Don't let Wheelz fool ya. Cam is the wild one!
I'm still trying to convince him, his family and friends to come to PEI this summer for a beach party. With my experience modifying off road Jeeps, I'm confident I can turn his chair into a dune buggy to keep him rolling on the sand. Just remember, Dancing on campfires = bad. Especially since I'm going to have to add a gas engine for more wheel torque.


If we can figure out my wheelchair seating so I can get out of bed for more than a couple days a month, I'll be there.

I had given up consulting help from therapists and supposed specialists quite a few years ago because I've gone through so much of it and nothing's helped (one custom backrest created a rather serious problem, that only a couple people know about). But, a couple months ago, I came to the conclusion that we need to try to figure things out again. So, a couple weeks ago, a specialist came to take a mold of my back to make a custom backrest from (I need something to better support my scoliosis with the causing more problems).

They also did pressure mapping on my cushion and another one to see my problem area (my hip sores aren't a problem when I'm up) and what we can do to alleviate it. As I thought, the pressure map clearly shows extra pressure where the sore is. Even though I'm sitting on what's considered to be the best cushion for pressure relief, I still get a sore on my ischial. I honestly don't know what is going to work, but hopefully working with a specialist will yield some positive results.

On a more positive note-my organic vegetable seedlings have sprouted, and I'm super excited!

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.
