Is it okay for the non CPer to post on this? Once I discovered the joy of
wheels, I was gone! I'm a potential kerb diver for sure, but I don't have
that purple heart -- yet.
I don't usually get hung up on terms, but when I hear "wheelchair bound," it
kind of gives me the creeps. There is nothing binding about it -- my chair
means freedom to me! Of course, I was "bound" to complain about something
sooner or later...
But seriously, I love to go to museums and DC is filled with them. Without a
wheelchair, it would be absolutely impossible to enjoy something like that.
I'd never make it. My universe is incredibly because of my chair -- three
cheers!
This is the spice of life!
