I'm BACK!

(Because I have lots and lots to say on this topic)

More Pros:
*Going really really fast and beating people on bikes, skateboards and those who run. Never fails to amuse me when someone challenges me to a race!
* Always nice to bring a place to sit where you go, so you don't have to find a seat
* Comfy. In short bursts, it really is nice to just sit and relax. (I can walk, but I choose not to)
* Pop-a-wheelies. Otherwise known as tipping the wheelchair back on its anti-tip bars (tippy bars) and just sitting like that, the two front wheels not touching the ground. I get the most amazed looks when I do it, so I find it really amusing.

What else can I possibly say? Like it or not (and I admit it, there are days when I don't like it) I'm stuck in this wheelchair for the rest of my life, and it is a part of who I am. It doesn't define me as a person, but its the equivalent to "legs" for all of you bipedal pedestrians. (My nice way of saying, all of you nice folks who can walk without support)

I really don't think I'm going to say anything about any more cons, because they are still in the making (in my mind). Also, I don't want to be negative...

Being in a wheelchair is pretty darn cool.
