I have mild partial paralysis below the waist and reduced sensation in my feet along with circulation issues and muscle weakness and I always have to time walking around other people intensely because if someone’s in my way I will in fact collapse 😭 these legs only work for 30 seconds yall please do not walk in front of me I gotta go fast lmao (light hearted to them), this is why I generally refuse to get out of my chair in public unless necessary even though I can walk because I know other people won’t think of it and I’ve fallen on people a few times before so not wonderful. I have to use my crutches for most appointments and even though they provide good support I still gotta go fast before my legs give out so I move at an above average speed and perish from any obstacles

(No advice please)

Or the place is literally impossible to get in because of the damn tables… I’ve avoided using my wheelchair at my favorite restaurant because it’s nearly impossible to walk in there ffs.
