Any Quality of Life Enhancements?

[Guest guest]

Hello -

This is Wheels, again. I am fast approaching my 1 years anniversary of being

diagnosed with CMT disease. I am currently recovering (fairly well) from

surgery from a fall where I fractured my wrist in a couple of places. My CMT

has been moving quite quickly over the last 6 years. Balance is a real

challenge.

I am very intereted in learning what others are doing, have done, or planned on

doing to improve on the QoL.

For example, when I fell I did so because I came up from my basement to an unlit

main floor of my home where all of the lights were out. I reached for a kitchen

counter and missed.

Here are some of things I've done in 2009:

Home (to and around):

1. Night lights in the living area and frequented dark places 24x7

2. Put handrails on both sides of all stairways (Wow! Has made a big

difference..and they are loved by the grandkids)

3. Waterpic extendable showerheads and grasping handles in all bathrooms

4. Found a leaf sweeper (Agri-Fab) which allows me to gather leaves in the yard

like pushing a shopping cart

5. Got the Worx blower, vac, and mulcher all in one to handle what the sweeper

gathers

6. Utilize WII Sports and Fit daily for a daily exercise routine

I'd be interested in learning what others have done, or planning.

Thanks.
