I really wanted to. Pulling off fat
hoax would sure be fun.
It's hard to believe,
sitting here now in the dead of winter, that each day brings me
closer to another spring and summer. I'm kind of thinking that this
warm period dry season I will do one final push in the manual chair
that I have to see if I can drop some weight and get a little more
exercise go over to the park and push along sidewalks and close my
eyes and pretend that I am zoom zooming.
