Waking up

Most people don’t like getting up in the morning to go to work.  I don’t consider myself different in that respect.  It is just something I know I must accomplish if I expect to make anything else happen for the rest of the day.  What most non-disabled people don’t understand is that for someone with a disability waking up and making yourself move can be a huge challange.  This is in addition to everything else that has to be done to get ready for your day that non-disabled people take for granted.

I find that using an electric toothbrush not only speeds up the process and causes less pain to my shoulder. It also keeps my teeth in better shape.  Do you have any hints or tricks you would like to share with other disabled folks about getting your day started? - David Diggs
