Unfortunately, I have been in this wheelchair since last June and I can't
get into the shop (stairs and no ramp).

That sucks. Roll on over to HFT and get one of the little winches and
set up a system to lower yourself down there, boy

Since being in this thing, I have thought of many things that I could make
that would make my life easier including an artificial leg,
if only I wasn't in this chair. Catch 22.

I can only imagine. I've seen kitchen cabs/sink on rails which moved
up and down to match the user's height. They can go low enough to
accomodate a person in a chair or high enough to allow a giant to
stand and do dishes. You might swing by the library and see what they
have on Universal Design or Aging in Place there if you remain in the
chair. Potential booklist: http://tinyurl.com/7eax2ub


Right. And doctors should have to roll in them for a week, too, during
their mandatory hospital stay, so they can see how it feels from that
angle. It won't change many, but the few it does will be well worth
it. (see William Hurt in "The Doctor", ca 1991. Excellent!)

Good movie. On your recommendation, I looked it up and watched it. Pirate
movie sights have been quite advantageous. The hospital that I have been
going to recently has the friendliest, most helpful staff you could imagine,
with doctors that really know what they are doing. If I had gone there in
the first place, I would have been walking 6 months ago. People come from
out of state to go there. Harbor View Medical Center in Seattle. Highly
recommended.

Hey, that's only 500 miles from here...


BTW, if you are into a little entertainment in the "Holy crap. I
didn't think that was possible" area, go to YouTube and search for
"wheelchair backflip".

Har! I'll go do that now as I have some time. My 10am client called
kand her power's out so I can't work. Wow, Aaron tooks some nasty
dumps in the first part of the flick. I wonder how much replacement
high-performance wheelchairs cost for him every few months... He has
the right attitude, doesn't he?
================================================= =================================================
Quite the kid. That chair of his cost over $2000.00. I bet his parents
didn't bat an eye buying him one just to see him do what he wanted. I know I
would if it were my kid.
