    Oh I’m not far off. Only difference is its my knees and I don’t have to use a wheelchair yet.

    Super fun though right? At least we get to guilt people out of seats.

      It does happen a lot and it’s very effective for public transport when I do use it from time to time. People are really kind and it’s refreshing to see that, especially on high pain days.

      I’m on vacation right now and for my travels I notified the airlines that I need a wheelchair assist for moving around the airport. I got shuffled around by some awesome gentlemen and I got to get in first for all my flights which was cool.

      When I got to Taiwan I was the only handicapped person in line so I literally got into the country within minutes. I’ve never traveled with my disabilities before so it was an interesting but positive experience for me.

        I hadn’t ever really considered traveling with disabilities but I’m super glad that you had a good experience. Too often we hear horror stories. I’m glad you had a good one <3
