Wheelchair Pooptootin' 

istg if you've ever tried to hand-brake with just a metal-rimmed wheelchair, on a slope, in the rain

Forget powerballs or grip trainers or whatever; doing that takes the grip strength of a silverback gorilla

That dawning realisation that many other wheelchair users could probably crush my skull with their bare hands

re: Wheelchair Pooptootin' 

Which reminds me that ughhhhh I need to do a maintenance rundown on my chair, that's way overdue

Nnnnnot today! *flops facedown on bed*

(I'll probably do it on Saturday, it'll give me a chance to teach one of my PAs how to do it/help out)

re: Wheelchair Pooptootin' 

The nice thing is that I think (fingers crossed) the new silicone rim-covers aren't gonna fall off all the time like the old ones did

(The downside is this backup set are green, and so they unbalance my carefully-planned purple & green aesthetic too far in that direction. I must rectify this with more purple)
