Writing like "that", whatever "that" is isn't a sign of feeling more at ease. I still enjoy wheeling, in fact, it's the only way I feel alive nowadays. Folks in chairs should most definitely not smile and be cheerful :) Shouldn't be having sex either, nor procreate! ;) Hello my friend Paradox.

Thanks for sharing that. :o) I just discovered the joy of wheeling myself, on my first trip out wheeling in public. It was a royal pain in the ass, but underneath it all, was the joy of finding who I am, the joy of learning to negotiate obstacles, and even the joy learning more about the human psyche as I interacted with people around me in a whole new way. A few days ago you told me that "in 10 years of full-time wheelchair use, the joy of wheeling has never left me." I'm so glad to hear that.

I hope it's sign that your feeling more at ease at present. I was wheeling just the other day holding hands with my (non wheeling) wife. Maybe it was the sight of two 50 somethings holding hands or maybe it was the chair but we could both see it was causing interest. Maybe people in chairs shouldn't smile and laugh in public it confuses them :) Very best regards P Seems like along time since I heard you write like that Sean.
