Yet Another Silly Success



Recommended Posts

we have a nice dodge durango..but for the last year or so, it was hard for me drive it....i am short so i have to scoot my seat up to the steering wheel...and my belly/girth would not let me get near the steering wheel so i had to scoot the seat back and

then i couldnt reach the pedals...but i could drive it without the seat belt and so if i did drive it, it was to the walgreens near my house and it was not very often let me tell you.

so today, my car that i drive to work (didnt start as hub said we need a new battery)

so i had to drive the durango....i was nervous because i knew i could not wear the seat belt.

i got in *prepared for the worst* and scooted the seat up to where my feet would reach and pulled the seat belt and snapped that sucker in.. i felt like a normal person..instead of the usual fat lady.

so that is my little success...nothing major....but i drove to work in my truck with my seat belt on and it fit comfortably and not cutting off my circulation....another sign that i am going in the right direction.

hope you are too.

Love your silly success stories! This is a good one. Keep them coming!

Picturing you with your nose to the steering wheel and your short little legs dangling over the seat is priceless.

But that just makes it further to the pedals! Is he going to raise them?

Good for you CG. That is a great accomplishment. We dont realize how much that kind of thing makes a difference. It's a great NSV to me to hear that from you.
