I went to the state fair. I used a wheelchair. I figure if you are going to have friends, maybe being on the level with them is a good idea. I have ankle problems, and my friends stuck by myside. If they turn from you, well perhaps they arn't worth the friendship. Having health conditions isn't fun I know it. Keep those around you, who can accept you no matter what happens to you. That cool bandana you wear around your head is a help too. Medical supply stores carry them, and so does Vermont country store. They have hats and bandanas to help keep you cool. I hope you can go to the fair and have the very best of times, surrounded by people who really do care about you. No matter about the chair or some kind a scooter, have a blast....ginnie
