Out and About

Today John and I along with the recreation planner and the OT went to the bus depot.  A couple of others were supposed to go as well but ended up in the hospital instead.  At the depot they had a couple of buses set aside for us to practice getting on and off as well as manouevring into the spots for wheelchairs and seeing how the tiedowns work.  John managed to get both on and off the bus which is pretty amazing considering how tight the space is.  I also managed to get him on the bus without going over an edge.  Another important aspect was to see which of the two wheelchair spots works best for John's chair.  The Handydart works great but managing on the bus means we could do something at the last minute if we wanted.  John was pretty tired afterward.  Please pray that we will use the time we have wisely.
