I have often thought wondered how the chair was constructed, but of course, never while at the computer. PVC pipe! That and velcro are two of the best inventions of the 20th century! <br>JackieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312567.post-78387098085369698712007-08-24T13:07:00.000-04:002007-08-24T13:07:00.000-04:00Great video as usual Patrick!

It tears at my heart to see video tape of me running and to know my kids don't remember me any other way but disabled.

Sometimes it's just the thought that counts. In the end you try, instead of remaining imobile and expecting things to work themselves out. That's all we can really do in this life, is try....(Hugs) Indigo<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312567.post-86242283683579704622007-08-24T21:32:00.000-04:002007-08-24T21:32:00.000-04:00Worth a thousand words, those pix are.

I sense Patti's dislike for such public areas where 99% are running, jumping, able-bodied and definitely stealing looks. But there she is in the thick of it! xo CATHY<br>http://journals.aol.com/luddie343/DARETOTHINK/ Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312567.post-69636271563038422432007-08-26T08:56:00.000-04:002007-08-26T08:56:00.000-04:00It is shocking to see Patti so healthy and vibrant...It is shocking to see Patti so healthy and vibrant in the first photo, and then five years later, in the wheelchair. Not only her world, but yours as well, was changed forever. It's not exactly what we plan for when we are young and healthy. I think knowing that someday even I could be as incapacitated as she is now fuels me to do more whjile I'm healthy and mobile (though not as vigorous as I used to be). We never know when an illness or accident will claim our mobility, interfere with our 'normal' routine, disfigure us, or even take our life. Which is why we should do all we can in our youth, while we have our good health, to contribute to the community of the living. Patti is a trooper, though, to join you on your quest to conquer the surf! Bea<br><br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
