I recently got my first wheelchair, which I don't need around the house but do need whenever we go out somewhere I need to walk more than a very short distance, and I just love it. It sits in the dining room, waiting for me whenever I need it. It frees me to go places I haven't been able to go to in several years now, and makes living a full life more possible. <br /><br />And I have to thank you for the 180ยบ shift in my outlook on getting my own chair. I resisted for several years, until recently it sunk in, from reading you regularly, how my attitude was my biggest blockade. When I realized the chair would be freeing, not confining, it was like the sun coming out from behind clouds! I'm not kidding, either. I get very, very offended now when people describe someone as "confined to a wheelchair" because I finally saw just how that attitude is what's confining, not the chair. Like you said, the chair just a tool!
