Chapter 18 – Free at last from that dang back brace!
One day in late September, Jackie came over right after work and Jake and I were in the basement playing Video games, which is what we usually do when he gets home from school, or is not at school “oh boy there Jay, you’re a stinky little boy”
“Not I, my shit don’t stink!” I said
“OK, then it must be Jake” Jackie said
Jake started blushing and trying to act all cool “what”
“come on jake I’ll change your diaper. We need to get packed up for going to Kings Island” Jackie walked away guiding Jake with one hand and pinching her nose for dramatics with the other.
The kings island trip was kind of like a gift to me, I had finally been cleared by the doctors to take my big back brace off all the time. They said I could go to an amusement park, and that my back should handle most of the rides, but were not recommending it. I was told to stay off rides that might jerk me hard side to side.
“how did you know I had a diaper on?” Jake asked “Jay told you didn’t he” He was getting mad, cause the diaper thing was a private thing to him; me too to a lesser extent.
“No Jacob, I can tell” This worried Jake cause he thought nobody could tell he wore them “mainly cause I am used to seeing kids and people in diapers and I know what to look for. Plus I have been seeing different diapers in the diaper pail too”
“You don’t think it is wrong? I mean I actually have a baby room like Jay does at my house”
“absolutely not, what you do that makes you happy is good. You are not hurting anybody. OK, All done, now go send Jay in” she got me in her claws and diapered me up; we loaded the van and we were off. Jake was diapered up the whole way down, and Jackie informed him that he would wear to the park as well. She would have let him be a big boy if he had protested (I think).
We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge, they had a wonderful tree house suite, luckily I was able to get around the suite too. The next morning we went to the park and had a blast.
“Hey I guess this chair does have some advantages after all” I commented after getting to the head of the line for a ride. I was really scared, cause with no ability to move my legs, would they just go flailing about? I found out that they secure my legs to the ride if it is one where they might go flailing about, cause they can twist and turn directions they should not turn.
Jackie had fun changing diapers, though we did not care for where it was done at. The only place where I could be changed that Jackie could go was the bathroom in the Daycare center at the park.
By about 7pm I was getting that BEEP BEEP BEEP from my chair. “dang it!”
“What?” Jackie asked
“Low battery” Jake said, “lets find a show and sit down, maybe he can get a jumpstart. We found a ice show in the theater and Jackie got me plugged in for that hour.
“Ok that was a little bit better, that should buy us an hour or so. Unless you want to go get my manual chair and push me.” I said to Jackie
“why don’t we just relax, see one of the night shows, you are not the one who has been walking around all day”
“Ok, I am getting tired too” I said as we stopped off along side the large fountain area and I plugged in at a light pole. I was awoken from my little catnap by a large boom. I am certain I jumped so much that I probably pissed and shit myself.
Jackie and Jake were laughing at me “aww did the boom scare the little baby” Jake said
“Hey watch who you call a baby, I seem to recall changing somebody’s poopy diaper today” Jackie said
“Hey, where did you get those at?” Pointing to the souvenirs
“we left you sleeping here and ran into the store. Matt from town saw us here and said we could leave you and he would watch you” Jackie said “Matt goes to UC, he is a law student”
“that’s cool, what you get me?”
“Nothing” Jake said and stuck his tongue out
“No fair”, I said pouting; knowing full well they got me something. They had gotten me a big teddy bear that said Kings Island “OK, lets get going, I am tired, probably need to be changed too.
I barely remember much after I was laid on the bed and Jackie started changing my diaper. That night I had a dream again about the crash, and woke up crying like a baby; but Jackie was there to comfort me.
The next day, Jackie took the lead and claimed herself “DRIVER”. I mean how can I race her to the van, plus she hates me driving like a little ol lady. We went to the outlet mall in Jeffersonville, she got some clothes for herself and jake and I went shopping, but did not find much. It is hard for me to shop for clothes, I mean I can’t very well tell how something fits when I am sitting down. I got some printed shirts, some sunglasses. I thought Jake was going to die when I rolled to the underwear section and said “what are these? They sure are not absorbent like our diapers.” The girl behind the counter just about died laughing
“I’m so sorry, just having a little fun, hey sometimes ya gotta poke fun at yourself. I’m a little wound up, too much sugar, not enough activity to burn it off”
She smiled and said “I guess so. So if I might ask, did you say you wear diapers?”
“yeah, I was in a car accident over a year ago, that is what landed me in this wonderful ride”
“I’m so sorry for laughing. It must be tough for that to happen”
“eh, yeah it was tough to get used to, but as they say for every door that closes a new one opens up; you just gotta hope it is an automatic door. I take each day as another gift, cause you never know when the giving stops. If it were not for my accident, I would have never met my Girlfriend, or done a lot of things.” Just about then Jackie found us, and we paid and left
“OK, where to next?” Jackie asked
“Yellow Springs” I said I wanted to go through some of the shops, if I could. That town is not all the most accessible place, but most of it is. I decided to go with the manual chair cause it is easier to get up over curbs. The only store I could not go into was the one I wanted to. So as Jackie and Jake were coming to the door with stuff, the big burly guy who was running the shop came out.
“do you want to come in, you may be able to come in the back door” He said.
I rolled around to the back and he had a stockroom door with a metal ramp. Thank God I could get through the stock room. I got a hemp necklace, some incense. Jackie brought me a few air fresheners…. I smelled them, baby powder scent, LOL.
Soon enough we were off to the whole reason anybody goes to Yellow Springs, Youngs Dairy. Jackie was gonna have a fun mess to clean up from this ice cream. I got the largest sundae that they make and ate it all. Good thing Jackie brought one of the huge baby bibs for me, cause I was a mess.
“Oh my god! How can you put all that ice cream away?” Jackie said disgusted at me
“it’s so yummy, want some?” She declined. After I finished, she came up behind me and was messing around in the bag…. She pulled out a baby wipe and reached around and was cleaning my face off like a toddler, then she did my hands. Thank god we were not in the dining room inside!
“There ! Mommy’s little boy is all cleaned up now” and she kissed me on the cheek
That weekend started a new level in our relationship, It was never a sexual relationship, cause sadly when the feeling went away, so did “mr happy” standing at attention. The best way to describe it was Jackie was my mommy as the Adult baby community called it. I think she liked it, being an only child, and never having little brothers and sisters to take care of, and now that she works at the hospital in the children’s ward.
