Damn shut in's always got the angles. Ok I guess I need to explain. From about 6 AM to 11-12 PM I sit in a wheelchair. The rest of the time I toss and turn in bed. Don't sleep much!!
Remember the dragging anatomical part? Well hell, you would drag to if your legs were missing from, oh lets say the balls on down!! Can I say that? Probably get some note from some old biddy saying how insulted she is. Hell I never said anybody had to read this stuff. It's supposed to be therapy for me.
Now if that wasn't enough my left arm is gone from the shoulder. But the worse part is I'm missing my friggin pinky on my right hand. So yeah people thats a freakin wheelchair hanging out my butt!
Funny the DMV can't seem to figure that out.
Now, don't get me wrong. This ain't so bad once you get use to it. So back to the shut in thing.
My wheelchair cost something like $26000 dollars. Which is a lot of money!! Lucky for me Medicare helps out. Now I'm not complaining, I tried skateboards and believe me wheelchairs are a lot easier on the ass, but the way Medicare looks at things a wheelchair only needs to get the disabled person around his or her house. They don't care if it gets stuck outside.
Now I live in a desert, you know where it gets HOT like the rest of the country been doing lately. Last year I got stuck in triple digit temps 7 times. Once in my own back yard and the fire department had to rescue me. So far this year only 3 times stuck. But as I said I don't get out much!
Anyways, I'd like to have an outdoor chair but those who make rules in Washington don't think I should go out! And although I did once consider selling my "services" it would take a lot of nickels to come up with that $26 grand amount.
More to follow..............

Dave running a blog.
Wow.
I dont think you understand this internet thing...you are supposed to NOT tell them the truth, gimpy!
"I am built like Vin Diesel and I make 450,000 a month from my investments alone." See, doesn't that make you feel better?
No?
Hmm, me neither.
I would like to see this thing grow some. A daily tidbit into the bent mind of a guy like you could be a good thing.
I might even comment now and then...and now...and...now what were we talking about?? Damn this short term memory loss!
You need to MOVE to VA!
Get out of that dry tinderbox and come east, old man!
:)
How about some pictures of you and the mutt?
