On our vacation this month, we went through Missouri, Kansas, Idaho, Utah, Nebraska, Wyoming, Oregon, Montana and Washington (might have left one off).  We had to stop many times for bathroom breaks, gas breaks or, on the way back, letting kitty go to the bathroom breaks (yes, we brought home a kitten).  We did fairly [...]]]></description>

A while ago I wrote about my frustration with people who pull their cars in next to my mother’s rampvan, after watching her come down the ramp and knowing she would need to use it again (see that article here).  My experiment involved buying three bright orange traffic cones (I bought these) and putting [...]]]></description>

One of the most useful (and expensive) pieces of equipment in Mom’s life with ALS is our Toyota Sienna rampvan.  It happily transports her and her motorized wheelchair wherever she wants to go, so long as there aren’t any speed tables.  Or large bumps.  Or some small bumps for that matter.  I appreciate the thing [...]]]></description>

My mother has ALS. If you don’t know what that is, it is essentially a disease that destroys your motor neurons and causes your muscles to become completely ineffective. As a result, when she leaves the house, she uses a motorized wheelchair and goes around town in a rampvan.
My first aggravation is people who park [...]]]></description>
