About Me

I am a below knee amputee. More importantly, I am also Mommy to two boys, a very active 10 year old (Robby) and an mischievous toddler (Timmy). I have learned that being a parent with a disability can create some unusual and sometimes humorous situations. This blogger is available for hire! Let's talk and learn how a blog can expand your business.

Orientation

 I spent yesterday trying to stuff my anger back into a box. In the end, I am the only person impacted by their slight and my own reaction. I need to move on. The beginning of releasing the pain is putting it where it belongs- in the past. In this situation, avoidance will be my friend.

Today is an exciting one for Robby because he is going to Shepherd to pick his classes and complete his orientation. I don't know who is more excited- him or me! I'm looking forward to hearing all about his professors and experience but I'd be lying if I wasn't transparent about my own concerns for my day's itinerary. 

While Robby is off doing student admin sessions, I am to tour the campus (again). I am happy to participate wherever required, but it is supposed to be 95 degrees today. Walking around a hilly campus, under the blazing sun in a prosthesis that is fitting 'okayish' is a recipe for disaster. I'm really hoping that there is another option because I'm certain I'm not the only parent dreading the afternoon trek in the heat. 

Regardless of the heat or the activities involved, I'm excited to accompany Robby to his orientation. He has so many new adventures ahead!
