[Blind-rollers] hello

[Jewel S.]

I am doing all right. Really miffed because the bus took off without
me again today, so I missed another class and another quiz. I'm so
irritated. It was supposed to wait for me for the two extra minutes it
would have taken me to get there, but it was gone by the time I
arrived at the bus stop. So now I'm sitting out in the cold at the bus
stop for another h alf an hour (been here half an hour already).

I am still having trouble figuring out how to use both my support cane
and my rolling backpack. Today I'm using a messenger bag which is
already hurting my shoulder, but I have to in order to use my support
cane and my white cane simultaneously. Any new suggestions on how to
use two canes and carry stuff without having it on one's back?

What do you all do when there is snow and ice ont he ground? Is there
anything special to put on a wheelchair to help it keep traction?

Oh, another question. I'll be using an electric wheelchair at
Disneyworld this summer to get around. Anyone have suggestions or tips
on this? I'm using an electric so I can use my white cane in my other
hand. I've used a white cane with a manual (not easy!), but not with
an electric and am wondernig if there are any tips on techniques?

Later,
Jewel
