A Good Appointment.

This afternoon Ruud from Summit came by and adjusted the adapted seat so that I can sit even better.

Ruud took abit off on the right side between armpit and breast, as well as reduced the lower back

Immediately I sat better, without any pressure on the right and more upright, reducing the lower back of the adapted seat meant that I am finally sitting well.

That is wonderful; sitting is really good now, but not when it constantly felt like I was sitting in a deck chair, felt like I was sitting on my lower back.

Sitting upright gives me much better posture, I do not feel as crunched up as I had been, also means my neck is not scrunched up either.

All in all it was a very productive appointment with Ruud, who is one of the good people working to make their hand6ica7pped client’s lives better.

Nice to have someone like Ruud come by, much better someone like him, who is good at their work, very supportive and actually seems to care.

He sees instantly what the problem is and corrects it, this afternoon he suggested that I ask Annelies, my advisor from Areade to make an appointment

Ruud feels that in order to have me sitting optimally, that I will need a new adapted seat made for me, I got this one in 2009 so a new one three years later is a good idea.

  

Meeting With Johanneke.

Today I have a meeting with Johanneke, my occupational therapist to assess how I sit in the wheelchair.

It will be good for her to assess this; as it could be that there are some adjustments needed.

The wheelchair seat was adapted in November 2009, so I might need some additional support now.

Johanneke will also talk with me about my problems with using my laptop, right now this maybe difficult to assess.

In the mornings my fingers work ok, with problems, these are caused by not being able to control my fingers.

By the evening I can hardly do anything, my left index finger can not click on anything and using the mouse is impossible.

Because my capabilities come and go, it maybe difficult for Johanneke to judge what I need right now.

I have tried the Head Mouse, which seemed to cause problems with my neck hernia, voice recognition, not bad but does not help navigate between applications.

Now I am using the pre –emptive keyboard, which is frustrating, as it selects all the letters that I come near.

It would be brilliant if Johanneke recommends software that allows me to keep writing my blog.
