I am in a Wheelchair

I am in a wheelchair and I have to admit I really wanted to show I wasn't confined but no one seems to understand that every single action I now take is more effort

Going to the toilet on my own and learning how to transfer myself from one equipment to another, everything that was easy now has an intentional method

I am at the dependence of others for many things and I now cant do on my own, and asking for help to do basic tasks is something you're never prepared for

The frustration is daily as tasks you once did without thought now take hard work and all your energy and resource

Imagine, that is simply your basic needs, the tasks of daily living inside a schedule  that you are now trying to achieve everyday with peace in your home

So can you begin to see the anxiety that may rise the moment you prepare yourself to leave the house as you try to ensure you are equipped for all the unknowns

I am in a wheelchair and I realise regularly now that if you haven't been there yourself the experience and understanding is incredibly lacking

However I try to just take each day with new breath and give myself kindness as I create and learn in a new world that I try to find worth in having
