[Blind-rollers] wheelchair mobility, list members

[Becky Frankeberger]

Good for you Erika.  How about the rest of you all out there.  How are you
all doing?

Laura Eaves one of our leaders perhaps mods, is in rehab as she broke both
legs two weeks or so ago.  I have her address, if anyone wants to drop her a
card or call her.

I wil post her address on list shortly.  She does not want her phone number
out on the world wide web, so write me for the phone number:

b.butterfly at comcast.net

I am doing alright. Having a lot of trouble in the mornings with a very
painful elbow, shoulder, and wrist  on the right side.  As the day goes on,
the pain mostly goes away. The elbow is the most painful, then shoulder then
wrist, that is why I wrote it in such a strange order, smile.

All have safe walks,

Becky and guide dog Jake

I saw these on youtube and emailed a link to my O and M instructor. I've
offered for her to come3 over to my house and watch them, as  she wasn't
sure she could get them to play on her work pc. I hope for enlightenment for
her and others. Erica.
