Think flying is stressful? Try it in a wheelchair

This would be an awesome sight to see! Too bad there was GoPro‬ the time I was flying by myself and saw my ‎wheelchair‬ sitting on the tarmack as I felt the plane pulling from the gate!

Damn CP Crip!

When I go shopping with Wifey, or someone we look like a train because I hold onto the back of the cart and the person can pull us both. Today Wifey and I went shopping for snackage and beverages for the studio. On our way out of the store, my front wheel of my chair got stuck in the sidewalk crack, but Wifey kept going and I could not let go! So my ass took a dive in slow motion. That is the thing about knowing how to fall and not fighting it, you just end up with a scratch or two. This way you can just bounce back up from it before people can start flipping out.

Smartphone or Not To Smartphone

My "dumb" phone died last week, even when we plugged it in and it would not come on. I call it a "dumb" phone because, it could only call and text. I like have the QWERTY keyboard since I could use my finger to use it.  So the big #CPDilemma was to get another "dumb" phone with get and keyboard, or just break down to get a smartphone a use the head stick? I like being able to get away from sitting around with my head stick on to use technology, plus I do not like to travel with my head stick.  It could break, or worse and the whole cycle would need to start of getting a new one. So I get a Droid 4, that still had the keyboard. To me it is more important that I can text with my finger then having all of the good stuff. #gimplife

It is crazy how people still think making property accessible devalues there property even when its for another one’s home! ‪ once we lived at an appartment complex and wanted to take out the the and do a roll in shower. They said we could do it, but when we moved we had to put the shower back. idiots!!!

via  CerebralPalsy.org-  Vincent and Heidi Giesegh, the parents of a 16-year-old daughter that has spastic #CerebralPalsy built an accessible ramp to their front door and widened their driveway to accommodate their child’s needs. However, their efforts have placed them in the middle of a neighborhood spat. The family and the community builder are receiving complaints from Giesegh’s neighbors stating that the Giesegh’s ramp hurts the value of the homes in the neighborhood, even though the construction was approved by the City of Fountain, Colorado. “I mean we’re trying to do our best to assist our daughter with her daily needs to get in and out of the house,” said Vincent. “As she goes into her spastic modes, we could just tumble down the stairs and both of us could get massively hurt,” said Heidi, about the ability to access the home without a ramp. What do you think should be done to calm this situation?
