Work is going well, they offer employees training classes and I have been taking a job coaching classes to help the blind and handicapped get work. I finished the classes last month, so now Monday through Wedsday I pick up and drop off clients who have appointments in our low vision clinic. In between I return defective items to their manufactures and help out in the low vision clinic. On Friday I job coach and attend training sessions. This Friday I will be helping a disabled wheelchair client who works in a retirement community in their activity department. I am also taking pt on Tuesday nights and Thursday afternoons and I am a member of the Buffalo Athletic Club, which has several clubs around the city. It feels so good to help and meet new people that sometimes I forget that I am disabled myself.
This January 15 will be the two year anniversary of the passing of my Mary Jo, who died of cancer at 45 years old. We were together for over 14 years through the good and bad times. We often talked a lot about life and to live it to its fullest. It was her wish for me to move on after she passed and to not let my stroke and her passing stop me from living life. I know she would be delighted by what I have done and the progress I have made in the last two years. In the past four years, I had a stroke, lost my girl to cancer, started a new career, learned to live life to the fullest and have fun again. Life is great.
