one of many, the smallest reason really,
is that in a basic chair with my leg up,
it looks temporary
and that leads to misunderstandings.
"Poor thing, you broke your leg."
No. I obliterated my leg three years ago.
There's a difference.
This isn't temporary.
In front of me: a full-length mirror.
My elbows on the armrests.
I look at myself and thought
"I am a kid in
a (real) wheelchair
and will be, off and on,
for the rest of my life."
And that's all it took,
an upgrade and a big mirror for
a revelation.
About time, I suppose.
