I have been feeling a bit down because the physios have said that often
with small children they get around for a while with walkers and sticks but
when they get bigger and heavier their little legs cant handle it and they
end up in a wheelchair. I suppose we are clinging to more medical
breakthroughs over the next 10 years and wait with anticipation for each
posting on the list from Bob about research progress and clinical trials.
By the way we have joined our local para/quad group and we will be going to
a morning tea next week.
Bye Ann
