Index Number: 6035 Hi Zach, I still do a lot of advocay work in fact I do that and keep data bases on products and all kinds of general info for the disabled to keep me busy. I find that having a "job" sure is better than sitting at home doing nothing but vegitating infront of a tv. Try the Sierra tri cart sometime, I think you will really enjoy it. It has and adjustable seat that can be set either manually to the height you want or one with a hydrolicaly controlled lift. SSA will pay for one device that is hydrolacly controlled, that is if you have a doctors note saying it is neccessary they will pay for either a lift chair that you see advertised all around or you can have a lift on a tricart. Keep up with the advocacy work your doing, we need all the workers we can get, but don't forget to supplement it with education. I think that sometimes that works better. If they can condition children in schools that we are different, we can do the same in schools and teach them just how we are like them.
