If you follow my blog a bit, you know that I call my wheelchair ‘Tesla’ and my mobility scooter is my ‘Scootie’ ? . The names helped in my acceptance process and now I get quite nice reactions to them.
For example, I keep calling a ‘hospital wheelchair’ a ‘truck’ because they are usually really clumsy and especially heavy to drive or even push.
Fortunately, with time, the logos have also become more modern and dynamic, so wheelchairs really do present smoothly and nicely.
My ‘Tesla’ is custom made and very light material. Because of this, I really enjoy driving it and would rather sit in it than on a regular chair when we are somewhere.
Those who call my wheelchair “cart” or “carriage” know pretty quickly that this is not appreciated … ?
On Youtube, I found a very nice video by Norman Kunc about all kinds of ‘situations’ you can encounter with a wheelchair.
Watch and laugh ‘green’ along … ?
