Single White Cripple Seeks Competent Aide

As Krista has returned to nursing school for her fall (and final) semester, and I had no one else to take me to therapy, I missed my fourth day of therapy.

Finding a new assistant is never easy, but this time has been much more difficult -- the prospect of driving 72.8 miles (round trip) seems to be a deal breaker for most.  Can't say I blame them -- it's quite the long haul.



Beyond applicant misgivings about the driving aspect is my own apprehension about the qualifications of those who have been applying.  Where I could look beyond or work around language barriers in the past, the difficulty in communicating will be magnified by the intricacies of the therapeutic methods they will be learning in order to conduct my home-based therapy program.  I'm not quite sure what I'll do about that.

If you know of someone looking for a job as a personal assistant, please do send them my way. I can imagine there are much more interesting jobs to be had, but, I am, at the very least, entertaining.  ;)
