These Boots are (Not) Made for Walking

by Debra Wallace

If you should ever find yourself in a state of impaired mobility, let me tell you, you have some ceiling lifting fun coming your way.  






First, a brief shout out to walking which, it turns out, is vital to all manner of bodily functions including "stooling" and breathing.  Yes, if you can't walk, breathing is more difficult and you also get constipated.  Matthew died of respiratory failure related to not walking, after approximately 300 too many conversations with nurses and doctors about poo.  Our lungs like to move around, and so do our intestines.  When that doesn't happen, our bodies become unhappy.

If you should find yourself unable to walk in the state of New York you are in luck.  You can navigate your way through the web of government services, wait a Really Long Time, and finally receive a $9,000 ceiling track hoyer system.  If you live in the City of Rochester, this will feel like a government handout.  If you live in the Town of Ogden, this will feel like a small tax return.

Regardless of how this equipment arrives, it will be the best piece of equipment you own.  And fun to ride in too.
