    I use a wheelchair part time, and it’s unbelievable how much starting using one can help when you’re partially ambulatory. I find it funny how able bodied people use phrases like “wheelchair bound”, which perpetuates this idea of wheelchairs being like prisons, but at least for me and a few people I know, finally getting a wheelchair was hugely freeing.

      Same, I hadn’t really left the house since 2018. Once a week for groceries and prescriptions and that was it.

      Jesus, just being able to go to a movie theater was huge.
