Car wreck. Two lumbar, two ribs, one fifth metatarsal all typically not operated on so long recovery.

I wish. It kept me from the protest.

Good God...

I like to cook plus I really can't afford to eat out much

I just got out of the boot last month.

It is so much fun until I chop serranos and have an itch on my face!

I wanted to go too but no caregiver to take my place

Oh goodness. Bless you and what you do.

I am glad you weren't hurt worse been in a really bad car wreck myself. Had 135 stitches and was basically scalped but could have been way worse since I was thrown from and rolled over by a 1 ton van

Caregivers have a special place in my heart. The best I have met are unbelievably caring and trustworthy.

It's hard for me to envision something I would feel strongly enough about (and figure it would make a difference) to go protest.

I am glad you are here.

Appreciate it.

That must have been a nightmare.

Still have issues 20+ years after the fact

I think that is more common than people think. It’s hard to predict long term issues down the road right after a wreck and if things are not obviously wrong they get overlooked.

Don’t judge me. I don’t like going places alone and would have to find someone to go with me.

Agreed

more fun to go with someone

I probably would have found a family of five once there and clung to them.

rent a room with a family?

That was another thing. I didn’t want to go and not have anywhere to stay or freak out because I didn’t know anyone and I would have to carry a chair with me and I didn’t want to explain that my back is broken. Having one person would have been worth it.

Tf you going to do with a public transportation bus?

Ride it to dc protests.

I want to convert one of those buses into like a place to live ..

But I can't drive a bus legally.

busses are expensive

That's a government surplus bus.

and space is tight like a boat... or mini house

My boss has like a Mercedes van RV...

How hard would it be to get a license for it

That's pretty cool.

You take a written test and get a CDL permit...

But then the driving part is with the actual truck that requires a CDL or bus or whatever...

Hire a driver/valet/PA. I like where you're going with this.

I was thinking about just hiring a driver to drive it to where it's going..

Then you have to figure all that crap out...

Nothing's ever easy...
