Yes but Medicaide only pays for school and doctor appointments. We just got a local bus but I have to drive my chair to bus route. That isn't bad but if it's raining, I'm screwed. Living in Florida, you never know when it's going to rain. It's raining now actually. =-)

Subject: [QUAD-L] Transportation

 

What do you guys do for transportation? I have the unfortunate fact that 
I have OI (Brittle Bones) and that I'm a Quad (Paralyzed from the neck 
down). My parent's own a Ford conversion van with a lift that we take 
out as a family but my parents won't let my nurses drive. I take 
Medicare transportation to school and doctor appointments. That's the 
only places I can go to unless my parents drive me. I don't like bugging 
me parents. Any suggestions?
