[nabs-l] Stupid Question

[Franandah Damstra]

Well, I really just had people push me around. I have sever osteprosis
and my bones break or get dammaged easily. I'm constantly being in and
out of wheelchairs. Most of the time my classmates bring me to my
classes. When I'm alone I made a contraption that hooks to my
wheelchair and holds my cane in a diangal way. That way I can use my
wheelchair and not have to worry about holding my cane. This, however,
sometimes can be difficult on its on because my cane doesn't spot
everything. I could name quite a few times where I have ran into doors
and walls. lol However, I guess you have to come up with an idea that
works for you and just go with the flow. There is pros and cons to
everyside. You just have to choose which one you, peronally, want to
deal with.
