Is being ' Wheelchair Bound' just plain old laziness ???

Randie · 61-69, T
As a multiple stroke surviver I can say that it is not laziness. I have been fighting the wheelchair for 10 years. In August I fell getting into a medical transport on my walker. Tore my legs up badly and spent a couple of months in wound care 2 to 3 times a week.

I have a wheelchair but have been putting it off as long as I can. I use the walker for short trips and in the house but pull out the wheelchair when we go to the store or to my daughter's.

I'm not lazy, I use it for safety and to be able to get out into the world. I hate being disabled but that's the cards I've been dealt and I'm trying make the best of it and be there for my kids and grandchildren.

I try and I have Ballard Acute Rehabilitation hospital to thank for that. Their team was relentless. I spent 8 weeks there with a team that pushed me beyond my limits daily. There were days that I hated my team leader Jessica but left there thankful for her being relentless. I will be forever in her dept!
@Randie Acceptance....this will help you more than anything else.

I have accepted it. When I went into Acute Rehabilitation after my last stroke I was a broken man and ready to give up after 10 years of fighting strokes, heart attacks and falls due to balance issues do from the strokes. In rehabilitation the pushed me beyond my limits and built me up to where I am today.
I have accepted my limitations but continue to push them on my own.
Only to a complete moron. 👩🏽‍🦼👨🏽‍🦽

I have a very close friend who is in a wheelchair. I don't appreciate you're crude rudeness.

Does speaking make one intelligent?
I'm not the type to believe in karma or wish harm to another, but I must say I hope you find yourself wheelchair bound one day just so you'll know what kind of ignorant POS you really are. Trust me, you'll LOVE every bit of life dependant on wheels.🙄

What an odd question. While there are almost surely those who have faked needing a wheelchair for some deceitful reason, even that would not be "laziness"...and they would not be "wheelchair 'bound'".

My little brother uses one. He makes his way pretty decent.
