Decisions and the weather
Well I came to a decision it is one i have been thinking about for a long time. My husband doesn't agree with my decision but with the help with the social worker I've come to see that I cannot let other peoples feelings about me become how I see myself. Sometime between now and May as soon as I can get everything setup I'm going to go take a driver's evaluation at the rehabilitation center near us if they Say I am okay to drive I am going to start driving whether or not my husband wants me to. I feel being able to drive and do stuff when I want to do it without having to ask for rides will be a big boost for my independents. The more independent I am the bigger boost my self-confidence will get. I have wanted to try driving for over a year now but my husband didn't think I was ready. So after a while of hearing him say it over and over again I started to believe it, but no more I am ready to drive and I want to drive. As long as the rehab center feels I am ready as well and I do not see any reason not to drive. It will make getting to and from my appointments so much easier and so much less stressful. If I don't have to try and find rides for everything my stress level will be lower. I don't know if I'll ever be comfortable on the freeway again, but by using surface streets I can get everywhere I need to go it may just take a little longer. Even before the stroke I never really like driving on the freeway so it's not a big deal not to drive there again.
The weather's been teasing us here we've had a couple days in the 50s but now were expecting snow tomorrow and possibly a wintery mix and then it goes back into the 20's and 30s for next week well I guess we had our February thaw now were back into winter again it was nice while it lasted.
Were going to try and go to Auto-Rama on Friday so I hope the weather is at least clear for that day. Driving downtown in the best of weather can be hard at times with all the construction and road closures add in bad weather and it is nearly impossible sometimes.
