Blowin' the Joint

2_26_a
I managed to go on the outing today after all, we went to downtown Claremont and wheeled around a little bit. It was my first field trip, so it was something close, short, and relatively easy going. My brother Stephen is here for the week, he came along as well and we had a great time wandering around. I was thrilled to get out for even an hour, and was happy that I managed the chair over the various curbs and sidewalks. I even stopped in a bakery and bought a chocolate croissant and a bear claw for tomorrow's breakfast. This afternoon I went to see the doctor that fixed my bed sore and got a good report card on that. No problems with unrestricted wheelchair time, and everything is healing well. He took the last stubborn stitch out, so it won't be long before I can go in the pool!

  5. You look guilty with those donuts in your lap! Looks like you got caught in the act. Yummy! Very very happy that you got out on your field trip. That must have been wonderful for you to be 'on the outside'. Things are happening in leaps and bounds for you now. We are all so proud of your progress. You are SUPERMAN!

  8. Y'know I've got an '86 VFR750 engine layin' 'round in the shop, got the wiring harness, the electronics...
    A sprocket fitted on the chair wheel, some 520 chain, and a twist grip is all we'd need ta wake that chair o' yers UP!?

  9. That is not a guilty look. That is definitely the 'don't touch my food' look. I've seen it before.........
