 I hope you handle the use of a wheelchair better than I.  Even though it
 gives me greater freedom in the long run, I still feel as if I'm giving
 something up and fight it like h***.
 Since I've been falling regularly for about 50 years now, I guess I've 
 learned how.  I seldom hurt myself and don't have to worry about hitting my
 head.  That's the hardest part of me. 
 Hugs...Bob
