I am clearly not the person to give advise. I cannot tell you what to do but I'll tell you what I did. Here's a back story. I had birth my children when I was still young. I was skinny and it made me conscious because I don't look like a mother instead I look like an older sister to my children- and it's not flattering. Teachers, Social workers and Doctors doesn't seemed to trust my own children with me because I look like a kid myself. So I piled on weight. At the same time my divorce was finalized and I was free. I was also started on medication. After a few months I had gained 20 kg and I became overweight. I intended for a little weight gain but not being obese. I look at the mirror and I was devastated. Over the years, in my twenties I battled weight gained and depleting confidence. Then the pandemic came. It was during the fasting month of Ramadhan that I started working out after breaking my fast. I lost only two kilos. Then when the lock down was slowly redu...
I haven't wheeled a person in a wheelchair a lot.
Only if you count grandma but that's the occasional.
And grandma's gone to Haven too.
The other three times was when mum broke her toe.
The pavement was tall with grass but the hole in the earth
was deep enough to get your ankles twisted.
Just one foot in and you'll fall.
That's how she got hurt and needed the wheelchair.
Recently, I took my aunt out to the shopping mall.
She needed to be wheeled.
Frankly, I was nervous.
It's been years since I took anyone out
on a wheelchair on my own.
But I manage. I had calmed my nerves. I was anxious.
My aunt was nice. She wasn't bossy.
Her ride was a foldable wheelchair.
It could be folded to fit the boot of the cab.
The handles are usually why wheelchairs can't fit
but this chair has foldable handles too.
It's pretty light weight.
I supposed it can't carry a heavier person.
Probably someone below 80kg?
It was an enjoyable experience.
I made sure to ask her if she wanted to see
things up close as we were "walking".
I stopped by every aisle at the supermarket.
She asked me to take her out again too.
That's because we forgot about her specs.
A new- bifocal ones, had to be made.
I said sure, we'll set a date.
~Joy, is when you have pleasant company and
at peace being around them.~
