Lots of Changes

I just looked back at my last blog and found that it was six months ago. Wow! A lot of things have changed in that time. While I was one of many impacted by Hanger/Linkia's power play in the O&P Community, I've left that group.

At the end of March, as a result of an infection, my surgeon performed a hip disarticulation on my residual left limb. Because of my tendancy toward infections, we determined that it was in my best interest to avoid prosthetics and work on my upper body strength. I've added a small scooter to my garage for use on longer treks and have ordered a HandBike to help me get in shape and work on the needed upper body strength. It should arrive within about 10 days ... I'm excited to get back on self-powered wheels!!

Because certain handbikes are impossible to find or see in Arizona, I'm establishing a relationship with Bike-On.com, a premier distributor for handbikes, recumbents and more! You can check out my connection at www.ArizonaHandBike.com!

I'm looking forward to helping others, in my community, get active with these exciting bikes!
