Steve Reporting…

This afternoon while I was at work, Erin made a trip on her own.  She walked down the steps to the garage, pulled her chair down, and went to Rite Aid on her own.  The store is at least a half mile from our house and she shuffled there on her own in her wheelchair.  She said that at least three people offered to help push her while she was on the way to the store, but she turned them down.  She wanted to make the trip on her own.  She estimates that it took her nearly an hour for each leg of the journey… a trip which normally would have taken someone about 10 minutes to walk.  She is pretty exhausted this evening but seems exhilarated by her expedition.
