Summer Of 2010

Today I had an appointment at the pulmonary clinic to check for my breathing functions. Well the news is not what I want to hear, exactly an year ago my breathing capacity or FVC was at 82%, and now it is at 48%. Doctor at the clinic has given me a gadget to check for my oxygen levels. I have to hook on to it for the night and then send it back tomorrow for reading. Anyways it looks like that I will have to start using a BiPAP for breathing.

I will be getting a new addition to my wheelchair so that I can continue to drive it without my hands. As my left hand is getting weak, it’s getting hard for me to use the joystick and so the need for a new way to control it. What I will get is called a ‘Head Array’ and it will allow me to control my wheelchair by tiny head movements.

Other than these new things I am doing good. And yes, this past April I went past the 100 mile mark on my wheelchair!
