Christmas in July

It was really June 30th, but we received all of the stuff from the ALS Association (ALSA). We came home to find two bangs in the walls from where Tana was trying out the power wheel chair, but then Bob added a couple of his own too. :-) I LOVE the recliner and the walker! I can't express how great it feels to stand from a sitting position like a normal person (if you ignore the raised chair behind me) and to be able to walk around the house like a normal person (again, ignoring the walker helping me to do this!) This is the most in control and self-reliant I have felt in months and it's great! I haven't been brave enough to take the walker in public or to work yet, but I'm sure I'll start this weekend because the benefit of being able to walk with confidence outweighs my pride :-) Once again, I cannot say enough about the ALSA (alsa.org)!!
