I did a little wheelchair deer hunting today. I got a stuck in the mud for a while, but the iBot came through for me. Was Kim as impressed as I was? Not really.

I've Been Faking the Whole Wheelchair Thing
For over two years I’ve been perpetrating a fraud by posing as a full-time wheelchair user. It’s a big, fat lie, and I need to come clean. Since July of 2008 I’ve been an iBot user, but only in the past couple of weeks have I actually become a wheelchair user, and then only part-time.… Continue reading I've Been Faking the Whole Wheelchair Thing

This is Not My Mother’s Wheelchair (Part 1)
When you can’t walk, how the heck are you supposed to get from point A to point B? In early 2008 I was alternating between an electric scooter and two forearm crutches in order to get around, depending on the distance that needed to be traversed. Over time I found myself using the scooter more… Continue reading This is Not My Mother’s Wheelchair (Part 1)
