so… this is hard for me, but i’m starting to think it may be time to consider getting a permanent wheelchair. i have a loaner. it’s old, squeaky, judging by weight it’s apparently made of lead.

google seems lousy with enshittified ad pollution.

anyone out there have any good info/advice/love of a particular chair?

also any advice for coming to grips with this transition in my mobility would be greatly appreciated.

plz boost if you can.

it’s difficult to overstate how tough it’s been to deal with limited mobility. hiking and cycling used to be such a fundamental part of my life.

i can still walk. but barely. the break in my hip may heal but will come with some chronic pain and the nerve damage in the other hip is permanent.
i can still cycle but only on level ground for short distances. i still love it, but it’s not the same.

and so, here i am…
to be able to do more without assistance a chair might be more useful than a cane.

@isaiah I had an ankle surgery that didn't go well and recovery turned into multiple surgeries to save my foot. The single most surprising thing was the toll a loss of mobility takes on one's psyche.
@isaiah wishing you good vibes on your journey.
