Lucky me!

Today I went out in my power chair. To my horror, I couldn’t get up a curb & my power chair tipped backwards with me in it! Lucky two pedestrians lifted my chair back into it’s correct position! Scary stuff!

Dealing with climatic heat.

Hi to all of my fellow MS members of the Shift.ms community. My age is 73, although I was officially diagnosed in 2005; I am becoming more convinced than ever that the journey actually began in 1967. Since that time there has been study, social activity, work, marriage, service club activity. In my...

New set of wheels

Today I finally received my brand-new electric power chair – it's been a long time in coming, but well worth the wait – I am already been zooming up and down the road like a kid on Christmas day with a brand-new bicycle LOL
