hi Annie:

stroke teaches lot of good things to us. It teaches us patience, it teaches us to let go and trust the will of god and to believe whatever is happening in our life is for our benefit. Its hardest lessons I have learnt post my stroke but it has made me better person due to it. So sometimes even when it looks bleak, only good things comes out.

I depend on others for rides, since I can't drive (never really could due to sensory processing disorder). I totally know what it's like to have to depend on others for rides to go to appointments and such. I'm a control freak in getting to my appointments on time.

I've my share of experiences when I used to live in Indianapolis, Indiana. The bus services for the disabled was always very late and I was freaking out for being a no-show for my therapist appointments. I even set my destination a half an hour before my appointment time since they're always behind. That usually gets me in on time. I even put the destination time an hour before my appointments.

Here, the bus service is GREAT! They're so on time. I've had a couple who were late because the drivers were new and had trouble finding my house that is nestled in the woods. But it worked out just fine.
