If only the people who 'tch' pityingly when they learn my daughter uses a wheelchair could understand the freedom of mobility it gives her/us. Her alternative without it is unimaginable.<br /><br />...With my wheelchair, I become a person with a disability, not a disabled person...thanks Anonymous for this insightful clarification.

Hurrah for Eloise! Not only am I able to go where I choose (if it is wheelchair-accessible) but I do not have to be afraid of falling - and I was constantly afraid of falling for the final three years of walking with a cane.<br />With my wheelchair, I become a person with a disability, not a disabled person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-66492135522880606862010-03-18T09:03:35.098-04:002010-03-18T09:03:35.098-04:00I had that same revelation about the lie about whe...I had that same revelation about the lie about wheelchairs when I first plopped into one 29 years ago...I loves me my wheelchair!Arnonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-2597011391598582332010-03-18T04:06:09.768-04:002010-03-18T04:06:09.768-04:00Here's to canes and to walkers and to wheelcha...Here's to canes and to walkers and to wheelchairs.
