I’m old enough to admit that when I was a little kid I watched Sesame Street almost every day.. We had three channels, and characters like Dora and little Einsteins didn’t exist. Even today sesame Street still affects me. I found this and decided it was great for a Monday Post. Monday sucks for a…
I’ve noticed every time I’m out in public that people seem to have a real fear that I’m going to run them down. Parents discreetly guard their children when I’m around. The kid has absolutely no fear of me, but the parent apparently sees me as death on wheels. As a person in a wheelchair…
Let’s get right to the truth. There are aspects of your life that are going to suck. You wake up, and your teeth are all grungy and your breath stinks. Everybody’s breath stinks when they get up. Everybody has to brush their stinky teeth. It sucks. Nobody likes to spend time doing this little task,…
I recently took my two nieces to see the minions movie. I love the movies in the despicable me franchise, I’m not ashamed to admit it. If you really want to enjoy them you have to take kids. I’m so thankful for my two nieces every day. They have changed every aspect of my life….
Confession time I play the lottery. Most of you are like yeah what’s the big deal?” I consider myself to be really smart with my money. I have to be since I’ve never had a 9-to-5 job. I talked about that in a previous post Here I have been reading a book the deals a lot with…
Dear Diary: January 3, 2013 Like millions of Americans out there who are struggling to better themselves because of the New Year’s Resolutions that they vowed to follow for this year, I too am starting my own strict physical training. By this time next year, I will be known as Super Wheelchair Man. Seriously though,…

I roll into the doctor’s office in my wheelchair, and the doctor has my chart and all of my past information. The doctor…
I have never had a 9-to-5 job, I’ll give you a few seconds to let that sink in. I love to work. I’m doing something all day everyday. I truly believe it’s what keeps me sharp. So you can imagine my confusion at 13 when I told my parents I wanted to get a job…
You know when you have that feeling like you “have to go”? You know what I’m talking about, right? Usually, you just get up and go. I don’t really get to do that. Normally, I have to wait until someone is able to help me to do that. The urge to poop can come on…
I don’t know what kind of treatment other people in wheelchairs out there get, but I can tell you a little bit of how things are for me. When I go out in public, it’s like a circus act. Everyone wants to look at me, because I’m different. I get that. But there are some…
