Forgot for a while that a nine am existed.

George and I aren't used to getting up this early. I've been letting his body be the guide, and he's pretty much been going to bed between two and six and getting up around 12-12:30. However, last night was different because we have an apoitment at the va for a test. The test is scheduled for 11, but we have to leave the house around 10, or a little after to give George time to walk, and us time to play car bingo.
Most ride share drivers are kind to us, and don't give us much trouble, but every now and again, we get a rude one who don't want to deal with George, or my wheelchair. I can put my chair in and out of a vichle, but I shouldn't have to.

I hope that you get a nice driver. Could you request the same one every time. I can’t drive and when I lived in the city I had a driver that I always requested.

Some cab companies are like that, but ride shares don't work that way. You're matched with a driver who's closest when you request the ride.

@Marilynda1225 I don't think people fully understand what they're getting into when they sign up to do ride share and become a driver. All they think about is earning money on the side and deciding when they drive or not. They don't realize that they are expected to be able to transport people, and their medicle equitment, too. I've had two different drivers complain about back problems, and one flat out said he wasn't medical transport. I want to strangle people like that.

@kaylachan at least your appointment went well. It's so sad that those drivers aren't more cooperative.

@kareng No. I got two rude ones one good one, and one telling George and I to lie to the va to have his status changed, so that he could get a paycheck.
