  I know I don't post here very often but I read all of your posts either at
home or at work. I figured this would be one group that could really relate
to this particular set of problems I've been experiencing for the last few
weeks.  I have what is considered moderate CP and I use either a power
wheelchair or a manual wheelchair for mobilitly.  I have a full time job as
a resource coordinator for a region center in Fresno CA and I'm trying to
obtain my Masters degree in Organization Managment from the University of
Phoenix. About three weeks ago my power chair pooped out on me and I had to
go through the HMO to get a repair order and then of course they had to
order the part which as of tonight still hasn't arrived.  (I think they must
be shipping it buy Pony Express.) Then a couple of nights ago the lift on my
van decided to break down wiht me on it. I was for a time, stuck in mid air
but eventually managed to get down. I got my brother to come over and we
managed to button it up for the night. Yesterday the repair place came by
and picked up the van (for an additional cost of $ 75.00 per hour). Today
they tell me the motor is shot and they are going to have to order another
one. They will no doubt ship it on the same pony express that my wheelchair
part is coming on. In the mean time I've not been able to get into work for
the last two days and I don't know how I will be able to until I can either
get my van back or the power chair.  With the power chair I can at least
wheel to work.
Whew! Just being able to send this off help a little.  Thanks for listining
to my tale of woa.
