Junkyard Dogs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781986998109)

I went to Indiana University and majored in Computer Science. I worked as a computer analyst for 20 years. I have also dealt with an incurable disorder known as spinocerebellar ataxia for the past 40 years. The doctors have told me that this disorder is permanent and will probably get worse. The only thing they can do is prescribe pain medication. In my 20s, I started having perception problems. For years, walking was difficult, so a wheelchair became necessary. At first, I said I would only use a manual chair, but now I need a power wheelchair. I am a product of a society that puts unborn babies higher on the priority list than people with disabilities. I have never been married. I don't have any children. I am on Medicaid. I must have a nurse's aide help me twice a day. I even need help getting dressed. I have not driven in 14 years. These may seem like disadvantages, but they have given me great insight into the world of people who are dependent on the handicap bus service. Delaware has a bus service called Dart, which I have used for 14 years. I will always remember the time I saw a woman getting dialysis treatment all night. Seeing her husband hug her was very memorable. Much of this book was conceived while I was swimming as long as four miles a day. I have swam in the Delaware Senior Olympics for 14 years. I don't swim as fast as most people, but I'm happy I can swim as much as I do with the strength of just one arm.
