Jude, I hope by now you have received your new wheelchair. I have been in a power wheelchair since the onset of my TM. Because I am a C4 Quad, I have just enough hand movements to operate my power chair. I don't do much doing the day. Once I get in my wheelchair, I'm usually on the computer for the remainder of the day. I just got someone to help me and that's able to drive my handicapped van. Now I can get out more often. My mother was staying here with me since I came home from the hospital, last July, but she took ill and is unable to care for me. I need someone here with me at all times. Before my illness, I was making beaded jewelry. I used crystal, pearls and semi precious gemstones. I really miss being able to make jewelry. I have so much beading supply that is not being used. I have not been able to read like I want to, because I have a problem turning the pages. I have only read one book in the past year and a half, and I love reading books. I am still working that out. I will drop you a line on Instant Message, whenever I see you on one.
