I once talked to on the QVC channel he was selling his diet

aid of the cards that you use for the food you eat and then you do his rock

exercises. I told him I had RSD and couldn't do any standing, jumping around

exercises he told me to do all the exercises in the video sitting down. The

arm rises, leg lifts and body twisting. I forgot them until reading your

post. So try the little we can do sitting. I found that watching T.V. is

really pretty boring hour after hour so I crochet, paint things that I have

made with my woodworking equipment all adapted for me by my husband he fixes

all the machines on tables that I can get to with my wheelchair, or with my

stool. I quilt and just about everything you can do craft wise. There are a

lot of things to keep your mind and body occupied if you just adapt. Anyone

that wants help with any adaption remedies just ask I will give you all the

things my husband has learned. I keep busy all day long with housework and

crafts. Everything is done from a sitting positin. I have just finished

shampooing my dinning room and hall way the last 2 days. Now on to the living

room. When I do the crafts I use them for gifts and store all the extras then

when I have a lot of inventory I go to a craft fair and sell what I can then

spend the money for more supplies. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and

keeps me in supplies for the next wave of whatever I am interested in doing.

Just went to the Autumn Arts and Grain Festival to sell my wares . I get my

grandchildren to help me load and unload and set up. If you don't have family

help most of the people in charge will help you in any way they can if you

just inform them that you are disabled in a wheelchair or whatever. They have

been very helpful whereever I have gone. Most of the time I have more help

then I need. Crocheting and quilting takes up most of my time in the winter

because it gets pretty nippy in the winter in my garage, even though I live

in sunny Ca. Where we don't have to fight the snow. I use to do woodwork in

the winter until last winter I stood up off my stool and broke my ankle and 2

bones in my foot so I do the sawing in the spring and summer then paint and

put together in the winter all inside. Even got my 88 year old mother-in-law

into painting. If you don't know how buy a book or ask at your local

community college they are ready and willing to help everyone some will even

come to you if you can't come to them just explain your surcome stances .
