The unknowing or uninitiated are amazed at what can be done by an experienced user. I may be a 69-year old paraplegic who cannot stand upright or walk unassisted, but due to the grace of God, I still have limited use of a few muscles in my legs, allowing me to climb stairs while death-gripping two handrails. I can go down stairs in my chair, backwards; gangways to floating docks too. If you don’t learn to adapt, life gets very hopeless, very quickly.
“I can go down stairs in my chair, backwards...”
That’s dang impressive! I think I’d be scared to death. Even going down stairs on crutches was always a tense experience when I had to do it.
