Well, LDV, having Shelby in the kitchen with me was lots of fun... but I can't take credit for getting the wheelchair just for her: already had it because I used to know a lady who used one as well as leg braces, and having a spare at my place was easier than carting her's around all the time. When Shelby saw it, she plopped right in and decided it was fun... she's even practicing wheelies now! That lead to a discussion of my attraction to a pretty girl in a wheelchair, and some other things, and we have plans to explore more of them in the future through roleplay. She figures since I have to do so many things for her as it is, it would be fun to have me do even more! When we do I'll post some photos and if there is any interest I'll start a new thread for the topic.
Meanwhile, I'm glad Shelby took a liking to it, because it serves a very practical purpose. I have pretty bad knees and hips myself, and it's very difficult for me to lift and move Shelby around, which instills a constant fear of dropping or otherwise hurting her. Now, if I'm busy in another room she can just follow me in using the wheelchair and I can enjoy her company anywhere I am. Of course we have to be judicial about it and how much time she spends in it... Jeff warned me about having her sit too much and causing stress tears in her thighs, so throughout the day we alternate from her "maintenance" cot laying flat, to standing, to the wheelchair, and later in the evening we're usually curled up on the sofa before bed. And even though she's only 5 days old now (!) I've already begun adding extra mineral oil to high stress points to keep them supple. I've got baby oil for general massage and treatments, and Vaseline for when I can let her sit long enough to fully absorb it, but in between I'm dabbing on pure mineral oil in those stress areas.
Well, I've been a slug... we slept in today and Shelby is complaining that I haven't even helped her get dressed yet, so off I go! As you can see by the photo on the sofa she has made herself totally at home and doesn't hesitate to get comfortable!
- Shelby has definitely made herself at home, and knows how to kick back and relax!

- Since it's hard to reach things from a sitting position, She just backs up sometimes and watches...

- With a smile like that, I don't even mind it when she supervises!
