I guess a lot of it is having a good deal of pent up anger about being in a wheelchair, and kind of lashing it out at one of the factors that's annoying about being in a wheelchair The shift from no wheelchair to wheelchair was very quick and I still haven't had too much adaption time.

I got a lot of questions from younger people, I guess they just wonder why I'm in a wheelchair. It's not too often, but sometimes I'll get wheelchair jokes, I guess you just have to brush those off and try to ignore. It's just those wide-eyed stares that are the worst- or they "he looks too young to be in a wheelchair, I wonder what happened", "what must have happened to that guy?" comments people make to each other.

It just makes it annoying to go out, not only because of the comments and staring, but once you get in a wheelchair, it makes you see how inaccesable things can be. Kind of makes going out feel like a chore, almost.
