   Hi Betty, and Nadine, I'm going to address this to you both because 
while I'm answering a letter to Betty about Nadine. I know that Nadine 
can now read also. First I really think that Arizona's med system stinks 
and hope there is some way that you can manuever around in it. Second I 
saw in an earlier post that the tricart Nadine is getting is only a 
rental for now. Nadine, this is going to really upset you, but please 
listen and think carefully and logically about what I'm going to 
suggest. Instead of your permanent wheels being a tricart, I think you 
should get a power chair. The reason for this is that with the problem 
you are having with your hand and my continue to have with hands it is 
going to make manuevering and operating a tricart harder than using a 
powerchair with a joystick control. Tricarts really need to be operated 
with two hands at all times. With a power chair you only have to use one 
h Yes, I know Nadine it is "Oh My God, Not A Real Wheelchair Crip Time" 
but just like you can use your tricart only when you need it so can you 
use a power chair. Give it some thougth and talk to the people over at 
BVR about it. I'm so glad that Nadine can now read and rejoin us. Missed 
her alot.
