Sometimes.....well ok a lot of times, The M.S. causes me to be extra clumsy. I knock things over with my hand because, like I said I get very clumsy and frequently have tremors. But the biggest messes that I make are with my electric wheelchair. Medicare only allows you to get a standard one first. Now.... I am a very tiny woman, so I look ridiculous riding around in it. I call it my limo. lol! But in August I will have had this chair for five years. So medicare says that I can have a new chair then. And it will be customized to my size and to my needs. They said I can have any color that I want, so it will be blue, my favorite color!! And also it will have all terrain wheels. I am home bound most of the time. But I would love to get out in my backyard without getting stuck. And be able to ride around the apartment complex when I feel up to it. Then I will be able to get up closer to stuff that I want a good picture of. I' ll be able to ride over any kind of terrain. Oh, I've been told that the chairs with those kind of wheels require a lot more power. So when I get it, all I can say is "Look out world, here I come. Move it or lose it!!" Vrmmmm!! lol!!
Come share my life with all the ups and downs Of living with M.S. and disabilities. I often use humor and know how to laugh at myself. I believe we all need to have a sense of humor to survive.
