wow! that wud be really cool! jeez! i mentioned my idea 2 a few people but
no one mentioned this. now, u sed "nail BUFFER." R u able 2 FILE nails
down with it? I really wanna see 1 of these! I've bin getting my nails cut
at a salon. The doctor was really yucky... Plus, I just don't wanna have a
van drive me to the DOCTOR, & hafta sit in a waiting room, & go back in the
van, spending the better part of the day GETTING MY NAILS CUT! My aide's
not allowed 2 cut my nails! & as far as the doctor's concerned, once i went
2 a doctor 2 have my toenails cut. Silly me! I figured there'd be somebody
there at UCP to cut bmy FINGERNAILS 4 me. After all, people help me with
all kinds of stuff almost where ever i go! But its just so weird that
places that deal with the disabled seem 2 be the worst places 2 get help
with stuff! I was told that the doctor was only allowed 2 cut my toenails.
& that i'd have 2 make a seperate appointment with a HAND doctor, 2 get my
fingernails cut! BLECH!
