How has technology changed your job?

… my life.

As you know, I’m retired, have been far almost a decade, and during this time, my ‘ job’has been stroke recovery .

There have been quite a few technological improvements and inventions that have me more encouraged, independent, comfortable,and entertained as a wheelchair user.

Inventions like the Zeen

Then there’s the Scewo Bro power wheelchair that takes accessible to a whole new level, allowing the user to acend and decend the stairs .I’m dying to try it, but it’s not available in Canada yet. Though it just got into Mexico, who knows it might be soon.

Streaming has definitely gotten better while I sit in front of the TV, and I’m trying each year to drop cable TV in favor of streaming services , and there are fewer shows that I record.

And I watch those  shows and binge those streams from the exquisite comfort of my lift chair.

My last binge was the Residence on Netflix, and I can’t recommend it higher . It’s a fantastic 8 episode mystery/comedy series that had me enthralled. Shonda Rhimes knows how to make a great show.

Even my Travel Buggy made its debut in my city within the past 10 years. It’s the perfect electric wheelchair for outdoors. It’s only 60 lbs and folds up like a lawn chair, and it fits in our trunk . But, most importantly, it’s given me a lot more independence back, and that is priceless.
