The love of my life

Welcome to GOiBOT.com
July 9, 2009 - I went fishing today.

blue hippo tang And I really did have fun. Look what I caught! It is a blue hippo tang. She is really a pretty fish.

So far all the fish in my tank seem to be ok with her. The Clown Fish and Cardinals are a bit timid of hewr right now - it might have something to do with her being about five times their size. She shouldn't get too much bigger than she is now.

She seems to like laying on the bottom and playing in the currnet flow. She should be a good addition to my tank.


July 7, 2009 - My buddy.

Murphy an meMeet my buddy Murphy. Yea, I know, he is a funny looking little guy; kind of short, and a little hairy too. But you know, sometimes life doesn't let you pick your own buddies. Sometimes they just happen.

Murphy is a lot like me - we both have issues. Mine is multiple sclerosis. He has so many "issues" he ended up in the pound. He really doesn't care for kids that much and all dogs that are larger than him he wants to own (and he usually does). I enrolled him in doggy school and he flunked. I do have to hand it to him though - he did try. It might of had something to do with the cute little dacshound that got him so upset.

Murphy and his ball

We got him when he was just over a year old, or so the vet said. He has really become attached to me and Cindy. He has gotten us outside and around the neighborhood that is for sure. He loves to go on walks. You know, he doesn't mind at all that I roll along beside him as long as I don't run over him, he is fine with a wheelchair.

Even though he has issues, I wouldn't trade him in for anything. Buddies are kind of like that. Who is your buddy?

- Will we be crippled again?

Watch this short video of Alan T. Brown discussing the iBOT and getting it manufactured once again. Alan puts it into words very well of what it means to have an iBOT. Simply put; without it he feels paralyzed - with it he has is life back.

I am not paralyzed but have Multiple Sclerosis and use a wheelchair for mobility. After a long 2 year process with the Veterans Administration I was very fortunate to get an iBOT 4000 one year before they stopped manufacturing them.

I understand what other iBOT users are feeling right now. It is going to be very hard to go to a different wheelchair when the iBOT is no longer supported in 2013. It is like your life is on hold - will we be crippled once again....
