Oh my Gawd!! ROTFLMAO! Yeah, people always either look at you wondering how come you're in the chair, or conspicuously don't look at you trying to be polite. I love the honest reactions of small children when I'm chairbound.
That reminds me: we were in Dallas for vacation and I was having a relapse. I was using a WC for anything more than a few steps due to balance issues. We were shopping in a Children's Place Outlet and kept running across the same families who were also shopping there. When I went to check out, I stood up out of my chair to sign the credit card reader, and one of the little girls who had seen me going around the store in my WC was in line with her mom behind me. You should have seen the look on her face! I gave her my best amazed expression and exclaimed, "It's a miracle! I can walk!" Everyone one within hearing distance just cracked up.
