Hi Mari!
Yes, I have a deck that's about 12ft by 25 ft.. on the front of the house.. I helped my dad build it about 7 years ago--before I got injured. It has two small cafe tables with chairs and a nice bench. There's an umbrella that sits in the corner that shelters about 2/3rds of the deck when it's sunny out... we have a HUGE tree that provides great shade also. I like to sit out there and do nothing or read or sometimes I sit there with my laptop and play games.


Hi Friend!
I'm so sorry to hear you are still struggling. I completely understand your fears. I live with my parents and I'm waiting for them to once again tell me I need to get out on my own... this has happened quite a few times. I have done everything I can to be independent... I have applied for SSDI but like you I am still waiting... almost 2 years now. I was able to get food stamps but was denied medicaid. The state is helping me with my Tdoc and Pdoc... it's a sliding scale and I pay less than $10 a visit.


OH... My car is fixed and sitting in my parents garage. I say fixed.. it looks great, runs great... but I don't have any dash lights and my head lights are more like search light...they are pointed to the sky.

I'm not planning on going anywhere even though I have the car... It's rainy here and I am to frightened still to drive very far.
