    When I read your post, the saying '' When life gave you scraps, make a quilt'' came to my mind, My mother raised me in a wheelchair, she never mentioned about it . I just keep a good souvenir of a person without disabilities because this is the way she chose to live her life. We instinctively knew when she needed help and when not to interfere,

    Denise, This is a sidebar question. How did you do your avatar? Your kitty looks just like my Hobey. I have a GD who's a vet tech and kinda in the dumps right now having lost one of her beloved dogs at Xmas. I know this would really pick her up. You can email me at [email protected]

    David,
    Reminds me of my dear mother---she too was relegated to using a chair and walker in the house but insisted on doing some things around the house. So she was allowed to do the laundry. I bought a hamper on wheels that she could roll to the laundry room. When she took clothes from the dryer she would roll them to her den to watch tv while she folded them. She used her walker to drape hanging clothes over so my sister could then hang them.

    Creativity.

    I was thinking the same thing. I am nearing 70 very fast and am thankful every day that I am healthy, except for some minor things. The really important thing is to remain positive and not get depressed about our situations in life. After all we still have our brain working, and that is the most important thing, no substitutes for that; we can find assistance for legs and arms. Also like the duct tape idea for a thimble, hate thimbles.

    Necessity is the Mother of invention!! Way to put on that thinking cap and utilize what you've got!
