LIFE IN A WHEELCHAIR

Two years ago i was riding my power chair on the kingsway next to the curb when a young girl driving mommy and daddy's car clipped my rear left wheel shooting me into the curb and being catipulting me across the boulavard, i had a number of cuts on my leg and arms and when she finally stopped crying she told me she thought i was crossing the road and please don't tell my parents about this, being a sucker for young attractive crying girls i agreed not to persoue the matter any further.

Last week i went out to the bus stop at 6:30am and waited for my bus and when it came it also went leaving me sitting at the stop, the bus finally stopped up the block not because she saw me in her mirror but because 3 passengers who know me told her she left me behind. I don't understand how anybody could miss 260 lbs. of fat boy and 330 lbs. of wheelchair has to be more blind than i am.

Yesterday i was riding up weber st. on the sidewalk and just missed hitting the passenger door of a car pulling in to the plaza if i hadn't stopped. A car leaving stopped and said "YOU SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL SON".

I'm tired of apologizing for idiots that are at fault all the time, i may be disabled but not stupid at least i think so, i know the jury is still out on that.

see you soon....
