You are very smart to take your wheelchair with you on a trip. When I first started walking with a cane, I would take mine to use when I fatigued. I get tired easily when I travel, but it also makes me stronger at the same time if that makes sense.

Before you know it all your walking aids will be history, and will find a cubby hole somewhere in your house.

I wish you the best.

hey:

you are going to have fun in CA, its my one of the faviorate vacation destination. keep on pushing yourself and all those adaptive devices will be way of past.

I was adamant in not using cane or wheelchair and I achieved that Goal from day 1, and as I push myself more, my endurance has increased, I can walk for lot longer time wthout getting too tired

I also believe in the same things you say, I survived for a reason, and there is some good purpose behind it, well I have little kido(9 yr old), so my purpose is pretty obvious

Survivor,

Glad you enjoy the site. Have fun for your sister's wedding, I know you'll be dancing. You are going to have the desire to go sight seeing, so you may want to consider a power chair or scooter rental when you get there.

I have one hand use too and there are many hills in Ca depending on the city. I drive and use a scooter for shopping in the big stores and malls. :scooter:
