But also can adapt so as part of me get tired I can use other controls as needed, there are things I have paid for which are not yet part of the chair, like puff and sip controls or full tray so I can be fed by a careworker in the chair as needed.

I needed to write something on my arm to tell my careworker why it looked like a bunch of snakes had invaded my face.
