    How do you handle the beach?

    Saturday, May 10, 2008, 05:16 PM CST [General]

    My husband and I are thinking of going somewhere with a beach this summer.  My question is since I am a double amputee how can I manage the sand and water?  This is my first summer with my prosthetics and I am at a loss.  Any advise?

    Rain Again

    Friday, May 9, 2008, 02:28 PM CST [General]

    Well it rained again this morning which means no bike ride,  My dogs are about to go crazy they have taken to running up and down the hall, I am thinking about joining them, if only I had legs.  It is back to the stepper again today.  Oh joy.

    We are all looking forward to tomorrow, maybe the sun will shine but for today it is indoor peddling for me.  At least my grass and shrubs are looking good.
