I’ve been hearing a lot of conflicting information about wearing a sling and driving – it’s illegal, it isn’t illegal, insurance won’t pay if an accident ensues, T-Rex drove, etc. Not wanting to risk anything and, quite frankly, not really wanting to drive, I’ve relied on others for rides. When not getting rides, I walk, despite the fact that everything I’ve read about my injury strongly advises against participating in the activity one was doing when the injury occurred. I’ve always been a bit of a rebel, so I walk anyway.
Needing a ride from MyFace for an event at Q’s place (which is definitely not within walking distance), MyFace informed me she could give me a ride, but I would need to be on my best behavior because her mother-in-law would be joining us. Ride and game on.
I was appropriate the whole way to Q’s and even provided MyFace directions so she wouldn’t get lost. As we approached the front of Q’s house and MyFace continued driving, pulled into the next door neighbor’s driveway, and placed the car in park. “Are you really going to park here?” I asked and quickly realized she didn’t think that was my best behavior. “Yes I am. Why wouldn’t I?” “Because it is the neighbor’s driveway,” I replied. I may be lame, lazy and slightly inappropriate at times, but I know one thing for sure – you never park in the driveway of someone you don’t know, that is not best behavior.
