Toasty Socks Are The Holy Grail (to staying warm)
I discovered recently that wearing toasty warm socks after getting into bed (the fleece kind of socks, preferrably), is without question the fastest way to warm up ice-cube legs. An able-bodied friend recently told me about her obsession with wearing these uber-thick socks to bed each night. She swears by them. And that got me thinking to before my injury. I used to wear socks to bed too. The sheets just felt weird on my barefeet. But after my injury, well you know what happened…(couldn’t feel my feet, so I forgot about this).

They never run from my tankesque powerchair in fear everytime I come around the corner. In fact, they run to me instead. Yup, little Miss Pixie loves me. – Tiff

Cropped Jackets Really Are The Shiz
Well people, I finally took my own advice and bought a cropped jacket at Target last week.

After looking for over 15 years as a wheelchair-user, and as a jacket expert who I lives in a cold climate (winters that last from Oct – April), I’ve looked long and hard, and yes, the cropped jacket is BY FAR the best design for wheelchair-users. I finally found the holy grail of jackets!…
