Hope so! I'll check those out later this spring. I have a lot more books to look through and see what I want to winnow out.
I am thinking of getting one of those motorized chairs at some point. Easier to deal with than a chair. I need to find out how much they weigh. The days of me being able to carry around 40 pound zine boxes is long gon.
I don't think there's any possibility of fixing my feet.Back in 2008, when I got a second opinion on my left ankle, the posdiatrist asked me when I'd had the ankle fusion surgery done. I told him, never. He said that the fusion between the ankle bones was so complete there was no longer any line to even indicate they had once been separate bones. Ditto for the mid-foot bones in my right foot - they are no longer separe bones; they are one thing. The only surgery I had done was joint removal surgery in my right big toe. At last year's podiatrist exam I brought up the idea of surgery again, and my podiatrist told me that he would only perform surgery as an absolute last resort, because the high likelihood of nerve damage would result in my losing use of the foot, and the likelihood of damage to blood vessels means I could lose the foot. (My left foot is almost as bad.)
