This article talks about the kind of wheelchair that I’d like, a manual chair that has power assist.
I have a scooter that I use to get around campus with, and I also have a manual chair.…
Last week was a busy one. Between therapy and classes something had to give. So I cut back to one day a week of therapy and dropped the stats class I was taking. Now I don’t feel quite so stressed and hopefully I’ll be less exhausted.…
2004 was one wild year. I left Patricia Neal Rehab Dec.31, 2003 barely able to move at all. I spent New Year’s Eve in bed. Dec. 31, 2004 was very different. I spent New Year’s Eve at a party. To get to this party I had to walk up a flight of stairs, which I did very slowly :-) I kissed my fiance at midnight too.…

I spent Christmas with my mom and family and got back yesterday afternoon. Lots of food, presents and playing with cats. My baby cousin/goddaughter Beth seemed to really like what Stephanie and I got for her. I’ll admit we played with Beth’s Christmas present a lot too.…
Monday night we got a new addition, Gracie Lynn. We just call her Gracie. She was having some problems with Keegan, since Keegan is huge compared to her. But they seem to be getting along fine now. She is definately a people dog and likes to sleep on the couch.…
