Shotgun!

We get to add another checkmark on Ben's recovery list, he's offically driving again. Well, driving at a top speed of 15 mph on his way to the Great Clips within walking distance of our house. But hey, it's driving right? The hardest part was finding a spot to put his wound vac. It's a picky little machine that has to be upright at all times, and given that it's connected to Ben with a tube and a whole lot of sticky sheeting, you want to make sure that it's someplace where it's not going to suddenly fall over and land out of reach.

All in all, a successful adventure for today. And, I'm thrilled to hand over the keys. I like to drive, really, I do. But, I also like to stare out the window at houses, architecture and the landscape and frankly, driving really gets in the way of that.

Next mission, see if Ben can get in to his tiny little Civic. That should be fun to watch ;)
