Its so cool, but very control sensitive to touch so I've got learn to drive the thing. It has these settings from a turtle pace all the way up to a rabbits run. Obviously I am at the lowest setting, turtle 101! I can hardly wait until I can get it out in the open, and have no walls to bump into, and can open it full Rabbit throttle!! Its just way cool. The only down side is I am no longer able to raise my right leg so I need help getting it on the foot rest. Steve was hoping as was I that it would give me total independence so he didn't have to roll me to the bathroom, bedroom, etc. in my manual chair anymore. I need to find out how I can lift that leg on to the foot rest myself. I

don't have very much upper body strength on my right side either so I'm not sure what would work. Thought of some type of rope to lift with, but these dinasaur thighs of mine will needsome muscle to lift them up and over. The guy who adjusted the chair for me said they will try and figure something out. They are all about independence! My kind of guy! lol... So the other good news is the Ramp people are here this morning to build my ramp [for FREE! ] in the front of the house, and then I'll be able to get out and meet my neighbors finally!! Its only been 6 years, and I know most of them and their kids have been over here many times, but there are a couple I still would like to say "hey" to! Theres only 8 houses in my neighborhood, but there is the lady in the back I've talked to [who has all the cats] through the fence that I can tootle around to her street and finally meet her face to face. Now all we need

is a conversion van so I can go places, like appts. and fun stuff. Our van is too small. A guy is coming out with another van today and we will see if the chair will fit thru the openings and will work with it, and we will probably try and buy it. So one last step and I'm free, I'm free! Yahooo!! lol....God Bless with Love, Jackie from Oregon
