How would you react?

I was simply going for a walk and this strange old man standing next to his car suddenly says something that translates to "get well soon" for no reason at all. I just glared at him and said nothing and kept going.

I don't look sick or anything, I'm pretty sure he was referring to my disability. Maybe he meant well but it was a weird moment for me and made me feel uncomfortable.

That's typical ableism. Many people wish you to get out of your wheelchair because they see a wheelchair as an issue instead of a solution. That's their problem, though I wouldn't know to respond to them making it ours.
