Mile-High Adventure

My parents and I had a road trip to see the Interrupters at Red Rocks in early September. You may remember that I'm a huge Interrupters fan! They were opening for Sum 41. Here are some of the highlights from my latest road trip. "No matter how far I run" Red Rocks accessibility and the… Continue reading Mile-High Adventure

Concert Road Trip!

Yes, I am someone who loves The Interrupters so much, that I actually put off getting pins out of toes and cast off for a whole extra week so that I did not miss seeing the Interrupters in Green Bay, WI! Road TRIP! Last Thursday, my parents and I drove across Wisconsin and saw The… Continue reading Concert Road Trip!

There will be sorrow

Saw the surgeon last week to talk about what’s next for my toes. Essentially, my muscle tone can get so strong that it’s bending and curving my toes on my right foot. I had surgery for both of my big toes about 6 years ago for this. The plan is to have a surgery where… Continue reading There will be sorrow

Seven weeks ago, I started to feel pain in my right little toe. I have athetoid cerebral palsy and that does mean I bump toes into equipment and stuff so thought I maybe just wacked it on something. But, it’s only gotten worse and is now at a constant six out of ten pain scale.… Continue reading Toe-mageddon 2: The sequel

Somerset Amphitheater & the Outlaw Music Festival: “I’m MELTING!”

 For those of you folks who love the Wizard of Oz, this quote is the literal interpretation of Friday’s Outlaw Music Festival in Somerset, Wisconsin. This goes out to Live Nation and the Somerset Amphitheater for the embarrassing accessibility conditions. I know that outdoor music festivals in the summer are risky and you don’t know… Continue reading Somerset Amphitheater & the Outlaw Music Festival: “I’m MELTING!”

“Love these skies I’m under”

I love Mumford and Sons and there is a line in Hopeless Wanderer that is perfect for this post: “I will learn to love these skies I’m under.” This is a start of a quartet of posts about transportation in England and Ireland. This is the skies post. The next two posts will be related… Continue reading “Love these skies I’m under”

Voyage on – what worked well on my England travels

This is brilliant! Caregiver tickets for free! Personal Care Assistants or caregiver tickets to everything we went to from concerts to AFC Wimbledon to museums were free. This was also the case when we went to Toronto about 5 years ago. So, England, Ireland, and Canada have this figured out! We do NOT have it… Continue reading Voyage on – what worked well on my England travels
