I mentioned before that I was exploring the meal subscription services. I tried to sign up with Every Plate earlier and wrote about the experience. Last month I came across ads for Cook Unity and decided to give it a try. Here is my experience after 3 weeks of meals. I was able to explore… Continue reading COOK UNITY REVIEW

My Journey to Driving with Assisted Technology, Part 3
I had my first assisted technology (AT) driving lesson yesterday! Yippee! This has been several months coming. It did not go smoothly. I only made it a few houses down the street. I did not even finish the driving at my driveway. But we made a lot of progress you can’t measure with distance. We… Continue reading My Journey to Driving with Assisted Technology, Part 3
Golden Literider Envy
My first power wheelchair was the Golden Literider Envy. As I mentioned, I bought this power chair when I realized that I just lacked the stamina needed to use a rollator or cane for activities away from my home. I also had my daughter’s college orientation looming. Through online research I narrowed down my options… Continue reading Golden Literider Envy
Cat Feeding Tips
We have cats. They have snuck into pics, videos, tele-medicine sessions, online school classes, and have been the topic of some blogs. This is one such blog.

And a table, and a chair, and a wall.… Continue reading My Journey to Driving with Assisted Technology, part 2
My Journey to Driving with Assisted Technology
My path to driving with assisted technology began with a scary event - a traffic accident. Before the accident I compensated for the occasional difficulty easily. I reasoned I needed more strength training. It was working too. I even found myself climbing into the car the typical person way after being at the gym. This… Continue reading My Journey to Driving with Assisted Technology

Powerchair Time
I felt it was time to discuss power wheelchairs. I bought mine in 2019 after I saw a benefit to using a transport chair over a rollator when out in public. Basically I was able to spend as much time in a store as before I was diagnosed. The transport chair had a big drawback… Continue reading Powerchair Time
Grocery Shopping Part 5, Shipped Meal/Meal Kit box
We have been exploring grocery shopping methods. I have described curbside pickup, delivery to your home from local stores, and groceries shipped to you. The next logical topic is meal kit/chef ready meal subscriptions. The option is appealing: to have an easy, quick ready made meal or at least prepped at times. These meals must… Continue reading Grocery Shopping Part 5, Shipped Meal/Meal Kit box
