Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Hi Please keep your fingers crossed for me. I am going to take my new wheelchair to school tomorrow. I had to back it up the ramp while standing and juggling this way and that, but will drive it down the ramp tomorrow morning. I just hope it isn't raining hard when time to put it back in to go to another school. My son suggested that if they don't have the power doors turned on, that I should sit outside until they do. I think it is a good idea, but I have three IEPs as soon as school starts, so I will have to wait a day or two to do it. I have faced many things, but this is really scary. I don't want to get half way though a door and get stuck so no one can get in. I know it will get better and I might as well make the plunge now. I go for my total body CT scan on Friday. They will be using dye, so I can't have anything by mouth for 5 hours before that - yuck!!!! Hugs to all, laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Laurie, Good luck on both of these adventures this week. I had to let someone back my chair out of a van today but my equilibrium is so bad, I don't dare to attempt it. I sincerely that hope the scan shows no blood clots. Sorry about the fast.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Laurie, I will be thinking of you as you face both of these obstacles tomorrow. I hope that the scan comes out okay.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Fingers crossed! It's a challenge to get used to a new medical device. Good luck on your testing, my dad is supposed to have a full body EBT at some point, mainly looking for blocked and narrowed blood vessels.
