Someone just posted asking me about my new chair as well as what it's like to live life as someone with a disability. I'm more than happy to answer any questions anyone might have so please post them here. To get you started, I will be 32 this month and was born with cerebral palsy. In my case, my legs are the most severely affected, hence the need for the wheelchair. It's a pain to break in a new chair, as it's rather like, as Ray said, breaking in a new pair of shoes.
I'm originally from Seattle, but I've lived in Minnesota since 1991. I moved here in 1991 to attend Courage Center which is a rehab facility where people with congenital birth defects, spinal cord injuries oe anything else can gain the skills they need to live on their own. I don't work, but I spend a lot of time reading, listening to FFR. writing, surfing the internet, etc/ I also travel quite a bit,
