Hellooooooooooooooo, Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!
Today is Thursday, February 9, 2023. It’s going to be a
mostly cloudy and rainy day in Dallas with a high of 60.
Happy Birthday to:

Good
Morning, Possums. From the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums
on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas and Happy Friday eve to you all. It has been a while since I posted, it has,
but it’s just been busy.
Going
into the office still wears me out and then yesterday was occupational and physical
therapy and that wore me out as well.as well.
I
think I may have to pick a fight with Uber.
The drivers seem to not want to pick up anyone in a wheelchair. It
happened occasionally in 2022. But in
2023 (and it is early 2023), I am amazed at the cancellations I get when they
see I am in a wheelchair.
When
I call for an Uber, and I always call an Uber X so there is room for my chair, I
immediately send the driver the following note, “I am disabled and in a wheelchair.” Once they receive that I get an immediate cancellation
or if they don’t bother to look at the note, they cancel upon seeing the wheelchair. That happened twice yesterday and, no joke,
10 times last December. The drivers that
did pick me up always asked if I had trouble getting a ride – and it explained
it all to them – and they got a big tip!
Come
on Uber – I am NOT the only disabled person in Dallas that has places to go and
people to see. Granted, I am not the most
important person in Dallas (but I like to think I’m in the top ten) that needs assistance
accomplishing things in my day-to-day life, but you can do better. Also, Uber
is moving (or has moved) their headquarters downtown.
I
am meeting my “potential” new assistant tomorrow. She is coming over to check out my place and
discuss meal prep and all that stuff. I
hope this one works out.
In
Kankle News, my left foot continues to inflate and deflate as it sees fit, and
my right foot continues to resemble a human foot. I’ll just have to prop
up my left foot through the day and at night.
In
other MS-related news, physical therapy is rough, I am sore from yesterday and
Multiple Sclerosis still SUCKS. However, I am not defeated!
Anyhoozle,
what are your plans today?
Whatever, your day holds and whatever your plans may be, I wish
you all a SPECTACULAR day. Do everything today with kindness in
your heart. The world is full of kind people. If you can’t find
one, be one!
To all of my fellow MS Warriors, keep fighting the good fight.
And to all MS Warrior Supporters, Thank You! Your support means
everything.
Peace, Love and Blessings to you all. -AJ
