Eigude Shame III

As a wheeler you shouldn’t get upset any more when tormented, stressed, overworked, outcast from society, pitiable pedestrians keep the disabled parking places with their cars dry for wheelers. These parking places are also excellently suitable for placing bulky waste.

Seen today, sad but true:

Two out of four designated disabled parking places

blocked with

Recycle Bins

in the courtyard of the department of the

Commissioner for the Disabled of the city of Frankfurt.

Thank you Frankfurt, great example!

Handicap Parking Part II

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Frontpage

Wonders will never cease!

Addendum to blogpost Handicap Parking Part I from 02.02.10
(see older blogpost)

Upon enquiry at the road traffic department they explained that
in spite of the signs

Absolute stopping restriction

I am allowed to park my car on the

disabled parking place designated for me even without handicap label.

In the meantime my disabled parking permit expired.
Hardly to believe, isn’t it? Once again the whole administration work.

When my car stood on my parking place the first 2 days in the year 2010 the storm hit us beginning of March!!!
My two favourite signs fell over and missed my car by around 10 cm.
That was close…
In retrospect:
The sign could have hit a car of my neighbours who always kept my parking place dry.

On Friday 19.03.2010 my parking place was finally labelled.

I would like to point out that I don’t blame the road traffic department of Frankfurt.

I will keep you posted about the number of the future compulsory relocated cars away from my disabled parking place.

Tetrapack II

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

There is a football god after all!!!

I have reported in one of my first blogposts how another Eintracht Frankfurt football fan I didn’t know gave me his 17 year old

yellow Tetrapak Eintracht Frankfurt football shirt
(see older blogpost)

, which I was looking for.
As if I had anticipated it, I decided on Saturday 2 hours before kick-off of the match

Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich

to call my cousin to watch the match with him live on TV. I should mention that at this time Bayern Munich was unbeaten for the last 19 matches, and my cousin and I had endured the 0:4 home match loss against these Southern Germans half a year ago in the stadium.
Well then, my cousin had told his colleague my story with the yellow Tetrapak football shirt, whereupon he gave him a couple of weeks ago his old

red Tetrapak football shirt

for me.
Heaven only knows why Stefan came as well yesterday of all days to watch football with us.
Eintracht played great.
Within the last 4 minutes they could turn the 0:1 score with two goals and sent Bayern home with

2:1

The photo was made before the match.

It shows the girlfriend of my cousin, Stefan and me.

Handicap Parking Part I

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Frontpage

After I had proven my ability to drive with hand throttle in front of the technical control association and my hand throttle customized car had been delivered mid December I applied for a

personalised disabled parking place.

This worked out extremely fast.
At this point thanks to the staff of the road traffic department of the city of Frankfurt. Within a few days the corresponding sign was placed and the parking place roughly labelled, because at that time another car was parking there.

I was assured that the

Handicap label

on the street would be fixed later on.

At this time constantly other cars were parking on my parking place. I was appreciative because the sign is only visible well from one side, and these morons were parking against the driving direction. Well…

In the year 2009 I stood one single time on my disabled parking place.

On December 28th the road traffic department put two signs up

Absolute stopping restriction due to labelling work

to keep the place free so that the missing street labelling could be accomplished.

This meant for me to keep my parking place free.

On New Year’s Eve 2009/10 I unapologetically stood boozed without displayed parking permit in the

absolute stopping restriction zone.

This was the first and so far only time that I was standing on my parking place in 2010.
And even without a car, therefore under survey of an employee of the German disaster relief organisation (THW).

Then the snow arrived…

It is clear that the guys are busy with other things than my labelling.

From the deep of my heart I would like to thank the traffic participants who ignored the signs from the beginning out of altruism only.
The asphalt of my parking place is continuously kept dry for weeks by parking their cars above so that the labelling can be completed as soon as possible.

Which other reason should they have???

This might get funny.

Do I need a permanent line to the police?

Tell me your experiences…

If the current signs are not interesting anybody I should look for a small armoured tank with hand throttle.
With this I could then stand on the cars.
Drive defensively, drive a tank.

FuĂźballticket auf Rezept

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009


Wir rollstuhlfahrende Großstädter können unseren aufstauenden Emotionen nicht freien Lauf lassen.
Durch die enge Besiedlung der Städte sind wir gezwungen,
emotionale AusbrĂĽche wie,

Lautes Schreien und das Werfen von Gegenständen!
(außer Wattebällchen)

in unseren Wohnungen zu unterdrĂĽcken.
Dies hat den Hintergrund, dass kein Nachbar jemals mehr zu Hilfe käme, wenn man wirklich ernsthafte Schwierigkeiten hätte,
wie zum Beispiel nach einem ungewollten

Rolli- Bodentransfer.

In den Praxen der Psychologen, wird man angehalten, ruhig zu bleiben und

In sich zu gehen!

Das soll mir mal jemand erklären, wie ich das als Rollifahrer bewerkstelligen kann.

Es ist zum:

Aus der Haut Fahren!!!

ZurĂĽck zum Kernpunkt:

Um die aufgestauten Emotionen kontrolliert abzubauen, gibt es zwei Möglichkeiten:

Eine/en Freund/in fragen, ob er/sie einen in den Wald fährt (da dort nicht so viel Polizei unterwegs ist), um mal so richtig

Abzuschreien.

Man sollte jedoch bedenken, dass Rotwild und Bären angelockt werden könnten.

Die zweite und erheblich ungefährliche Methode besteht mit dem Besuch einer der häufig stattfindenden Sportveranstaltungen.
Prädestiniert hierfür ist der Besuch von

FuĂźballspielen

Es ist völlig unerheblich, was der Patient schreit, es interessiert im Stadion sowieso niemanden. Hauptsache laut und kein gegnerischer Fangesang.
Privatpatienten* erhalten angeblich den Besuch von

1. Bundesliga Spiele

schon seit Jahren auf Rezept.

Diese Alternativtherapie sollte generell im Hilfsmittelkatalog der Krankenkassen aufgenommen werden. Sie ist erheblich kostengünstiger, als der Verbrauch von 50 kg Wattebällchen im Monat.

*Die Privaten Krankenkassen bezahlt fast alles:
Z.B. eine „Rollihängebahn“ für das Treppenhaus,
oder in absurden Sonderfällen angeblich auch mal einen
„Senftenrolli“
mit zwei Edelstahlrohren auf den KotflĂĽgeln,
um durch diese, die Bambusstöcke durchschieben zu können. smilie_crazy

Tetrapack I

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Frontpage

We quadriplegics (or: tetraplegics) name ourselves among each other “Teddies” or sometimes “Tetra Pack”. Because I am football fan of Eintracht Frankfurt I remembered that Eintracht promoted around 1995 “Tetra Pak” (translator’s note: trademark of a beverage carton) on their football shirts. These football shirts were at that time exceptionally in bright yellow.

To cut it short: I was in need for such a shirt!!!

But how do you get a more than 10 year old football shirt which was quite rare even at that time because most of the fans prefer the traditional Eintracht colours red and black. I hate it when somebody tells me what they flogged in Ebay and how they boosted the price. It’s normal, you will hear.
The Ebay results were poor.
I have then started my football shirt search in various fan forums.
The feedback was remarkable!
Unfortunately almost all offers were black-red football shirts.
Nobody told me which price they had in mind what I am usually used to!!!
I was stunned.
Should it be possible that nobody tries to rip me off this time?
It is unbelievable, but another Eintracht fan has not only given his as good as new yellow football shirt as a present to me, but didn’t even want to have the postage refunded.
His comment: I will give the football shirt to you for free if I can do you a favour with this. Regarding the money, I don’t want anything for the shirt or the postage. But maybe we meet some time at a match, then you can pay for the half-time beer :-)
I was really happy!
I had to mention it, it helps more than any of my other 12 pills.
