Wii, would like to play. I've never been much into games on the computer or those over priced game boxes like Xbox or the PS2. They all seemed like a really big waste of money to me. But, about 3-4 years back give or take we were meeting with our Grandson's teacher and talking about his fine motor skills and the under development effecting his writing.
So I came up with this idea of getting him an Xbox to work those skills. My wife, in her usual education first fun much later attitude was leaning in the area of more hand writing practice. Fortunately for our Grandson I won the debate this time. And yes the motor skills and handwriting did improve. Also his story retention and problem solving skills developed. Plus he flies a pretty mean UFO.
So there I was sitting as usual in my wheelchair the other day staring at the hand weights I'm supposed to be using to exercise my shoulder thinking I should blow the dust off to make them look like I've used them. Lifting weights over and over is kind of like Dr. Phil. They are both boring and over stated. We could use the city pools but that requires effort and gas to get there. Plus generally during the school year the public pools in the day time are filled with either over weight women or old wrinkled ladies. To much for my eyes and feeble mental abilities to handle.
So I started reading up on the Wii. Way before Christmas I thought, Hey, this could be fun plus good for my shoulder. 6 months later and lots of saved pennies we bought one.
So far it has been good for my shoulder. In fact I hear a bowling game therapy session calling...........................................
