Transportation Snags
Monday, June 16, 2008 –10:30 A.M. I have medical appointments on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Reservations for transportation are supposed to be made from one to three days in advance. Due to problems with their phone system, I was unable to reach the transportation agency from yesterday afternoon until half an hour ago! After waiting on “hold” for 36 minutes, I got someone who took down my entire pick up and drop off information, and scheduled my return trip. We ran into a problem when I gave her the address where I needed to go. She said her computer said there was no such street as the name of the one I had given. I said I had been going there for almost six months. To make a long story short, I did mistakenly give the wrong address. Before that got cleared up entirely, we were disconnected. I did not know what to do since I did not want to be put on “hold” for another half hour or more. Just as I was thinking about this, the phone rang – it was the transportation agency calling me back. It was good luck that they had my phone number. I have my fingers crossed that everything is set up right. I will find out tomorrow morning. My back has started hurting again, so the only thing I plan doing today is to get some rest. Quotes for Success: “Part of success is preparation on purpose.” Jim Rohn

Today\'s quote is wicked wicked.
Jim, do you ever just laugh when this crap happens to you? It\'s almost unbelievable. I can\'t wait for you to feel stronger. I imagine you must feel the same way.
How is the wheelchair issue? The same? I know you had it adjusted, which only made it worse.
I am so glad they called back. Maybe it\'s a sign things are getting better. I hate to hang on to hope when it\'s so easily crushed, so don\'t hang on to it yourself. I have tremendous hope for you and I will carry it for you right now.
Does insurance ever cover alternative therapies? Is there any way to get reiki or massage? I know most physical therapists can also do those treatments. Have you ever tried those?

I have never tried alternative therapies, although there have been a few times I\'ve discussed the possibilities with my doctor. Most of the time it boils down to the question of insurance coverage.
It is still too soon for me to tell if the new adjustment to my wheelchair seat helped much. With that change coinciding with my change in physical therapy, things just seem to be a blur.
