Apparently a sales person from the Strutt team is in Canada this month. I’m really hoping that they will come to my city so I can test drive the wheelchair before I buy one. I’ve texted with a member of the Strutt team and put in my request, so hopefully they will get to Vancouver island before they leave Canada šØš¦. In the following short video the wheelchair gets thoroughly cleaned.
Immediately, I hoped for this sentence
If your future self could send you one sentence, what do you hope it would say?
You’re going to get better for a while before you get worse.
Unfortunately I’m facing the real world fact that I’m a 61 year old woman who is permanently, partially paralyzed woman who uses a wheelchair. The only thing that’s going to get better is the technology ofon the he wheelchair i use. The truth is I’ve been depressed lately and I’m finding it difficult to hold onto hope that I will experience any more physical improvement before my life ends.
Beginning on Monday hubby and I are starting to actively look at condos physically again and we’ll be looking for a new SUV as well. I’m also hoping to take a test drive before purchasing a new wheelchair.
We’re changing our livesĀ mostly for my mental health. And I couldn’t be happier about that.

#GoodNewsMonday new sofa and more independence
We decided to get a new sofa a couple of weeks ago.
It recliners on both sides and has heat and air massage. Unfortunately it’s a couple of inches lower than my wheelchair and doesn’t lift me to standing, but I found the perfect work around. Placing a saskapole in the right spot so I can pull myself up.
There was definitely a learning curve as far as where to put the pole, but today I stood up on my own and transferred to my wheelchair by myself…finally.
As to why we did this, I really missed being able to cuddle with my husband and wanted a piece of furniture that would allow us to do just that. Once we move, we plan to get a king size adjustable bed with a tempurpedic mattress so I can sleep in bed with less pain. Just have to find the right place.
