Day #1 Of A New Beginning

Yay, I feel like I have had a new beginning.
Today was my first day of having a personal assistant. I'm finally glad that I no longer really have to struggle with trying to do practically everything myself- like laundry and making my bed. I don't really know, however, if I'm always going to have the same PA. I just know that someone is going to come help me a few times a week, which makes me very ECSTATIC! This is something that I have been wishing for for a really long time. It was such an enjoyable experience, getting to share knowledge of the challenges having cerebral palsy, having epilepsy, and being legally blind present me all at the very same time. I also found out that- well, the lady who comes to spend time helping me a couple afternoons a week also has two dogs.
By today just being the very first day of having a personal assistants- two personal assistants, really, it was a chance for them to get to know me- as well as me getting to know them. However, whether or not the two PAs I had today are going to be my regular PAs for the remainder of this school year is uncertain to me at this point. Whether I'll have new PAs next year is also quite unclear right now.
Today, my afternoon PA helped me do laundry, which was awesome. She came to meet me as I was returning from school, which was quite surprising. I thought that I probably wouldn't have any help this afternoon, as the woman who came this morning is the person who usually hires PAs, and she told me that she really wasn't sure she'd be able to get someone to come help me this afternoon- as it was such short notice that she, herself, had received my case. Well, I'm really glad someone was actually able to come this afternoon after all.
