As someone with a daughter-unit with severe JRA, finding the right
tool for everyday motions was a high priority. This tool, while not
a present in the normal sense of it's use, was gahdz'-gifted. She's
using it more and more.

ObEdP: You're lack of common sense is astounding. When you don't
know something, you proudly herald it. It must be nice being so
blissfully ignorant. May _you_ be afflicted with such a
debilitating ailment so that you might gain some measure of
empathy...
