NOT COOL Stuff #1

This NOT COOL stuff is not in any order.  It’s just me acknowledging that something is NOT COOL when it happens to me.  I have owned my house for a little over 4 years.  I wasn’t completely dependent on my wheelchair when I bought the house as I am now.  I’ve had 3 contractors come to the house and tell me that the only feasible solution is new construction.  I can’t afford that!  I’m a teacher and a single Mom!  My son was able to get me into the house but we are having difficulty getting me into the house now when it is just the two of us (MOST times it IS just us two).  It’s understandable because I still outweigh him by like 30 pounds.  I usually fall backward on him but this time he was able to shimmy out.  I told him to get my phone and call my Mom.  He agreed and told me that first, he was going to take pictures of me. I told him “No” because the Lions game was going to start but what could I really do in this situation?!  Nothing!  So I chose to laugh.  I missed 10 minutes of the game because of this!  They won anyway.   My Mom got to our house and was able to get me back into my chair.
