One of the things I hate most about the bus and light rail cars is the decals they put on the windows by the wheelchairs stations on these vehicles. I don't mind that they have these places identified as places where seniors and people in wheelchairs sit it's just that why do they have to put the Blessed blank the blank decal right in the head Zone area of where people sit meaning that you can't look out the window and see what's on the other side. This sounds Petty I know but when you're on the train or on the bus sometimes that's all you God just watching the world go by as you go to your destination. I don't know if they do it on purpose just to irritate people with disabilities but it sure seems that way. All around this decal or sometimes little dots dots on the window is clear and if you look at the windows of everybody else who has a window to look out of they're clear but if you're in a wheelchair sitting down you can't look out that drives me crazy. Luckily I didn't have to use the train or the bus today- - I don't think I really could if I'd wanted to just because my wheelchairs incapacitated- - again. Today I had occupational therapy my therapist, Kelly who really is a Advocate kind of for her clients it's quite upset the fact that my chair no longer seem to be functional or it seems to be falling apart around me from one day to the next. Hyped up about me advocating for myself and trying to get the whole thing fixed. I've been holding off cuz I don't know what the process is going to be because they always basically take my chair away one way or the other but I need to get it taken care of. I believe what I've done is blowing the bearings out of my caster on my right side front wheel. I waited all day to get the one technician it's worked with me in the past, who knows me I think we have a love-hate relationship, over the years. He got back with me this afternoon just after closing time at work basically telling me I'm on my own. He doubts that the insurance will do anything on this chair since it's so close to falling apart and that if I wanted to find some other part and have that replaced somebody else to do it that might be the way to go. I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon cuz I'll have to go through ucat or something like that. Going to have to find somebody who can actually do the work maybe Carl can do it but I hate putting any more stress on him he's been so good all the way around. Maybe the boys down at you catch possibly but still have to be out of my chair for them to work on it. I am afraid I may have to go to my other chair for the next couple days so I can get this thing fixed.
