Wheelchairs...never thought that I would eventually use one...
From a normal person's point of view, being on a wheelchair does have its own element of fun; having people to push you around, trying out a one wheel wheelie, or just cruise across a hall or storm past corridors...
But, now as a patient with difficultly in ambulating myself, using a wheelchair has its inconvenience as well...
Well, now being shorter than everyone else means you can't have a really perfect view on pretty babes performing on stage, especially if you happened to sit way back...(but at least you can whine a bit and *pop*, front row deluxe seats....hehe...
Taking food from the meal counter is also another task that requires a lot of patience and balance...so far...I've managed to balance my plate of wholemeal bread on a food tray....But adding a cup of water on top of that is another rocky path to traverse...
Getting around the hostel is rather fun, since I get to sail through places like the dining hall, lift lobby, even the corridors of 3A, the only problem is there are doors to be open, footwear to avoid, steps to be aware of, oh yeah...not forgetting onlooking people...
Using a wheelchair does train your arm muscles a lot...Once I am fully recovered, I might have really nice arms...or not...depending on the situation...hehe...been doing light exercises lately to train back my muscles...although lethargy is still hovering over me...But progress is still made!! hooray!!
All in all, whenever you see any person on a wheelchair, do help them. They might decline your offer to help them (I did countless times), but I'm sure they (myself included) will appreciate every drop of help given...
Believe me...I'm still on the wheelchair...haha...
