Thanks! I teach sixth grade, middle school.
Today was a challenge, the kids were wonderful, but I have set a goal to teach one day standing on my feet as I dont want to loose any more muscle in my legs from being in a chair. Hence swimming a lot as well, but after using my walker all day, I was really sore when I came home. I had the chair at work as backup. A nurse recommended to me, perhaps one hour of one day, or one hour sitting and one hour standing, rotation. I might try that.

The kids are very accepting of the chair, and conciensous of keeping backbacks out of the way so I can move around and work with them. Biggest challenge for me in a chair, or with crutches or walker is keeping up with them. They are very energetic!
