thread is way up and I have not been around much, so I decided to post here instead...

hope everyone is headed to a nice weekend, I am counting the days to our short vacation to Colorado next week, just the two of us.... should be AWESOME

 
?????

I read your full Weekend SIx, and was going to reply but had to logout quickly - why did you delete it?

I am amazed, in complete awe of everything you will be doing even in so much pain and discomfort.... I would never be able to face it all...

I hope it all goes smoothly for you, and you should ask for help and accept all the help you can get!

 
Because on my way home I got an accident on the bus

I got assaulted by a man in a wheelchair who ran over my injured ankle and foot and I just felt like everything went to shit, a friend rescued me, I had to cancel all my weekend plans, life is just really sucky. My silly post about trying to stay positive and optimistic is such crap, it's not working.

 
I am soooo sorry....

not even sure what to say...

I wish more people had read what you wrote before, and particularly now could all come and give you a huge virtual hug


Life sucks sometimes, and there's no other way to put it.

Can I offer you a hug??????

 
Heather, I'm so sorry. You've had such a run of bad luck. Sending lots of hugs and good thoughts

your way. I'm so sorry you have this set back but hopefully you'll over come it quickly. Thinking of you. Please don't give up on hope and optimism.

 
Want me to punch him for you? I've got a car and a disabled placard & not afraid to use it!

Seriously, I can drive up tomorrow if you need me to. I know how completely discouraging it can be stuck not being mobile. smileys/frown.gif

I felt like Blanche DuBois saying "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."

The thing I've had to try and wrap my head around is, if someone asked me and I was healthy...it would be no big deal to help out. However, when you are the one doing the asking, and knowing you really need the help, well that's when it gets all weird/hard to ask and all that. Just remember to them, it's not nearly as big a deal as it is to you. Oh and your boss was being an unprofessional ass.

(((Big hugs to you)))

PS
Have you looked into those Outreach cars? I signed up/was accepted. I never used them because afterwards I found out they wouldn't lift my wheelchair down one step (even if I wasn't in it). Should be cheaper than cabs.

 
((((Heather)))) I don't know what else happened but you're

smart and strong and you can get through this girl!

 
Thank you all for your encouragement.

I'm feeling a lot better today, I'm bruised and sore but I don't think he damaged mr beyond that. I have an interview to determine if I can get paratransit in 2 weeks and I hope they approve it. Some friends encouraged me to start a Gofundme page and in 2 days many kind people donated so I can take taxis and rideshare cars for a few weeks. It's really hard to ask for help because I live alone and my family isn't here anymore, but then I found that my family of friends won't let me feel alone. I'm so humbled right now. Your support here means the world and I thank you. I'm sorry about swearing in my post too btw.

 
Thanks for the tip about Outreach, they're only in the Santa Clara valley

and I checked in with what is available here in SF and it's just the Paratransit and I've got an eligibility interview in 2 weeks. Trying to be positive, their information says just because you're disabled doesn't mean you are eligible for Paratransit. So grateful I have a little money now for taxis until this gets decided.
