It's sort of like the saying you can lead a horse to water but you 
can't make him drink.  Sometimes people just refuse to use what's at   
their disposal just because it is more of a psychological problem  
rather then a medical one.  Just am happy that things seem to be  
going more your way.  It's the same with my wife, she would probably 
be much better off in a power wheelchair but she wants to always just 
use her scooter because it doesn't make her look as disabled in her 
eyes.  For the longest period of time she wouldn't even use that but  
finely she couldn't get anywhere without it so she now uses it all of 
the time.  When this other person finely does the right thing he'll 
probably feel the same way.
Frank.
