Really Spring already? I'm sorry i love the winter way too much.
Today has been a really good day!
Billy had a couple of appointments for his wheelchair today.
ADVICE FOR THE DAY: Don't get a Invacare wheelchair, the biggest piece of crap EVER!
Billy got this chair April 29th 2011, [yes! i remember the date] by the next week we were already having problems.
Almost 3 years later. lets make a list of everything that is wrong
- Foot straps
- head rest
- Both side laterals are gone
- arm rest won't stay on
- joy stick has a recall
I can't count how many times i have fought with our wheelchair company & insurance to get repairs.
it's ridiculous!
OSU was amazing today and Dr. Kim really listened to us and took notes on each thing.
Thursday, we have another appointment with them and someone from our wheelchair company will be having a meeting with us & Dr. Kim to get everything figured.
Wish they would just do away with this chair completely and set Billy up in a brand new one.
But, the insurance says every 5 years :(
Earlier tonight i had a girls night with one of my best friends and we roamed Columbus and relaxed by the river.
Of course we had to take pictures
Soo without further ado...

I collected hub caps in my younger years. Here recently I was strolling my wheelchair down Fifth Avenue in the short north area of Columbus, Ohio. Those who are familiar with the area would tell you that Fifth Avenue is a rather busy road. As I was rolling down the sidewalk of the road, along came one of the nicest Mercedes Benz's I had ever seen. It was bright white with tented windows, what appeared to be twenty-plus inch rims, a great interior, it was nice and shiny, and it appeared to be brand new. Well, as it rolled past me, one of those fancy hub caps fell off of one of the tires and landed against the curb on the side of the road. The driver of the car just kept on zooming forward. I stayed around for a while to see if she would come back to look for it so that I could point out where it was for her. After about five minutes passed, she still hadn't come back to retrieve it. I didn't think much of it and just proceeded to go about my day. After I got a little ways down the road I thought wow, this is a lot like life. Often times we get hung up on loss, or set backs, or things that seem to just fall apart. But like this driver, don't let small things hold you up and keep you from getting where you're trying to go in life. If you have a dream and something seems to be holding you back from it, just keep moving forward. Keep fighting to live another day and keep rolling on. You are preordained to achieve greatness, and the more you believe it the more set backs you will overcome. - Billy George
