[Blind-rollers] intro & request 4 suggestions

[Jennifer Aberdeen]

Hi Petra,

Well, this one-armed drive chair is five years old, and I don't use it the 
way I'm supposed to anymore, but the double rim is on the left side, and I'm 
right-handed. I just know that one day while struggling to push this chair 
with one hand, I had a lot of pain in my left wrist. Perhaps if the double 
rim had been on the right side I would have been better at it, but then how 
would I use my cane- My left hand is not a good hand to use for this because 
of the angle...I've tried.

I wish I could use my feet to move my chair, but I can't It would make 
things easier for me.


Jen
