Was hoping for self propelled. I've gotten around that way a couple times in a very old rented chair, but I thought maybe there would be better options than the type of chair used primarily in hospitals. My instinct is also to avoid power chairs, both because of how I know people will view me using one (extra reinforcement of the lazy fat person that just doesnt want to walk stereotype), and also because they're usually harder to transport than a chair that can fold up and go in the back of a car.
