#wheelchair life

[havegaysex]

I like to explain my wheelchair to most people like a bike as someone who can walk just a little bit.

I can pretty much walk from the trunk of my car (where I store my wheelchair for transport) to the front of my car to get in and catch my breath. Any more longer and standing or walking is detrimental to my health. Just because someone could walk doesn't mean you're going to ask them to walk a lot of distance. A lot of people who can walk have bikes for more freedom and mobility without having to rely on cars, I cannot ride a bike because it would not be safe for me due to my health issues and chronic pain.

My wheelchair gives me all the freedom a bike gives people and more.

I feel like most able bodied people see wheelchairs as the worst thing that could happen to a person. When I discuss my want to have a wheelchair for various reasons, most peoples first reaction is to be surprised that I could voluntarily consider that.

But what they fail to consider is that, unlike them, I very much hate walking. It causes me pain and fatigue, it is a miserable experience.

So to any able bodied person reading this, yes some wheelchair users like walking, some want to gain that ability back, but that does not invalidate the feelings of wheelchair users who absolutely hate walking.

Description: Tiktok from user legtty. They're in a wheelchair next to a fridge which a cat is standing on top of. The caption says "when my cat who hasn't yet figured out that i cant stand meows for pets in places i used to be able to reach." They lip sync "This is so sick and fucking twisted!" They point at the cat. "Sick and twisted!"

I want people to understand, as a new wheelchair user, I need patience. I need help. I need people to be there for me. Being a new wheelchair user is hard. Using a mobility aid is hard. Being new to using it, figuring out how to use it, dealing with the public, dealing with accessibility issues, all of that is hard. I need support.

My mom has been my support. She encourages me to use my wheelchair, she helps me get my wheelchair in and out of the car, she pushes me if i need it, she tells me to tell her if I need help. I appreciate that, and it’s the support I need. Me needing the support of others isn’t failure. Needing support isn’t failure. It’s thriving.

Since this needs to be said. Don’t push someone’s wheelchair without their permission!!

If we’re in the way, kindly ask us to move! Don’t push us out of the way! Our wheelchairs are an extension of our bodies. I don’t care who you are, if you’re family, if you’re a friend, if you’re a stranger. Don’t fucking touch it! It’s extremely rude.

Also, don’t get fucking cranky or rude when we call you out on it. Just apologize and move on with your day!!
