Contemplating the whole "when does an injury become a disability," we are continuing to make adaptions to our world. And one is really exciting: I now have a daytime driver! She's a friend of mine, a LCSW who has been looking for work as a home health aide, and now I'll pay her to take me to doctor's appointments, school functions, and whatever else I need. I'm thrilled about the possibility of increased activity and freedom. I think she's looking forward to it to. (And I write a killer reference letter!) I still have to find someone to transport the kids a few times a month (she has a child in school and so isn't available then), but we're making progress.
Of course, I do and will always be grateful for the others who have ferried me around, particularly Mrs. S. Thanks for taking me to the tag sale today; it was good to get out. We'll save our future outings for fun things like coffee!
