Woohoo !!! I received my notification today that the local but company approved my application for temporary use of their bus service for the handicapped and elderly. Ordinarily I would not qualify for the service, even though I am elderly and have a disability, as I drive my own car. But in March I will have cataract surgery on my eyes and the doctor told me I could not drive myself to the surgery. The medication I will receive during the surgery will make me very drowsy and therefore, someone else must pick me up and take me home.
In addition, as I need another appointment the following day for a check-up and will have a patch on my eye I will again need someone to drive me to the doctor’s office. And two weeks later I will have the same surgery and same appointments again for my other eye. That means I will be making eight trips to the clinic and need to ask eight friends to assist me.
Several of my dear friends have already offered to drive me, but I hate to impose on people. So a few weeks ago, I contacted the para transit office to request their service. I could use a cab but the bus only charges a few dollars. As I was filling out the application, I wondered if they would approve my request. And so, I was pleased today to receive the good news.
