My Dear friend Gary Burgess.

I never mentioned my blog to you and wished i had. ok its not top journalistic material but the heart means well.

you will always be my best friend no matter where or what your doing, and we both no the last few months have been getting harder and harder for you. but that never stopped you, you did what you could when you could, You made me laugh and cry .

you also helped me with information, and to be honest if i didn’t no better i would have said nope Gary there has to be a mistake they have the diagnosis of cancer completely wrong.

I say this because you never once moaned or groaned. you only gave me a sign you were struggling once and then in your next breath you changed tracks.

You have been a big part of my life, you gave me encouragement when ended up stuck in bed and you said my strength shone through when we spoke.

Its been just over a week since your passing. I feel guilty i never got to give u one last hug, we never got that one last chat.

For me , like your friends, family , co workers , ex co workers, fans etc we have been left with a Gary Burgess sized hole. Our hearts are hurting with the pain of loosing you , but we all know you need to be free from the pain.

we will never forget you. it not going be easy without you. we will all say what would Gary do , we lost one of the kindest , funniest person to live on this planet. life is to short

Gary did a lot of charity work and he would like anyone thinking of sending flowers to his funeral to instead donate to his fundraiser

also there is a book of condolence

Tobii dynavox i-12+

as  you  can see  from the  video below  i loan a Tobii  dynavox   i-12 to see  if  i could  use  it and  to help with    lose  of mobility  , (  that  why  ive  not  updated  this  site for  a while)   my     mobility   problem  doesnt   fit  in  your  normal  every day    request   for  aac .   on the  form   that    always   seems  to  be filled  in  .  

i just  dont  fit.      im  not  sure  if  its  the  stress  of   having  to  explan  over  and  over  again  why  i  need   the  item . but   i Fail   to  fit   criteria  for   help  most  of  the  time  which  brings   us    to     the   review 
I  loan  a  tobii   i12  from  smart box  hoping  that  it  would   give  me   back   freedom to  do   things.   we  frist   had  to  calibrate  my  eyes    to the   device .  this  is  done  by  following      a  circle    round   the  screen.      there  also   a monitor  to show   you  if  your  sitting  in  the  right  posistion.

once  you have calibrated    you can  then   either  redo   it    or  choose   left  or   right eye  .  

you  can  also  set up  the   speed  and  the  size  of  the   cursor.

on  the  i12   like  the   i12 +    you  can   also  use  a  switch  to  access  the  icons.  most  of   my  loan  with  the  i 12    i  either  used   a  communicaton page  , practiing    playing   colour match ,  jigswas  or   we  were   trying  to  get  the  infer red   to  operate  the  tv.  as well  as  music

and  writing  this  review.
i tried  drawing  first ,  its  not  that  easy  to  draw  with  your eyes as  you  think.  it  can  be  done with  lots of practice. so  dont  be put off if  you  get  a  dot  on your first go.   

then  i tried  writing using  different   keyboards as didnt  no  which  keyboard  id  find  best.  the  one  in  the  video   i  found  easyest   as  my    aim  wasnt  good enough  for typing    i  can  use  the qwerty  keyboard  but  i  do  prefer

ive   beeen  working  on   a few   apps    and  so   review  rewrites   while  ive   been  ill.  which   is  why    ive not  done  any  reviews   for  a  while .  hoping  to  be   back     soon  with  some thing  old  something  new   something  borrowed   and  something blue.

ive   been  in  and  out  of  hospital  since  i  last   wrote   with   lots  of   personal  stuff   going  on  to.
as this   is   a   mostly   one  person   show     please   be    patient
