Hi,

Back in September of 2000, while one of my
attendants were driving, I grabbed the steering
wheat trying to cause an accident because I
didn't want to live anymore.  As I recall
correctly , I don't want to leave the house that
day.  I had a hair appointment that day.  My
attendant knew I wasn't feeling well , so , after
my hair appointment , we drove around and we went
to her house.

Well , a half of week later , HomeWard Bound ,
The agency where I get my attendants from , and
my social worker came out , and they said that my
attendants couldn't transport me anymore unless
there were two of them.  Well , I don't have the
money for that.  So , they suggested the
Commission On Aging bus and other activities.  I
like that , but they aren't my age.

I have been having problems with one of my
attendants , calling in making excuses not to
work that day with little advance notice.  One
more time , then she is history.

How can people with Cerebral Palsy , that can't
walk , talk , take themselves to bathroom , etc
live alone?
