Ask The Real Live Guy In A Real Wheelchair.

Unlike some people I could mention, I exist.

I have been to several Dopefests, hosted a couple, and count Dopers, Moderators and even member of the SDSAB as my dear friends.

I just got my wheelchair!

I am so happy I could spit (ewww).

Ask away or just share my joy.

I was diagnosed with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis last year.

I am not rich, nor blonde, but I am perky.

Any cool features to the new chair? How did you pick which one to get?

On another note, any hobbies? Life goals? Favorite food?

It reclines copletely.

Hobbies? I had many, all in the past now.

Favorite food? I used to be a chef, so I have many. Sadly, I am no longer able to cook so its all frozen. I am calling Meals On Wheels today.

By the way, I just posted a photo on Facebook, I am Brian Malion.

You expect us to believe that? Prove it?

How?
:slight_smile:

How about hot? Are you hot?

Send us money. Or pie. We won’t believe you, but then we’ll play along.

Oh, and how long before you tell us you died, then come back to life again?

(very happy to hear you have a wheel chair now, hope it makes life easier for you)

Probably, it’s hot everywhere this summer.

Oh, yeah, I remember you trying to get one. I’m actually a bit surprised it took so long. Was the delay on your part or theirs or both? What’s the story?

My bro-in-law’s dad had MS - it was, as Pterry has so aptly described Alzheimer’s, “an embuggerance”. What kind of stuff are you looking forward to being able to do with the wheelchair?

Can I borrow your handicapped placard? I need to do some shopping and those handicapped parking spots are so convenient.

So, manual or power chair?

Does it come with cool racing stripes or do you have to paint those on yourself?

It was about to be submitted to my insurance company when I told them I’m now on Medicade. So they had to start all over.

Get out of the house!

Power baby!

I need to get some red flame sneakers to wear.

Sure! As long as you do the driving.

You fly, I’ll buy.

I just had a new central AC installed.

I think I’m handsome.

Okay, I think I can get wireless out here in the garden… now, to repeat my earlier ques

Have you thought about Halloween costumes yet? I like the one in the movie Saved, where Macaulay Culkin’s wheelchair-bound character dressed up as a roller skate. :slight_smile:

All I think about is how to trick it out for Halloween!

Man’s got to have his priorities straight.
