The grade.

      The one thing that I wanted to do with this blog was to bring to light some things that I  never thought about when I had both my legs and they both worked. One example is getting around in public, whether it be stores or just around to sight see or window shop or whatever it is I am doing. This is a point of contention for all people who are (are you ready for a little political correctness?) mobility impaired. Wheelchairers or folks on walkers, crutches or canes are to whom I refer. I will start pointing out some of the good ones and yes some of the poor ones that need some improvement. Getting in some restaurants  and stores is a bit hard if not impossible. Once you get in ,well that's but one more story to blog on ---and I will. The last thing I will report is the customer service you get while you are in these places. While the names of people that work there will not be printed, you will know who it is. I do this not to belittle, or scorn , nor do I hold any malice , I just would like to bring to light these things and maybe , just maybe I can bring some change for the good so EVERYONE can enjoy this life we have.
     I have become, since the wreck a very private person. I am introverted and I truly dislike crowds. When you are a butt level to everyone, crowds are not your friend . I don't like a lot of attention paid to me or a lot of fuss. There is probably some psychiatric diagnosis for this; but for now it is just me. So when I go into say, the grocery store, I want to get in and get out. Its not that I hate people now, its just me.  My Store of choice is our local Super One. Everything is accessible there, and the customer service is second to none. They have a female Assistant Manager there that is so helpful without being,  "Awwww, let me help the poor gimp" in her attitude. She has helped me carry stuff out as well as bagged for me ever since I started going there. Sometimes she just talks with me like a human being should.  I just like to be treated like you would ; like a regular guy because I am just a regular guy 'on wheels' ! A+ to Super one in Bastrop, La and their female Assistant Mgr.
