First Spin at Home: My Motorized Wheelchair Redefines Indoor Mobility

Kicked off yesterday with my new motorized wheelchair and it’s already reshaping my daily routine. There was a bit of a mix-up with Hoverround forgetting some key bolts for the controller, but I’m tackling that head-on.

This wheelchair isn’t just about moving around; it’s about transforming my home into a more manageable, convenient space. Especially in the kitchen, it’s been a game-changer, allowing me to zip around grabbing ingredients without the usual hassle.

I’m keeping it as an indoor-only thing. Outdoors, I rely on my crutches to stay active, and for those longer distances, I’ve got my motorized scooter. It’s about balancing mobility with maintaining my strength.

And here’s the neat part: my son is totally on board with it. He’s become the pro at parking the wheelchair under the dining table each night, and he’s also my scooter valet and manager. He’s been trained to take care of the scooter in the garage and help with loading it into the car. It’s impressive watching him handle these new responsibilities.

Despite the initial bolt blunder, the impact of this wheelchair on my life is undeniable. It’s streamlining my daily activities, making things less chaotic, and enhancing the functionality of my home space. It’s more than just a mobility aid; it’s a valuable addition that’s making life at home smoother and more manageable.

As I wrap up at the gym, I’m already looking forward to Day Two at home with my wheelchair, especially the sweet potato pancakes I’m planning to make. It’s about the little joys and the big differences this new addition brings to my life.
