Busy Busy Busy!

Hey All!

I just realized it's been almost two months since I blogged, my apologies to those who read this blog. So, why have I been gone so long?

• I had final exams the last few weeks of June (I passed Chemistry :)
• Early July I went out of town for a while and caught a football game (my Rider Pride was in question that day)
• I have spent a lot of time out of town getting fitted for a new wheelchair and a standing frame.
  
• I head to camp in a few weeks, then to pick up my chair and frame as long as it's here and then hopefully head all the way down to Texas.
  

Hopefully you have an idea as to why I haven't been around.

Now, you are probably wondering why I am already getting a new chair because I just got one in October and was anxious for it to arrive. It never has fit me quite right, the footplate is way to short/low so I have to have a wedge under my feet which is a problem for transfers. Secondly, as most of you know I have serious shoulder problems and this new chair will be made of titanium as well as have Spinergy wheels, which the government would never in a thousand years pay for and because it will be considerably lighter this should alleviate more shoulder pain.

For those of you in a wheelchair I know you understand when I say that the chair is an extension of you; I really wanted a customized chair that is exactly how I needed and wanted it right down to the pink frame and spokes.

Hope you are all having a wonderful summer!
