My family has become so frustrated and concerned about my holding the seat belt away from me while I drive that they found our State's regulations online for seat belt exemptions and sent it to me.
I printed this information and took it with me to a recent doctor appointment.
I asked nicely for a letter to exempt me from wearing the shoulder belt, or at least to be allowed to adapt it. I was given two letters, one for my car glove box and one to carry.
Today I ordered these seat belt adjusters. There are several styles to choose from. I've read reviews on several styles about the clip slipping-more frustration, and who needs that? I will update you on how well these particular clips work.
I will give one to my dear TOS daughter who struggles with the same seat belt issues-actually more since she is slightly more vertically challenged (love you;).
I encourage all my fellow TOSers to check on your State regulations regarding seat belt use and how you might adjust to make driving or riding in your vehicle easier for you to do. Moving ahead on our journey...with TOS. Stay safe!

Crooked again

I had hoped with the rib resection that the episodes of torticollis, (a condition in which the head becomes persistently, invountarily turned to one side, often associated with painful muscle spasms) would be alleviated.
Not so, as I am dealing with just such an episode the last couple days.
All else remains pretty much the same.
That hope I've been hanging onto that "giving it time" would bring about the results I'm hoping for is quickly evaporating.
Maybe "it is what it is."
Maybe I need to do some physical therapy and work out some kinks?
I'll keep hoping, for now.
