The fact that I have the ramp makes all the difference, and that it's a one-story house. Also the fact that I can bend my knee in this splint.
I appreciate your going over this with me, Dr. RJ.
By the time I'm done with this, I'm going to apply for a job as a kicker with a football team (then I guess I'll have to learn something about football...). At first I had to go through a lot of complicated maneuvers to get from the sofa to the wheelchair, but now I can pretty much raise myself from a pretty low seat using my right leg, and my hands for balance. I should be able to kick a football through those tall stick-things* without any trouble!
_______ *Yeah, I know they're called goalposts... just foolin' around!
