Writings about Ataxia, being DeafBlind, family life. The best life can offer!


Oh the mind – part three

… how it wanders…

I’ll keep this one short!

My intervenor came to pick me up and take me to Costco, one of the better things to do with an intervenor!

I got in her car, put my seatbelt on, then chatted about the chaos in my house at the moment. The intervenor, let it be known, keeps me sane! I’ll expand that topic later…

I’m chatting for about 10 minutes when I finally tell her to head to Costco, a typical start to an outing.

I then reach behind me to grab the seatbelt that is not there.

I’ll stop this self-humiliating right now!

… Thank you for reading!
