That's how new this piece is, Jude, that it has velcro on it. They don't usually leave behind equipment this new and in this good a shape. I am thinking about all the folks who could use good adaptive equipment like this and can't afford it or don't have the right insurance.

Well I wonder what would it take to get all of this equipment to those who need it?? This is such a huge waste and there are so many who need it.

If the stuff was here in ATL, I know how to get it to folks that could use it. If it was let loose, that is. Looks like lots of it is still usable. Even that one device for tortu.. oops, (cover nose from Lynne), I mean, stander.

They are actually fairly comfortable. All new staff are supposed to sit in or try on each piece of equipment to see what it's like and get a little empathy for the person who uses it. I found the sidelyers surprisingly comfortable and I would never have thought it by looking at them. Since many people who use this equipment are verbal, you can get very quick feedback on how comfortable it is. There are also a lot of physiological signs that can clue you in quickly if the equipment is not comfortable.

If they tear these buildings down, will they remove anything salvageable that MAYBE could be of use to someone else? MAYBE?

"I have to go now Clarissa, I'm having an old friend for dinner". I'm sorry, I KNOW it says "hip straps" but my first thought at seeing this was that thing they had on Hannibal Lecter's mug in Silence of the Lambs.
