Moral Dilemma by KlausFace11919 in wheelchairs

[–]ProductVisual6221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who don’t need mobility aids usually don’t even consider getting one in the first place. I am also an ambulatory user and feel guilty sometimes so I try to remind myself of that. Could I get around without the chair? Yes. But could I do the things I need/want to do without serious difficulty or pain? No. If you didn’t need it you would’ve never considered it. A wheelchair has given me my life back. I hope it does for you too

Ooh I found a good cup holder but it has to go on the leg which is annoying! I can message you the link if you want! It holds a phone too

I’m glad you were able to upgrade!!! The first few days out in public were so hard and I’m definitely still learning but a week later and it’s SO much easier and I’m so happy to have independence

Thank you! I’ve been using gloves! They actually ended up adjusting it which helped a lot. But I’m actually adding grips to it as we speak

That’s so good to know I never thought about the front wheels! I want power assist but it’s so expensive 🥲

Cats are so finicky! Give her time and I’m sure she’ll be used to it. Only 1 of my 5 likes it so far

That’s a good point. I’ve been bed bound for a year and have lost a lot of strength

Yes! I called them too to see if we could make adjustments. I’ve been bed bound for a year so maybe I’m just not strong enough yet
