I am just getting a second to post the photos from daddy's chemo appointment at the beginning of the month. This was the first time we used Call A Bus to help him to and from his appointment. It happened to be raining cats and dogs that day so while I was out taking Boopity to school, I picked up a poncho and super sized umbrella to make sure he didn't get wet and catch a cold!

The day started off a little "iffy" as call-a-bus told my mom they were picking them up @ 12:00pm but his appointment was @ 12:00pm so that wasn't going to work. They got it straitened out and told them they'd be picked up around 11am. Since this was the first time my dad would be transported by bus, we had to figure out how we were going to help him get outside as we hadn't ever done this before. My mom and I tried putting the ramp at the front door and practicing taking the wheelchair down with one of us in it, but it was too difficult.. on top of the fact that it was raining, we quickly decided against that method.
We then tried putting the ramp on the garage steps. That was certainly a no go since it was way too steep. I then suggested we help Daddy walk down the garage steps. Because the garage has a roof, it made more sense to go that way, have the bus pull up and then wheel Daddy to the bus. This way worked for us. It was a bit scary because my dad hadn't walked up or down steps in months, but we did it!

Although there was confusion with the pick up time (going and coming home) my Dad still said he enjoyed his bus ride :)
