Out and About with Ariel

Ok. THAT was an exhausting weekend, but incredibly fun. Almost enough to distract me from the fact that tomorrow is the roller coaster into my first 4 day, 40 hour work week in over 26 years. I'm a bit terrified. And lest we forget I'm also only 8 weeks out from  major brain surgery for a tumor. 

"Ariel" (my new folding, light weight, electric wheelchair) performed really well. Compared to "Dory"  she has a response delay to her controls and is a lot smaller (but that makes sense to cut the weight.) She has a lot of power and even managed to go over some wet grass today. I'm thrilled to have her and couldn't have done anything I did without her help. She's already becoming an extension of me. 

But isn't a picture worth a thousand words? My smile should tell you how happy I felt with my new independence and "assisted stamina."

I went about 3 miles around town in her today.
