You Just Gotta Get On with it!
Until you have to be in a wheelchair, or take care of someone in a wheelchair it is difficult to realize just how many barriers there are when on the move. Simple tasks like getting dressed seem to take hours. Finding handicap access ramps along busy city streets, and handicapped parking spaces is a real challenge. But, take it from us you just gotta get on with it!
When you run your own business, there is no time for sick days and since Charlie's accident we've only taken a couple. When a client calls, they expect us to be there. When a client needs us to come to their location, they expect us to be there. It's taken a couple of weeks to get down a commuting routine, but we have it down to a science.
And, don't think a little thing like a broken leg is going to keep us from ballroom dancing! PLEASE! Of course, we are not as graceful with the wheelchair as we are on our own feet...but hey, with some practice we'll be sure to improve. We sure didn't let the wheelchair spoil our recent dance with the Rotary Club!
