FORGIVE ME 4 NOT POSTING LAST WEEK! I TRIED &, OBVIOUSLY, FAILED! MY SISTER, MISSY, & HER HUSBAND, DUSTIN–WHO HELPS RUN THIS WEBSITE, CAME 2 VISIT. MISSY WITNESSED 2 THINGS FEW DO:
1. A PHONE CALL I HAD W/MARK—YES, THERE'S A SYSTEM, BUT I ONLY ANSWER IF I HEAR HIS RING—IT'S DIFFERENT.
2. ME WALKING –APPARENTLY, READING ABOUT ME WALKING IN POOL THERAPY IS DIFFERENT THAN ACTUALLY SEEING IT!

I HAVE DECIDED 2 SHARE WHAT'S IN THE POCKET OF MY WHEELCHAIR, BECAUSE I THINK U WILL FIND IT ENLIGHTENING. MARK STARTED SHARING IT W/ME A WHILE AGO, & IT WAS VERY ENTERTAINING. IT SHARES A PERSPECTIVE ABOUT MY LIFE I OTHERWIS WOULDN'T SHARE—MOST WOMEN DON'T SHARE THE CONTENTS OF THEIR PURSES! HE USES WORDS BETTER THAN I—I AM BORING IN COMPARISON—BUT HE MISSED STUFF OR EXPLAINED IT WRONG. SO HERE'S MY BORING POINT OF VIEW:

I HAVE 2 POCKETS, 2 THE LEFT & RT. OF MY SEAT CUSHION, ABOUT 8 IN. LONG, 3 IN. DEEP. I CAN'T ACCESS THE LEFT 1WELL, BECAUSE MY ARM DOESN'T MOVE, SO THINGS MARK USES 4 ME R THERE: SUNGLASSES IN THE SUMMER (I'M LIGHT SENSATIVE), BOBBY PINS (4 A RARE OCCASION I GO OUTSIDE & IT'S WINDY), ALL-PURPOSE BLACK PONYTAIL ELASTIC. LATELY, FIA BEGAN PUTTING SMALL TOYS "4 ME" IN IT, BUT MARK STOPPED HER WHEN IT WAS BAD! (SHE LEFT THE TOYS IN INDEFINATELY & JUST ADDED 2 THEM—I CARRIED A MINNIE MOUSE MINI-STATUE AROUND 4 WEEKS!)

THE RT. POCKET IS MUCH MORE FRUITFULL. THIS POCKET CONTAINS WHAT I USE FREQUENTLY &/OR DAILY:
1. CANKER SORE MED.—IN THE BACK OF MY CHAIR, IN A PURPLEBAG, IS 1 THAT LASTS LONGER, TASTES BETTER, HAS AN APPLICATOR SO I ALWAYS GET REASONABLE AMOUNTS WHERE EVER I AM, & & NUMBS ME BETTER. THIS 1 IS 4 EMERGENCIES—I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE A MOUTH SORE OF SOME KIND—IT SEEMS AS SOON AS 1 CLEARS UP, I BITE MYSELF OR FORM A NEW CANKER—BUT I RARELY MEDICATE THEM UNLESS IT'S SUPER BAD (IT SEEMS 2 FEAL IT FASTER), OR A PRE-CAUTION 4 EATING.
2. KLEENEX—I CRY A LOT, DUE 2 MY PBA, & SLOBBER/SPIT, BUT IT' USUALLY 4 A BIG CRY.
3. FLAT LASER POINTER—I USE IT 2 POINT. THE KIDS GET IT 4 ME 2 POINT AT WHAT THEY SHOULD CLEAN UP. IT'S FLAAT SO IT'S EAASY 2 HOLD. I AM BUMMED BECAUSE SUN. I WAS DIRECTING THE KIDS 2 CLEAN, TRIED 2 USE IT, & THE BATATERY MUST BE DEAD & I DON'T KNOW IT CAN BE REPLACED—
4. METRONOME—I'M IN MUSIC THERAPY. DID U KNOW I PLAY PIANO 1-HANDED & PLAY LIKE 7 SONGS FROM MEMORY (MANY ARE CHURCH PRI. SONGS), & FIGURE OUT OTHERS BY SINGING THE SONG IN MY HEAD?
5. COUPONS FROM ZACH FROM A MOTHHER'S DAY CARD LAST YEAR!
