chair is just for convenience.. CAN'T YOU PEOPLE SEE THIS?!

i went to the courage center without my walker because for the past few weeks, i've been using my walker instead of my wheelchair because the piece of shit battery charger for my wheelchair broke. so i had to basically use my walker, because my wheelchair charger was broken until last friday when my wheelchair vendor (reliable) came to my apartment and finally fixed the charger because i didn't have any charge in my chair because the wheelchair charger was broken (so i couldn't charge it). well, the chair had ran outta battery power coming home from the grocery store sometime (i think) last week when i was coming back from the grocery store and the woman that pushed me home, brought me a walker (which i had been using). when i was using my walker, a lot of people at the courage center had been nagging me saying that i should've started using my walker sooner because i was doing so well with it and things like i should be using my walker instead of my wheelchair in the first place. then reliable came on friday and fixed my charger, so i could use my chair again, so i used that. then, this morning i decided that i wanted to try to walk independently (because my pool therapist and my physical therapist had even told me that i didn't need a walker or anything else to aid me in walking). so.. when the medical transportation van driver came, he called me and i asked him to come up to my apartment because i was going to try to walk independently without my walker or using my wheelchair. he actually came up and just held my hand (in case i fell, tripped, or something) and helped me down to his van. then he drove me to the courage center, i went to the courage center, when i went to the fitness center, i expected kevin to be more encouraging in seeing me walking independently. kevin said to me right away, "WHOA! STAC! WHERE'S YOUR CHAIR?!" then i said without laughing, "i flew in here." then i rolled my eyes, then he said, "well.. you could've." then i said, "no, i walked in here." then at the end of our session, he said that i had to sign a piece of paper for fuckin liability bullshit. he said that, "i'm your biggest fan. i'm the one who pushes you most from here. i'm not trying to keep you back." then i said, "i don't even see the point in me practicing walking, if you're never gonna let me walk in the first place when it comes down to it." then he said, "well, you can't just jump from a wheelchair to walking right away." then i said, "yeah.. see.. this is why i wanna move to new york.. because you're like EVERYONE else around here who assumes they know my situation before they even know it. you just assumed that i jumped from a wheelchair into walking on my feet right away." then he said, "THEY'RE GOING TO BE LIKE THIS IN NEW YORK TOO. why? when have you walked on your feet other than here?" then i said, "I WALK UP AND DOWN MY HALLWAY FOR A HALF AN HOUR EVERY DAY WITHOUT ANYTHING ASSISTING ME. MY PCA JUST WALKS NEXT TO ME, TO MAKE SURE THAT I DON'T FALL OR ANYTHING. I'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS ALREADY BUT YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING WHEN YOU ASSUME THAT I JUST JUMP FROM A WHEELCHAIR TO WALKING RIGHT AWAY." i don't have the patience for his or anyone else that's gonna try to say shit like he tried to say when he made that assumption about me by holding me back from making any progress. i don't see a point in kevin making me get a paper saying that the courage center isn't liable if i fall because i'm not gonna fuckin sue them if i fall or get hurt, if i have to sign it, everyone else that goes there should have to sign it. i'm not sure if they're just being dicks because of my past and i had to sue someone to get my compensation from my car accident (BUT NOTHING COULD PAY ME BACK FOR EVERYTHING THAT I'VE LOST). then we got kathy's lying ass claiming that i didn't give her my aunt's contact information, so she can't finish my application for housing in new york because she needs it to ask my aunt some questions. I GAVE HER MY AUNT'S PHONE NUMBER LAST SATURDAY THE DAY THAT SHE ASKED ME FOR IT, SHE NEEDS TO STOP FUCKING LYING TO MAKE HERSELF NOT LOOK LAZY.
