I reckon you in a wheelchair at conventions would be rather deadly! Just think of the ready made costumes - Davros would be easy, even a dalek! And you could have all the pretty girls sit on your lap - you could even do Santa!

Sometimes it's really hard to face reality. I can't seem to get TC to admit that he had to stop playing basketball. He gets pushed around too much (takes a long time to heal), he risks an AF attack and he could have his aorta burst at any moment. He keeps saying "just till after XYZ". Relinquishing control over yourself is very very hard.

Giving into a wheelchair will seem like a step backwards in terms of recovery but there are many benefits too. You've already indicated that you had a new freedom you haven't had in a while. Think of the great parking spaces you'll be able to get. Think of the sexy arm muscles you'll develop. You'll never have to worry about getting a seat in a room..

And, hey, I want to see you do wheelies!

I think you need to go with your heart and it's a decision that only *you* can make.
