Boxs

📦Just so everyone knows if you would like to help out to mail boxes I found out for sure that the new boxes will cost about $19 each to mail📦

📦With the new boxes it's a flat rate so it will be about $19 for each box

Help.....

🍪Hey everybody have a big favor to ask I have a new project that I want to work on for Misty's keychains but to do this I need a donation of cookie cutter shapes can be any shape

I got a donation of modeling clay so I figured it would be a new and fun craft to put in the boxes

But since my hands don't work very well I figured the easy way for me to use this modeling clay is to use cookie cutters and then I would just paint the shapes with my own design so if anyone's willing to donate some cookie cutters to Misty's keychains for this project please go ahead and do so otherwise we will just wait until we are able to purchase some on our own

New stuff

Okay so someone out there will be proud of me I just ordered a new set of pans a new set of Tupperware and a new set of knives and then I went ahead and ordered some new crafty stuff for Misty's keychains and some more butterflies for my bathroom..... when I checked the checkout button I'm probably going to regret this purchase but honestly I need the new pans because I keep burning stuff so I'm just going to be okay with this purchase and go ahead and push the buy button

Feeling.....

I wheeled out of therapy today feeling very discouraged.... they feel that since I'm not taking the opportunity and doing pool therapy that there's not much more they can do for me therapy wise at the clinic which I think is ridiculous

I'm just not willing to take the chance on switching my insurance to make this work because the be honest we don't know if it'll work and right now everything is covered that I need so to me that's just too much of a risk to even think about doing it if we don't even know for sure that it would be covered

So I'm finishing up my commitment with them which I have two more sessions of therapy left and then I'll finish out the winter and go back to the club when it is warm enough... I have no desire to be somewhere where I'm just a number or an object I want to be somewhere where I'm a person and people love to have conversations and they give me more credit where credit is due

That's the way I want to be treated

I hate when people assume that the worst is going to happen when it hasn't even happened.... it drives me nuts when people try to push something on to a person when they haven't even use something like that before in there whole entire life... I'm just not that kind of person and I don't want to be around those kinds of people

I learned very quickly this afternoon that these people that I've been working with for 2 months quite honestly do not see me as a person..... just because I sit in something different just because at times I may look different or I may have times wear my legs and arms do things on controllably doesn't mean you can make me do something I'm not wanting to do

I'm not an object that you think you can just push around I'm a person and I deserve to be treated like one

Bus

Getting on the bus today for the first time in 2 weeks... I'm really nervous and I just hope I make it there and home again safe

I also received a call this morning from reliable Medical Supply and they told me that they received a call yesterday from Metro Bus and Metro Bus told them to send them all the paperwork and the quote for the new parts for my chair.... now this doesn't mean things will be paid for it just means that they're willing to look at all the paperwork and make a decision from there.... so I guess all I can do is hope for the best.... there's no reason for them not to pay for the repairs but you just never know so I'm one step closer to getting what I need to get my chair fixed because right now I'm still running on used parts from the shop

Happy...

Happy 2018 may it be all you hope for and more!!  Be safe.... and be kind!!!

Love Misty Dawn!!

Little Soul

Who knew that this little soul would turn into someone so beautiful and so strong and at the age of 34 she would have to deal with so much but come out on top

This little soul got told so many times that she wasn't going to be anything or make a difference in this world but yet somehow she turned into a beautiful lady and her life is still growing and changing as the days go by.... she's just waiting for her next adventure whatever it may be

Chair update

Here's an update on my chair damage

Reliable medical called me this afternoon and asked me if I heard anything from the bus company and I said no so they're taking the initiative and trying to get a hold of someone they have the estimate done and all the paperwork is ready all they need to do is send it in to get the new parts..... so now we're playing phone tag with the bus company I told reliable to give me a call if they need any more information for me or if they needed me to give the bus company and call .... reliable said they left a message with the person that they're supposed to talk to about these kinds of issues so hopefully they will give them a call back either tomorrow or sometime this week and they will keep me posted

This is stressful and overwhelming and I knew it wasn't going to be a quick fix..... this might be a weird way of looking at things but at least I have the comfort of knowing that I knew it wasn't going to be a quick fix but I have a really good company that I work with for my Chairs and other medical equipment so we are working together trying to get this resolved and hopefully it doesn't take too much longer

Sage!!!

I think she like's living with me.... she looks really comfortable

Over time....

Here's an update on my wheelchair

Jason did a full work-up on my chair just to make sure there was no other damage the frame is fine which is a big relief because if the frame was damaged that would mean I would need a whole new chair

Here is what is damaged my right motor needs to be completely replaced even the piece that the motor sits on needs to be replaced from what I understand

But the chair is driveable he fix the motor enough with parts they had in the shop just until they're able to get my new parts to put on my chair.... I'm not quite sure how long this is going to take to get my new parts because the Metro Bus has to pay for them and I still have not heard back from them Jason told me today if I do not hear back from them in a couple days to give them a call and they would see what they could do on their end so if I don't hear anything by Thursday I'm going to give reliable call and see if they can get ahold of the bus company

I'm not going to sit here and say dealing with this has been easy because it hasn't..... I don't talk about this much because I found my own way of dealing with it but a few years ago I was hit by a car and they left the scene and having this happen to me last Friday brought up a lot of emotions that I guess I was okay with putting behind me but I guess when something like this happens to you it just never goes away

I'm very grateful that I made it out both times without anything happening to myself..... both times I could has been hurt really badly but somehow I came out without any scratches except for the fact that I have problems with my chairs but let me tell you that doesn't make it any easier or any scarier my emotions have been all over the place

I guess what I'm saying is cherish what you have sitting in front of you or where you are tonight because you just never know when they can disappear

It's going to take me awhile to get back to where I was but I will I've done it before and I can do it again.... I will fully admit I'm kind of scared to get on the bus to go to my therapy appointment on Friday but I know I have to and I can do it it's just going to be really hard

Be happy with who you are and where you are today and tomorrow because it can change in an instant you never know

Have a great night my friends

Bus....

Well I called the bus company this morning and told them about issues with my chair and they informed me that they were going to check into it and call me back with more info.... Jason was just here and picked up my chair and took it to the shop so he could check out the chair fully make sure there isn't more damage than what he can see with just looking at the chair..... so as of right now the chair is at the shop having a full work up and estimate of Damage Done it's going to be sent 2 Metro Bus..... that's all I know right now hopefully the damage is not too expensive but the way it sounds I won't have to pay for any of it reliable will be sending the estimate over to the bus company so it soon as I know more I will keep you guys updated as of right now I'm using my old chair to get around hopefully that one last carrying me around

Bus...

So I've been advised by my parents and several of my friends to make sure that I contact the bus company and tell them about my ride on Friday so that in case I need major work done on my chair I get everything covered in taken care of....... this is giving me flashbacks to when I was hit by that car in 2005 and my chair got totaled but yet I survived without barely any scratches..... so Monday morning I will be giving the bus company and call to make them aware that my chair is having issues and that I'm having my chair company come out and look at it Monday afternoon.... I have a feeling that this is not just going to be a quick fix it wasn't a quick fix the first time and I don't think it's going to be this time seeing as how none of it was my fault in the first place...... just really bummed out right now that it had to happen to my brand new chair that I've been waiting forever for and now it's out of commission and I don't know for how long.... very grateful that I know I have Angels looking out for me since this happened to me once before but still gosh darn it I deserve a break

Bus.....

Well on the way home from my PT appointment we almost got in a car accident because somebody slammed on their brakes in the middle of the road needless to say I'm fine but my chair is not..... it makes a lot of noise when I try to drive it forward when I go backwards it's fine but not going forward :-(

So until Jason can get out here to look at it on Monday I'm using my old chair :-(

My brand new chair that I've only had for about a month is out of commission :-(..... this girl is really sad right now

I guess I have to be grateful that I was not hurt because I could have been had I not been buckled in and buckled to the floor

This really sucks.... something good better happen this weekend because right now I'm not in a good mood

Christmas!
