 So I began using a wheelchair for the first time in my life and I got some feelings about it. Some icky ones. Part of me feels like this is defeat, defeat, get it. Anyways, a friend of mine who was also an amputee and uses a wheelchair give me a fantastic piece of advice that's been really helping me kind of get through and work through some of these emotions. There are things that I love so much like walking, hiking, jiu-jitsu, going on a bike ride. And if using a wheelchair most of the day can enable me to do those activities because I am not in a lot of pain and have enough energy left to do them, use the tool. Like if you're familiar with spoon theory, I'm just serving my spoons. That made a lot of sense to me and also kind of helped me reframe what I'm thinking of this as. Because if I think of it as a thing that enables me to have more energy for the things that I love doing, I start feeling a lot better about it.
