Day 822

I want friends– that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s  5 : 19 PM on day 822 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,feed myself toast and baked beans for breakfast, practice typing with both hands,  publish my Disability of the Day feature,  play board games with my sister and her friends and feed myself pizza for lunch.

This morning two of my sister’s friends came over seeing the three of them together made me wish I had friends when I go to parties and stuff some people say their obligatory hellos and return to their group of friends and those that do stick around become so consumed with helping me that we have don’t get an opportunity to interact one human being to another so instead of forming a mutually beneficial friendship we end up forming a nurse-patient relationship and it’s not like I can say stop helping me because then I would be perceived as being rude it’s really sad I wish people could see the person behind the wheelchair that I try to show them maybe then I would a chance to make friends. Do you have the kind of friends that you want?
