Sophie, I would love to answer your question, but that would completely destroy any last vestiges of anonymity I may still have here. I will e-mail you privately though.

It does take time, and a little ingenuity, especially when appraoching the inaccessabilities of the world. We have had more time to 'practice', which allows us to manage feats such as transferring in confined spaces (like semi-accessable bathrooms), or lifting and lowering our pants and such. It'll come with time, and you'll find you develop your own strategies as time passes. Keep on rolling! :) Words of Encouragement:

You write in a way that I can really relate to your experiences. And I bet you looked beautiful! (You probably also do when you're not wheeling, but I understand what you're talking about) I love the insight of day 7, that it’s also about other people’s needs and it’s cool that you’re sensitive towards them.
