ight now i am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new standing wheelchair from The Standing Company. this will replace my old electric wheelchair the Jazzy 1113 that has been my source of torment and torture for the past 4 years. i'm not saying that my jazzy is possessed or anything like that but i named her Christine after a certain car that Stephen King wrote about! while i would never dream of leaving skid marks on the hallway walls or ripping the doors and corners off of the plaster, christine seems to glory in the destruction of my home. also, being a power wheelchair (with battery packs and a joy stick that requirers too much cross brain activitity for this old parkie brain), she was merciless in her desire to smash, crash and trash any of my appendeges which happened to be in the wrong place at the right time and she reveled in seeing me bleed or to hear bones crack! so my new wheel chair, which is being custom built for me, will not have any other power than my own arm power and this will allow me to wheel around the house, hopefully without causing as many crash & dent sales in the drywall and will allow me to raise myself up into a standing position when i need to stand up (which is becoming excedingly more difficult as days go by). if this is something that you might be interested in, please go to: http://www.thestandingcompany.com/ for more information. i am in no way endorsing this machine as i have yet to live with it but i do have high hopes since i am embarrasingly awful at driving my jazzy. -- Joan Blessington Snyder 54/14 [log in to unmask] http://www.pwnkle.com/jes/jes_web/index.htm “Hang tough……..no way through it but to do it.” Chris in the Morning Northern Exposure ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
