Day 2 with My Motorized Wheelchair: Cooking, Independence & Small Wins
Day two with my motorized wheelchair wasn’t just about mobility—it was about freedom, confidence, and delicious meals.
A Kitchen Win: Cooking Without Limits
After a light gym session, I headed straight into the kitchen and whipped up blueberry sweet potato pancakes. The mix of cassava flour and sweet potatoes didn’t just smell amazing—it got an impressed nod from my husband.
Navigating the kitchen felt effortless with my new wheels. No pain, no strain—just pure independence. Dinner? Homemade Spanish rice with Sazón Goya seasoning, plus meatballs in savory tomato sauce. Let’s just say, it was a hit.
Taking Ownership of My Space
After cooking, I even managed to tidy up and mop—something that used to leave me exhausted. This time? No pain, no stress. Just me, taking control of my space, one task at a time.
Reflecting on Progress
Sure, by evening, fatigue crept in, but the sense of accomplishment was greater. With each meal, each movement, each moment of self-sufficiency, I’m reminded that this wheelchair isn’t about limitations—it’s about victories.
Day three? Bring it on.
