Robert's Story

Life Ok. well i worked for a long time and had to retire jan. 2000. I still miss work. For the most part life has been good. I have 2 kids one of each and 5 grandkids. I am on my 3rd Wife. We have been together 20 years now and she still puts up with me. I didnt complete college but did attend a few.Guess ill never know what ill be when and if i grow up. Ijust moved to Rochester Indiana and bought a old house that was built in 1860 so now i have a honey do list 4 miles long. I realy should have paid more attention to the movie "Money Pit". Well as you all know its been a long time since high school. And to think i have never heard from anyone that i went to school with.Not that it bothers me . I spend alot of time reading about others that we went to school with and finding out what they have been doing. who wrote Steel Magnolias? ok now its 2007 didnt think id live this long but only the good die young so ill behere forever. jut found out we are going to get another grand baby oh how i love to spoil them. this last summer the dr informed me that i have parkinsons . well that sucks i have lots of tremors so i had to quit driving and spend about 90% of my time in a wheel chair. going to sell this old house and get a single level ranch home so i can sleep other than the livingroom. just got my 2nd power chair this one goes fast and i still flirt so watch out girls . its been 7 years since i worked and still get up wanting to go to work. last week my son helped me put in a new doorway from living room to living room this used to be a dr office he lived in part and worked in the other. it made me feel worth something for a short time. but now that it is in i'm back to doing nothing. Well things changed once again last nov which was 2007 I was invited by the gov's concil for the disabled to a conference. So off I went to see what all the talk was about. I spent 3 days in indpls and met alot of great people from all walk...Expand for more
s of life and learned a new way to spend my time . I got home and was reading thru the material that I got there and took a long hard look at my town. So I thought well there are alot of barriers in Rochester as in any city you go to.The next time you go shopping think of how you would get the box off the top shelf if you where in a chair. We now that we are a group have seen alot of good changes here. I am glad they came out with digtal cameras so I can email some of the new things going on here to the concil then maybe more people will help and this is being done not only by people with disabilities but we have what us gimpps call AB's thats a normal person helping us to win over. We help people get things like walkers and canes and wheelchairs so if any of you have some of these just sitting around please drop them off to us we need all we can get. just call 574-835-4472 and I will give you the address but I will let you know I know longer speak very well. Ok iif anyone remebers me you know I never liked school and if I could find a way out well I was gone. Can you belive that at 56 I start going back to school in Oct. I get to travel back to indy once a month foor 8 months for classes on working with a group called partners. They work with Goverment to make new ways to help the disabled.And you know I can not wait for class to start. They told me where the classes where but dummy me forgot to write it down .Glad that they have someone picking me up and bringing me home. I was wondering if any other class mates have become disabled? I would like to hear from them to see how they handle life now. Ok thinghs changed again my 3rd wife just walked out. So I sold the old house and moved back close to Indy now I live in Westfeild. Got a lady to take over my work in Rochester but also added a new place for people here. Of corse my phone numner has changed to 317-430-7423 and are working about 65 hours a week for the disabled.
