My Life

On August twenty-second my sister had drove her car to pick me up and to drive me to a new camp up in the Berkshire. The camp was a three-hour ride for me and a three-hour drive for my sister and there were quite a few bumps in the road too. But we had arrived at camp my sister had got my wheelchair out of the back of her car, and she had wheeled my wheelchair over to me so that I could sit in my wheelchair. There were a lot of little, tiny of different rocks on the ground, so I had a very, very, bumpy ride On Tuesday, all of the campers and the counselors rode to the Clark Museum, and we had saw a lot of different kind of statues and paintings too.  On Wednesday I had been pushed in my wheelchair to the art cabin to do art with all of the other campers. Some campers were in wheelchairs, some campers were in electric wheelchairs it was all depending on their disability Every day at mealtime all of the campers and their counselors would eat in a very, very long wide dining room some day when it is hot outside everybody at camp would have cook out on the picnic tables that would be right next to the long dining room.  On Thursday I had went swimming in a great big lake. But we had to ride in some cars to a great big studio for play rehearsal a few nights.  On Friday, was the play and all of the people loved watch the play and my counselor and all of the counselors the put on the play named Mike   their teacher were so all of the people had come to the studio to watch the play that all of the campers including me and all of the counselors had put on. On Saturday August twenty-seventh me and the rest of the campers and their counselors including mine went swimming in the lake that was right near camp so some of the campers walked to the beach and the disabled campers that were in wheelchair was pushed to the lake by their counselor. So, everybody went swimming in the lake and the water felt cool that night everybody sat in a circle around a great big campfire to tell all of the other campers and the counselors what they liked doing at camp. On the next August twenty-eight my sister had drove her car to camp in lake cashmere and she had brought our mother a long for the ride too. Then they had put all of my luggage's in the car and me sister had drove all the way back to Stoneham to drop own mother at her house and then my sister had drove me home to my hos in North Reading, called the McLaughlin, house. So, when my sister had drove in the driveway, she her got my wheelchair out of the back of her car and then she had pushed me inside the Mclaughin, house in my wheelchair and my sister had put my luggage's in my bedroom too. So, when I was in my bedroom, I had typed on my web journal for a little while. Then at one o'clock a male staff person had put all of my clothe away in my draw and some of my clothe in the closet too.

On August twelve, 2022, I had woken up from my bed at six o'clock in the morning. So, a female staff person had walk into my bedroom. to help me to get myself all dress she had help me to put on my gray short paints, my Paul Macarthy short sleeve shirt, my white socks and my ankle brace and my black sneakers. So, I had wheeled to the dining room to have a bowl of cream of wheat to eat and a cup of warm coffee to drink later I had ridden in the van to home goods in Reading, There I had to stay seated in my wheelchair with my brake lock and the wheels to my wheelchair were still chained down on the van floor. But when the time was nine thirty A.M. then the RIDE drove in to the home goods parking lot in Reading,  Then the male staff person that was in the great big wide dark blue van with a got out of had driven and open the back doors then he had unchained my wheelchair and the other driver wheeled me on to his van and then had he chained my wheels to his van floor then he had dove me to me program at outside the line studio in Medford, So, the drive had drove in to the OTL parking lot at ten o'clock AM. and then the van driver had pushed me in my wheelchair up the little black ramp to the cemented patio to the OTL building. When I were pushed inside the OTL building I was pushed in the back room where I had to write a short story with some other clients it can be about anything that I what and I had a female staff person help me write me short story too. like I do on every Friday. So I had written about how on Thursday, August eleventh it was four ladies last day and the came to the McLaughlin, house to do some stretching exercises with me and the other residents that live here they will do leg lift arm curls, legs curls and late a female therapist would do some walking with me while I hold on to my hemi walker with my very, very, strong left hand just walking to a regular chair that we be against a great big round table and I would sit for a bit. Then I would walk back to my wheelchair and to the other chair and to my wheelchair again. Then I had said goodbye until it starts up again in four more weeks. At outside the line studio after I had that story all writing down, I had drawn a picture of a therapist asking me to do some stretching exercises with the TheraBand. When I had finish drawing the pictures, I then had closed the notebook. At eleven thirty A.M. I had knitted a great big scarf.  A few hours later I had rode in a van all of to the way to the home goods parking lot in Reading, at three thirty P.M. A female staff person had drove to the home goods parking in Reading, to drive me home to the McLaughlin house when I had arrived back home to the McLaughlin, house in North Reading, I had wheeled into my house and then I had wheeled back to my bedroom. Well, here I go again on Monday, August twenty second my sister Maria Russo, is driving to the McLaughlin house at eight A.M and she is going to drive me to another camp, and I cannot wait to go but it is a three-hour drive to camp. But it is not bad I can sleep in my sister's car or watch a video on my I-phone.  at camp I am going to show counselors my web site and I am going to show them what I have been doing on my web journal and I am going to paint some more and I am going swimming in the lake, and I am going to play the drums with the other people at camp too.
