I'm a wheelchair user. One time a guy asked me, "Hey do you get a speeding ticket for going over the speed limit in that thing?" I wasn't offended since I know he was just trying to be funny. But it was such an awful joke that I had no interest to talk to him. I just looked at him with no expression on my face, then proceeded to move past him.
i tried to get up at 2.30 am for live but didn't have it in me this morning ...great topic as usual ..i would get sick of being treated almost like a child because i have a visible disability
I had a great uncle who was paralyzed by polio, as a little boy. He never used a wheelchair! He would scoot on the floor, or sit in a straight back chair and maneuver to where he wanted to be, in his home. I really don't know what he did if he went out anywhere. He loved Cadillac's and had them fitted with hand controls. I think he was somewhat of a litigation with women and he wasn't particularly attractive in his looks. He must've had some hidden assets! 😏😕
I love how openly you discuss bodily functions!
That is so cool Brit, that you help newbies
Yay Brian!! 😜😆
Good for you Fred🎉
Thank you. I am definitely buying the lift. I have fallen so many times in the last 2 years

Also hello from down-under in NZ - afraid I'm not as dedicated as my fellow Kiwi - watching this at 8.45am.

About the peeing, as I told you I am in hell, since surgery in August, I did some research and doing Acupuncture may help spasming bladder
So had 2 sessions so far, we will see, no miracles yet
Very brave trying new equipment while no one home
Lol
