Thursday Brian took the final exam for the on-line immunology class from UC Berkeley. The test was four hours, he took the test at a local community college. Brian said that the test was very detailed and difficult. The multiple choice questions were not just pick one answer instead you had to pick all the answers that applied. What that means is if you have 50 multiple choice questions each with four answers then you really have 200 questions that you're answering. I know that Brian is glad to be done with the immunology class so that he can concentrate on the medical school applications.
A couple of weeks ago Brian purchased a used quad rugby chair from a doctor in Tucson. He wants to start going to the quad rugby games and practices on a regular basis. The exercise makes him feel better and I'm hoping that it will help lessen the spasms that he experiences.
A couple of weeks ago we had the lift replaced on the Ford Van that we purchased last summer. The van is a VMI Tuscany accessible van, it came with an under vehicle lift which was really nice because it freed up space inside the van. Unfortunately the under vehicle lift was very susceptible to damage because of reduced ground clearance. A high speed bump could cause damage. VMI withdrew the under vehicle lift from the market because there were so many problems. When we needed our lift repaired because it wouldn't deploy properly, there were no parts available. I called VMI and complained and they agreed to replace the under vehicle lift with a reliable in vehicle lift. I liked the increased space inside the van from the under vehicle lift but if the lift wasn't reliable then that's no good. We're going to be selling the van soon and getting a modified Honda Element so that Brian can drive himself. I wouldn't have wanted to sell the van to someone with the under vehicle lift because of all of the problems. If someone is looking for a E250 Ford accessible van with an EZ-Lok mount let me know. There's ~15,000 miles on it.
