I haven't started wheeling full time as Marie predicted yet. ;) I seem to be using my chair 0-2 days a week at this point, weekday wise, and most/all of the time on weekends.

Yay for that first day going smoothly. It's been a fortnight since. How often do you use your chair for work, now? Geeky coworkers are cool, at least sometimes.

I'm so happy to see an update, and I'm happy for you. It sounds like you're doing great. Please don't forget that what may have become normal for you is still new to a lot of us. We'd love to hear more of your adventures, if you have the time/inclination to write about them. :o) That’s wonderful! I’m so happy to see an update, and I’m happy for you.

I've been checking your site *every* day, hoping for an update. I wasn't bugging you, because of our last emails :) I know that sometimes, even though you might have stuff to say, well, it doesn't want to come out. I also know how it is when something becomes almost "normal", you don't feel the need to speak about it so much. It's perhaps one of the reasons I don't talk about my day-to-day stuff much anymore on my site. I'm so very happy for you that things went so well at work. Do keep us posted :) We *are* interested. As for wheeling full time vs not... I think you've set yourself up for a good position, giving you the choice of whether or not you wheel. 'Tis good. Woohooo!

I’m researching for a documentary at the moment about BIID. I’ve been reading your blog and would really like to hear more about you. It sounds as though life must be pretty complicated for you right now juggling your ‘triple identity’ as you put it. I noticed that you have told some people though who are supportive, which is great. It must have been a brave step to make. Eventually I am hoping to find transabled people who might consider being interviewed. At this stage though it would be great to just learn a bit more. It’s clearly a complex subject and there are so many people with so many different experiences. If you wouldn’t mind helping me out a bit I’d really appreciate it. My email is CarlaWright@truenorthproductions.co.uk or you could call me on (UK) 0113 222 7639. I hope to hear from you soon.
