The problem could be that I have to use a smaller ball. It's the largest size that my grabber can pick up. Had to call emergency services the other day when my leg got stuck up behind my head. I can tell you, that can ruin your whole day.

I tried 100m wheelchair hurdles but keep getting concussion at the first jump.

GB - you have to take the rough with the smooth. gymnastics, so moving, powerful it's bound to come with its pitfalls. hope you retrieved your leg from by your head in the end though, sounds rough.

Funny GB,, but there's been talk that that's exactly where it's been,, on certain topics, that is. I won't say who's spreading these rumors,,, or maybe I've misunderstood,, my German is a bit rusty.
I liked that Zinger, thing. I saw it here a couple years ago, but never heard more about it. Did anyone ever produce it in quantity? Strikes me there might be some liability issues.

You should go for it Emma, that sounds like a really achievable target. Sure you'll get a lot of support from here.

I've never dreamed since my accident, at least not that I can remember, either due to the fact that I am so bloody fatigued I don't sleep well or that and a combination of the meds as well.
Shane I used to have some good ones too, I especially liked waking up early and being able to go back to sleep and resume it!
