Got the handy-van yesterday. It is amazing. The hydraulics that lower it when the ramp comes out is very cool. Everything is automated, except the straps to tie my chair down, but those tighten themselves down. My son's car seat is right next to me, so I get to interact with him as we travel (though he likes to kick my chair... good with the bad).
Making some small cards to inform those who park in the loading zones of the disabled parking spots that I have called the police on them and taken a photo of their car with my phone. The fine is pretty hefty in FL, but is used to be much more.
The thing in my side still hurts, but it is not a lymph, so it is either a cyst or tumor. I try to think cyst, but I get them and none of them hurt. I also have developed kidney stones... like my back did not hurt enough already.
I am truly blessed to have the family and support structure that I have. Most in my position would not have the home and now transport that I do. It is so hard to remain positive sometimes, pain is hard on one that way, but I do know it and try to keep it in mind. I am in love with my wife and love my son... but am very lonely for friends. When I got sick, people just kinda' stopped coming over. I know it is hard to see someone in pain, it is uncomfortable, I do not blame them.
